Using the Configurator



Configurator is a tool intended primarily for configuring printer devices. Since a device combines the printer, Configurator provides options logically grouped for
printer. There is also a special port option responsible for the regulation of access to a printer via a single I/O channel.



After installing the printer driver, the Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.

Opening the Configurator

1. Double-click Configurator on the desktop.

You can also click the Startup Menu icon, select Dell printer, and then Configurator.

2. Press each button on the Modules pane to switch to the corresponding configuration window.

You can use the on-screen help by clicking Help.

3. After changing the configurations, click Exit to close the Configurator.

Printers Configuration



Printers configuration has two tabs: Printers and Classes.

Printers Tab



You can see the current system's printer configuration by clicking on the printer icon button on the left side of the MFP Configurator window.



You can use the following printer control buttons:



l Refresh: renews the available printers list.



l Add Printer: allows you to add a new printer.



l Remove Printer: removes the selected printer.



l Set as Default: sets the current printer as a default printer.



l Stop/Start: stops/starts the printer.



l Test: allows you to print a test page to check if the machine is working properly.



l Properties: allows you to view and change the printer properties. For details, see "Configuring Printer Properties".

Classes Tab



The Classes tab shows a list of available printer classes.



l Refresh: renews the classes list.



l Add Class...: allows you to add a new printer class.



l Remove Class: removes the selected printer class.

Ports Configuration



In this window, you can view the list of available MFP ports, check the status of each port, and release a port that is stalled in a busy state after its owner has

terminated for any reason.



l Refresh: renews the available ports list.



l Release port: releases the selected port.

Sharing Ports Between Printers



Your printer may be connected to a host computer via the parallel port or USB port. Since the printer device contains more than one device, it is necessary to
organize proper access of "consumer" applications to these devices via the single I/O port.



The Dell Printer driver package provides an appropriate port-sharing mechanism that is used by Dell printer and scanner drivers. The drivers address their
devices via so-called ports. The current status of any port can be viewed via the Ports Configuration

. Post sharing prevents you from accessing one functional

block of the printer device, while another block is in use.



When you install a new printer onto your system, it is strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of a Configurator. In this case, you will be asked
to choose an I/O port for the new device. This choice provides the most suitable configuration for the printer's functionality.

Configuring Printer Properties



Using the properties window provided by the Printers configuration, you can change the various printer properties for your machine.

1. Open the Configurator.

If necessary, switch to Printers configuration.

2. Select your printer on the available printers list and click Properties.

3. The Printer Properties window opens.

The following five tabs display at the top of the window:

l General: allows you to change the printer location and name. The name entered in this tab displays on the printer list in Printers configuration.
l Connection: allows you to view or select another port. If you change the printer port from USB to parallel or vice versa while in use, you must re-

configure the printer port in this tab.

l Driver: allows you to view or select another printer driver. By clicking Options, you can set the default device options.
l Jobs: shows the list of print jobs. Click Cancel Job to cancel the selected job; select the Show completed jobs check box to see previous jobs on

the job list.

l Classes: shows the class that your printer is in. Click Add to Class to add your printer to a specific class or click Remove from Class

to remove the

printer from the selected class.

l Click OK to apply the changes and close the Printer Properties Window.

Printing a Document

Printing from Applications



There are many Linux applications from which you are allowed to print using the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS). You can print from any of these
application on your machine.

1. From the application you are using, select Print from the File menu.

2. Select Print directly using lpr.

3. In the Dell LPR window, select the model name of your machine from the Printer list and click Properties.

4. Change the printer and print job properties.

The following four tabs display at the top of the window.

l General: allows you to change the paper size, paper type, and orientation of the documents, enables the duplex feature, adds start and end

banners, and changes the number of pages per sheet.

l Text: allows you to specify the page margins and set the text options, such as spacing or columns.
l Graphics: allows you to set image options used when printing images/files, such as color options, image size, or image position.
l Device: allows you to set the print resolution, paper source, and destination.

5. Click OK to apply the changes and close the Properties window.

6. Click OK in the Dell LPR window to start printing.

7. The Printing window appears allowing you to monitor the status of your print job.

To abort the current job, click Cancel.

Printing Files



You can print many different types of files on the Dell printer device directly from the command line interface using the standard CUPS way. The CUPS lpr utility
allows you do that, but the driver's package replaces the standard lpr tool with a much more user-friendly Dell LPR program.



To print any document file:

1. Type lpr <file_name> from the Linux shell command line and press Enter. The Dell LPR window appears.

When you type only lpr and press Enter, the Select file(s) to print window appears first. Select the files you want to print and click Open.

2. In the Dell LPR window, select your printer from the list and change the printer and print job properties.

For details about the properties window, see "Printing a Document".

3. Click OK to start printing.

Print Media Guidelines



Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the
appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing problems. This chapter provides information on how to make print media selections, how to care
for the print media, and how to load them in the Standard Tray, Optional Trays or Multi-purpose Feeder and High Capacity Feeder.

Paper



For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, long grain paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the printer before
buying large quantities.



When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly. See "Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray" and

"Using the Multi-purpose Feeder" for detailed loading instructions.

Paper Characteristics



The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you follow these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock:

Weight



The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 120 g/m2 (16 to 32 lb bond) long grain in the paper tray. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) may
not be substantial enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) long grain paper.



For duplex printing, use 60 to 120 g/m2 (16 to 32 lb bond) paper.

Curl



Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through
the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the paper tray, can contribute to paper curling
prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.

Smoothness



The degree of smoothness of paper directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print
quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness should be between 100 and 300 Sheffield points; however, smoothness
between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.

Moisture Content



The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper
until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.

Setting the Paper Type

Tray Behavior

Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long grain, running the length of the paper, or short grain, running the
width of the paper.



For 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, long grain fibers are recommended. For papers heavier than 90 g/m

2

(24 lb bond), short grain fibers are preferred.

For the Multi-purpose Feeder, 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, long grain fibers are recommended.

Fiber Content



Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in
fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers, such as cotton, possess characteristics that can result in degraded paper
handling.

Recommended Paper



To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business papers designed for general business use may also
provide acceptable print quality.



Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When choosing any print media, consider the weight, fiber content, and

color.



Use only paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the paper manufacturer or
vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.

Unacceptable Paper



The following papers are not recommended for use with the printer:



l Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon

required (NCR) paper


l Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer



l Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser



l Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than 0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR)

forms


l Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers



l Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers



l Recycled papers containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet DIN 19 309



l Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m

2

(16 lb)



l Multiple-part forms or documents

Selecting Paper



Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.



To help avoid jams or poor print quality:



l Always use new, undamaged paper.



l Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This information is usually indicated on the paper package.



l Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.



l Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. Mixing results in jams.



l Do not use coated papers.



l Remember to change the paper size setting when using a source that does not support auto size sensing.



l Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy is displayed on the operator panel.



l Ensure the paper is properly loaded in the source.



l Before purchasing large quantities of paper, it is recommended that initially a small quantity be purchased, and tested in the printer to verify suitable

results.


l Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead



Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:



l Use long grain paper for best results.



l Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.



l Choose papers that absorb ink but do not bleed.



l Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.



Use papers printed with heat-resistantinksdesignedforuseinxerographiccopiers.Theinkmustwithstandtemperaturesupto180°C(356° F) without
melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser. Oxidation-set or oil-based inks
should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.



Preprintedpapers,suchasletterhead,mustbeabletowithstandtemperaturesupto180°C(356° F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

Printing on Letterhead



Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques.



Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper:



l Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of prepunched paper.



l Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple

sheets feed through the printer.


l Prepunched paper could include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent cleaning, and feed reliability may not be

as good as that of standard paper.

Transparencies



Try samples of any transparencies you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities:



l Usetransparenciesdesignedspecificallyforlaserprinters.Transparenciesmustbeabletowithstandtemperaturesupto195°C(383° F) without

melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions.


l Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies, which could result in poor print quality.



l Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.



l Transparencies are supported in Multi-purpose Feeder only.

Selecting Transparencies



The printer can print directly on to transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print
samples on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.



Checkwiththemanufacturerorvendortodeterminewhetheryourtransparenciesarecompatiblewithlaserprintersthatheattransparenciesupto195° C
(383° F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Envelopes



Envelopes are supported in Multi-purpose Feeder only. Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large
quantities. See "Using the Multi-purpose Feeder" for instructions on loading an envelope.



When printing on envelopes:



l To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.



l For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m

2

(20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight for the Multi-purpose

Feeder with cotton content 25 percent or less.


l Use only new, undamaged envelopes.



l For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:

¡ Have excessive curl or twist
¡ Are stuck together or damaged in any way
¡ Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
¡ Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
¡ Have an interlocking design
¡ Have postage stamps attached
¡ Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
¡ Have nicked edges or bent corners
¡ Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes



l Useenvelopesthatcanwithstandtemperaturesupto195°C(383° F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.

If

you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.



l Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.



l Load an envelope with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. The end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the Multi-

purpose Feeder first.

See "Using the Multi-purpose Feeder" for instructions on loading an envelope.

Labels



Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter-, A4-, and legal-

size sheets. Label adhesives, face

sheet(printablestock),andtopcoatsmustbeabletowithstandtemperaturesupto195°C(383° F) and pressure up to 25 pounds per square inch (psi). You
can load one label sheet at a time in the Multi-purpose Feeder.



Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity:



l Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your

cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.


l Uselabelsthatcanwithstandtemperaturesupto195°C(383° F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.



l Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.



l Do not use label sheets that have adhesive up to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away

from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.


l If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125-in. (3-mm) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and replaced with a non-

oozing

adhesive.


l Remove a 0.125-in. (3-mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.



l Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.



l Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

Card Stock



Card stock is single ply and has a large array of properties, such as moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See

"Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications" for information on the preferred weight and grain direction of print media.



Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity:



l Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality causing print media handling or jamming problems.



l Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.



l Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile

components into the printer.


l We recommend the use of long grain card stock.

NOTE: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.

Storing Print Media



Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality:



l Forbestresults,storeprintmediainanenvironmentwherethetemperatureisapproximately21°C(70° F) and the relative humidity is 40%.



l Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.



l When storing individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.



l Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray

For the majority of your print jobs, load the print media in tray 1. Tray 1 can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain paper.



For added capacity of 500 sheets per tray, you can purchase optional trays and attach them below the standard tray. You can attach up to three additional
trays. For order information for optional trays, see "Installing Optional Tray" for installation instructions.



To use many different types and sizes of paper, see "Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications".



To load print media into tray 1 or optional trays (both are loaded the same way), follow these instructions .

1. Pull open the paper tray and load paper with the print side face down.

Load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front side of the tray.

For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see "Loading Print Media".

Using the Multi-purpose Feeder



Use the Multi-purpose Feeder to print transparencies, labels, envelopes, or postcards, in addition to making quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not
currently loaded in the paper tray.



Acceptable print materials are plain paper ranging from 3.0 by 5.0 in. (76 by 127 mm) to Legal, 8.5 by 14 in. (216 by 356 mm) - the largest size acceptable ­and weighing 16 lb - 56 lb.

NOTE: If you experience problems with paper feed, place the paper in the Multi-purpose Feeder.

NOTE: You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with

paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.



To use the Multi-purpose Feeder:

1. Pull the Multi-purpose Feeder down towards you; pull its extension to hold longer paper.

2. If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print-quality problems.

3. Load the print material with the side to be printed on facing up.

Depending on the paper type being used, adhere to the following loading method:

l Envelopes: load with the flap side down and stamp area on the top left side.
l Transparencies: load with the print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.
l Labels: load with the print side up and top short edge entering the printer first.
l Preprinted paper: load with the design face up, top edge towards the printer.
l Card stock: load with the print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.
l Previously Printed Paper (re-use): the printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge toward the printer.

4. Squeeze the multi-purpose feeder paper width guides and adjust them to the width of the paper. Do not use force, or the paper will buckle resulting in
a paper jam or skew.

5. After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the Multi-purpose Feeder. See "Setting the Paper Type".

NOTE: The printer driver settings override the settings on the operator panel.

CAUTION: Ensure the rear door is open when printing on transparencies. If not, the transparencies may tear when exiting the machine.

NOTE: To avoid paper jams and print quality problems, load only print media listed"Paper Specifications".

NOTE: Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the Multi-purpose Feeder.

6. After printing, return the multi-purpose feeder extension back to its place and close the Multi-purpose Feeder.

Printing on special print materials



To load special print materials in the Multi-purpose Feeder. To change print settings for printing a document, click on Paper tab, Source, and MP Feeder.



This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading the Multi-purpose Feeder.

1. Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

2. Squeeze the multi-purpose feeder width guides and adjust them to the width of the paper. Do not use too much force; the paper will buckle resulting in
a paper jam or skew.

3. To print a document, set the paper source to MP Feeder and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software application.

4. Print the document.

5. After printing, return the multi-purpose feeder extension back to its place and close the Multi-purpose Feeder.

Tips on using the Multi-purpose Feeder



l Load only one size of print material at a time in the Multi-purpose Feeder.



l To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the Multi-purpose Feeder. This also applies to other types of print materials.



l Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the Multi-purpose Feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.



l To avoid paper jams and print quality problems, load only print materials listed in "Print Media Guidelines".



l Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the Multi-purpose Feeder.



l To avoid paper jams when using print media 3 by 5 in. (76 by 127 mm) in the Multi-purpose Feeder, open the rear door for straight paper path.



l Open rear door of printer when printing on transparencies. If not, they may tear when exiting the machine.

Using the High Capacity Feeder



To increase the paper handling capacity of your printer, install a High Capacity Feeder. A High Capacity Feeder can hold up to 2100 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb)
plain paper.



To use many different types and sizes of paper, see "Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications". See "Installing High Capacity Feeder" for installation
instructions.



To load print media into the High Capacity Feeder, follow these instructions:

1. Open the High Capacity Feeder.

2. Squeeze the paper size guide and slide it to the desire paper size marked.

3. Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and fan them out. Do not fold or crease the print media. Align the edges on a level surface.

4. Insert the paper stack into the High Capacity Feeder with the print side facing down.

5. Close the High Capacity Feeder completely.



You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn
the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

For Standard, Optional 500 Sheet Tray and HCF Setting Paper Size



Standard, Optional 500-sheet trays, and High Capacity Feeder: Standard paper sizes are automatically detected if the media is loaded correctly in the tray
and the guides are adjusted correctly. When the tray is closed, the operator panel shows the paper size selected.



Standard and Optional trays support custom paper sizes from A5 to Legal. To set the custom size, use the operator panel to enter length and width
dimensions by the following steps.

Setting the Paper Type



After loading paper in the paper tray or the Multi-purpose Feeder, set the paper type using the operator panel buttons. For PC-printing, select the paper
type in the application program you use.

1. Press Menu ( ).

2. Press Scroll ( to ) to highlight Paper Setup and press Select ( ).

3. Press Scroll ( to ) to highlight Paper Size/Type and press Select ( ).

4. Press Scroll ( to ) to select the paper tray to be used and press Select ( ).

5. Press Scroll ( to ) to highlight Type and press Select ( ).

6. Press Scroll ( to ) to find the paper type to be used and press Select ( ).

7. Press Cancel ( ) to return to Standby mode.

Tray Behavior

Tray Linking



Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays. The print media in the multiple sources must be the same size and type. The printer automatically
links the trays: when one tray is empty, print media feeds from the next linked tray.



For example, if the same size and type of print media are loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer selects print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty and
then automatically feeds print media from the next linked tray, tray 4.



By linking all trays (standard and optional), a single source with a capacity of up to 3,100 sheets is created.

NOTE: If you experience problems with paper feed, place the paper in the Multi-purpose Feeder.



To link the trays, load only the same size and type of print media in each tray. Set the paper size and type for each tray.





To disable tray linking, choose either a unique paper size/ type for each tray or use the operator panel, as follows:

1. Press Menu ( ).

2. Press Scroll ( to ) to highlight Paper Setup and press Select ( ).

3. Press Scroll ( to ) to highlight Tray Behavior and press Select ( ).

4. Press Scroll ( to ) to highlight Tray Linking and press Select ( ).

5. Press Scroll ( to ) to Off to disable tray linking
and press Select ( ).

6. Press Cancel ( ) to return to Standby mode.

Substitute Size



This setting is used to determine whether the printer can substitute another paper size when the requested paper size is not available in any of the input
trays. The Printer will substitute A4/Letter, A5/Statement, and B5/JIS B5. For example, if A4 is the requested paper size and there is no A4 paper in any of the
input source, then the printer will print on Letter size paper, if available.



When the substitute size is set to Off, it means no substitution is allowed for the requested paper size.

Configure MPF



Multi-purpose Feeder can be configured to behave in Tray mode or in Bypass mode by setting the Configure MPF menu in the operator Panel.

Bypass Mode



In this mode, the printer pulls the paper from the Multi-purpose Feeder first unless it is closed or empty. The Multi-purpose Feeder gets the highest priority
and pulls whatever material is in the Multi-purpose Feeder.

Tray Mode



In this mode, the Multi-purpose Feeder is treated as another papertray; the printer pulls paper from the tray that matches the size and type. First preference
goes to the default source.



Using a Favorite Setting





To save a Favorites item:

2. Enter a name for the item in the Favorites input box.

User Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the
fonts that are stored in its memory(resident fonts) to print your document,
rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because
downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing
time. When using Printer fonts, the printer tries to match the fonts used in your
document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your
document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed
output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.

Save as Form for Overlay: Select Save as Form for Overlay to save the
document as a form file (C:\FORMOVER\*.FOM). Once this option is selected, the
printer driver requires the file name and destination path each time you print. If
you want to preset the file name and specify the path, click on the button in the

Output to area, type the file name, and specify the path.

Job type

Job type dialog allows you to select how to print or save the printing file by

using the RAM Disk or optional HDD. Select one of the following settings:

l Normal: Select this setting for normal printing without storing your

documents in the RAM Disk. If you install the optional HDD, check the
Store to HDD check box to save your document in the hard disk after
printing. The saved document can be printed any time from the printer's
control panel, as well as from your PC.

l Proof: This setting is available when you make more than two copies. The

printer prints the first copy, then waits so that you can check the printing
if there is any problem. After checking, you can continue printing the
remaining copies. If you want to save the file in the hard disk after proof
printing, check Store to HDD check box.

l Confidential: Select this setting to send your private or confidential

document with a specified password to the RAM Disk so that you can
prevent other users from accessing it. To print the document, you must
enter the password. After printing, the document is cleared from the RAM
Disk. If you want to save the file in the hard disk after printing, check
Store to HDD check box.

l Store: Select this setting to save a document in the hard disk without

printing. When you print the saved document using the control panel, you
must enter a password. Use this setting when you store a private or a
confidential document. Check Store to Public HDD to save a document in
the hard disk without printing. By using this setting, the saved document
can be printed by any users without entering a password. Use this
setting when you store public documents.

l Print Schedule: Select this setting to print the document at a specified

time. If you set the time for 11 PM when the printer is hardly used, the
printer stores the document in the hard disk and prints it at 11 PM.

NOTE: Store, Print Schedule, Store to HDD and Store to Public HDD

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document.
Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create
an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company's letterhead, you do
not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
