Installing the Printer Driver

This section explains how to install the printer driver. There are two ways to install the printer driver: using Quick Install, which installs the settings at once, or installing the appropriate driver according to the port you want to use.

Quick Install

Windows 95 / 98 / Me / 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0 users can easily install this software using the supplied CD-ROM.

Using Quick Install, the PCL printer driver and/or RPCS printer driver, DeskTopBinder Lite and SmartDeviceMonitor for Client are installed under network environment, and the TCP/IP port will be set.

Important

❒ To install printer driver under Windows 2000 / XP Professional, Windows

Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrator.

❒ If you connect using USB, refer to p.39 “Installing the Printer Driver Using

USB” and install the printer driver.

A Quit all applications currently running. B Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

The installer starts.

Auto Run may not work with certain operating system settings. If this happens, launch “Setup.exe” on the CD-ROM root directory.

C Select an interface language, and then click [OK].

The default interface language is English.

D Click [Quick Install].

Form Feed

Do not use NetWare to configure form feed. Form feed is controlled by the printer driver on Windows. If NetWare form feed is configured, the printer may not print properly.

Follow the procedure below to disable form feed according to the operating system used:

• Under Windows 95 / 98 / Me, clear the [Form feed] check box on the [Printer Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box.

• Under Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0, clear the [Form feed] check box on the [NetWare Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box.

Banner Page

Do not use NetWare to configure a banner page.

Follow the procedure below to disable banner pages according to the operating system used:

• Under Windows 95 / 98 / Me, clear the [Enable banner] check box on the [Print- er Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box.

• Under Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0, clear the [Enable banner] check box on the [NetWare Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box.

Printing after Resetting the Printer

Printer to print server connection requires 30 - 40 seconds to resume after the printer is reset. During this period, jobs may be accepted (depending on NetWare specifications) but not printed.

To print after resetting the printer as the remote printer, check on the print server that the remote printer is disconnected, or wait for two minutes before trying to print.

Other Print Operations

Unauthorized Copy Control

You can embed patterns and text under printed text to prevent unauthorized copying of the document. Unauthorized Copy Control consists of two functions:

[Data security for copying] and [Mask type:].

Important

❒ This function is designed to discourage copying of confidential documents; it

does not prevent unauthorized use of information.

Opening the Unauthorized Copy Control Window

A In the RPCS printer driver, open the [Printing Preference] window. B Click [Add/Change Custom Settings...]. C Select the [Unauthorized copy...] check box. D Click [Control Settings...].

The Unauthorized Copy Control window appears.

Note

❒ For details, see the printer driver Help.

Using [Data security for copying]

You can embed a print pattern by setting it in the printer driver.

❖ Setting [Data security for copying] in the printer driver

• Select the [Data security for copying] checkbox. You can also enter the text in the [Text:] box.

• You cannot select the [Mask type:] checkbox at the same time.

• To print a document protected by gray overprint, the machine must be set up correctly. Consult your administrator.

Unauthorized Copy Control

❖ Printing a document using [Data security for copying]

1. The pattern and text you have set

is printed.

2. The document is copied or stored

in copiers / multifunction machines which the optional Copy Data Security unit is installed.

3. The document is blanked by gray

overprint.

Note

❒ When printing a document that is set with [Data security for copying], the ma-

chine does not require the optional Copy Data Security unit to be installed. The Copy Data Security unit is required when copying or storing a document protected by gray overprint.

❒ Only the RPCS printer driver is supported.

❒ Printing at 200 × 200 dpi is not possible.

❒ You cannot partially embed a pattern and text in a document.

❒ To make the embedded pattern clear, set the character size at least 50 pt (pref-

erably 70 to 80 pt) and character angle to between 30 and 40 degrees.

❒ Use 182 × 257 mm (7

/4” × 101/2”) or larger paper.

❒ Use ordinary or recycled paper of at least 70% whiteness.

❒ Duplex printing may interfere with this function as a result of text and pat-

terns being visible through the paper.

Reference

For details about setting [Data security for copying], see the printer driver Help.

AJL030S

Other Print Operations

Using [Mask type:]

You can embed patterns and text in a document by setting in the printer driver to prevent unauthorized copying.

❖ Setting [Mask type:] in the printer driver

• Select a pattern from [Mask type:], and then enter text in the [Text:] box.

• You can select overprint color from [Black], [Cyan], or [Magenta] in the

[Color:] list.

Note

❒ You can set only [Text:], but [Mask type:] and [Text:] must be set together.

❖ Printing a document using [Mask type:]

1. The pattern and text you have set

is printed palely.

2. The document is copied, scanned,

or stored in copiers / multifunction machines.

3. The pattern and text you have set

appear clearly.

Note

❒ Only the RPCS printer driver is supported.

❒ Printing at 200 × 200 dpi is not possible.

❒ You cannot partially embed patterns and text strings in a document.

AJL031S

Unauthorized Copy Control

❒ To make the embedded pattern clear, set the character size at least 50 pt (pref-

erably 70 to 80 pt) and character angle to between 30 and 40 degrees.

❒ Due to the effects of the settings, the results of copying, scanning, and saving

documents in the document server may vary depending on the machine model and setting conditions.

❒ Printing with background patterns and text may be slower than normal print-

ing.

Reference

For details about setting [Mask type:], see the printer driver Help.

Important Notice

• The supplier does not provide warranty regarding the appearance of print patterns and other copy protection features. The appearance of the print patterns and the performance of Unauthorized Copy Control may vary depending on the quality of paper used and the machine model and settings.

• The supplier takes no responsibility for any damages sustained in connection with use of or inability to make use of Unauthorized Copy Control print patterns.

Sample Print

Use this function to print only the first set of a multiple-set print job. After you have checked the result, remaining sets can be printed or canceled using the machine's control panel. This can reduce misprints due to mistakes in content or settings.

Important

❒ A Sample Print file cannot be stored if:

• the total number of Sample Print, Locked Print, Hold Print, and Stored

Print files in the machine is over 100. (The maximum number varies depending on the volume of data in files.)

• the file contains over 1,000 pages.

• sent or stored files in the machine contain over 2,000 pages in total.

Note

❒ If a Sample Print file has not been stored properly, check the error log on the

display panel.

❒ Even after you turn off the machine, stored documents in the machine re-

main. However, the [Auto Delete Temporary Print Jobs] or [Auto Delete Stored Print Jobs] settings are applied first.

❒ If the application has a collate option, make sure it is not selected before send-
