Printer Menu

When you select Printer from the Main Menu, this screen is displayed. You use the Printer Menu to gain access to the printing options described below. See Tab le 2-3

beginning on page 2-14 for the complete Printer Menu structure.

Paper Source Options

Default Paper Source

Use this when the paper source is not designated by a host command. If a command from the host defines the paper source, the OCP setting is ignored.

Paper Size

When Paper Size is selected the paper size of the currently selected paper source is displayed. To use the OCP to set the paper size to something other than the predetermined sizes in the paper tray, set the sensor plate in the paper tray to “ then select Paper Size on the OCP.

Paper Type

When Paper type is selected the currently selected paper type is displayed. Press the option buttons to select the desired paper type. See Table 2-3 beginning on

page 2-14 for a list of paper type options.

Paper Color

When Paper Color is selected the currently selected paper color is displayed. Press the option buttons to select the desired paper color. Table 2-3 beginning on

page 2-14 for a list of paper color options.

Paper Weight

When Paper Weight is selected the currently selected paper weight is displayed. Press the option buttons to set the desired paper weight. See Table 2-3 beginning

The adjustment can be set to millimeters or inches and the range is -6.3 to +6.3 millimeters (-0.25 to +0.25 inches) in increments of 0.1 millimeter (0.01 inch). Difference positions can be set for front and back side in duplex printing mode.

”,

Operator Control Panel 2-11

Color Control This function is used when necessary to reduce the image size on the printed page

due to paper shrinkage during printing. It uses the set-up value to reduce the printed image. For the front engine the reduction of the image for the horizontal direction can be 0%, 0.12%, 0.24%, 0.36% or 0.48%. For the rear engine the reduction of the image for the horizontal direction can be 0.12%, 0.24%, 0.36%,

0.48% and 0.60%. For both the front and rear engine the reduction of the image for the vertical direction can be from 0 to 1.00% in increments of 0.01%.

Before this function is used, the print position must be adjusted vertically and horizontally. Refer to Setting the Tray Adjust values for adjustment of print position.

The screen display is based on whether the print mode is simplex or duplex. In the case of simplex mode, the reduction value is fixed at 0% for the front side

in the front engine because the paper does not shrink. The value needs to be set for the front side of the rear engine only.

In the case of duplex printing when the paper length is 9 in. or less, the printing sequence is as follows: Front side/front engine > back side/front engine > front side/rear engine > back side/rear engine. Therefore, the reduction value should be set at 0% for front side/front engine > X% for back side/front engine > X% for front side/rear engine > X% for back side/rear engine.

In the case of duplex printing when the paper length is over 9 in. (Letter SEF, A4 SEF, etc.), the printing sequence is as follows: Back side/front engine > front side/ front engine > back side/rear engine > front side/rear engine. Therefore, the reduction value should be set at 0% back side/front engine > X% front side/front engine > X% front side/rear engine > X% back side/rear engine.

NOTE:

If the paper size or direction is changed, the image may not be printed correctly. Reset the reduction value.

The cross pattern can be test printed from this menu. Factory default settings are shown below:

Table 2-2. Color Control Settings

Mode Engine/Side Value

Simplex Front Engine/Front Side 0%

Rear Engine/Front Side 0.12%

Duplex Front Engine/Front Side 0%

Front Engine/Back Side 0% Rear Engine/Front Side 0.12% Rear Engine/Back Side 0.12%

Often, the status of an item is indicated with a colored button or graphic. Three colors are used throughout the Web Utilities to graphically display the status of various items.

Green indicates a normal condition.

Yellow indicates a warning condition (e.g., low paper, low toner, consumable near end of life).

Red indicates an obstacle to printing, such as an empty condition, consumable at end of life, paper jam, or door open.

Access and Security

Not all Web Utilities are available to every type of user. Access to certain utilities is limited by a password. Passwords provide security to the System and Service areas of the system. The Web Utilities provide three levels of access: Status, System, and Service, which are described below.

Status Access

Access to the Status area of the system does not require a password. It allows the user to view all Status options and print Status, Summary, Demo, and font reports.

System Access

System access requires a password and enables the user to perform System functions. System functions include modifying the printer configuration, displaying all jobs in the system, and changing the system password. All useraccessible items are available as well.

Service Access

Service access requires a password and enables unrestricted access to the system. Service access allows you to display and modify the system configuration, counters, license keycode, and both system and service passwords. All user- and system-accessible items are available as well.

NOTES:

It is the responsibility of the servicing dealer and/or system administrator to set and secure passwords in the Web Utilities.

To access the System area, enter the User Name system. To access the Service area, enter the User Name service. The default password for both areas is blank and should be changed when the printer is installed.
