1. Features of the Printer Controller

Features of the Printer Controller

The printer controller is an image controller designed to use the machine as a printer, allowing you to print documents directly to the machine from a computer to which the printer controller is connected. The printer driver, which is used during printing, is equipped with various functions that make the most out of the features of the machine. They enable you to use the same functions as those offered by the machine. When actually running a print cycle, you can specify various functions of the machine on your computer screen.

NOTE

• When using the printer controller, be sure to set the machine in the On Line state.

• Some functions offered by the machine cannot be combined, such as Staple and Hole-Punch, and others may not be used beca us e of a paper size i nvo l ved. Th e functions that cannot be s el ected ei t her appear dimmed or appended with a

4. Settings Made on the Machine

The following functions must be set on the machine using its Ut ility Mode, as they relate to the printer controller.

Priority Device

Select the priority of use of the machine, either as a copier or printer.

Copier: The machine is used as a copier.

The machine starts the print cycle only after it has received the entire data of a particular print job. The machine can be used for copying, since it starts printing only after it has received the entire data of the job for printing. This means that more time is available to you for copying, but you have to wait for a longer time before a particular print job is done.

Printer: The machine is used as a printer.

Before Using the Printer Controller Chapter 1

The machine starts the print cycle before it completes receiving the entire data of a particular print job. On receiving the data for one page, the machine starts printing, accepting no other job for copying. This means that less time is available to you for copying, but you do not have to wait long before a particular print job is done.

On Line

This function is the same as that available in ordinary printers as On Line/Off Line. Select On Line normally.

Test Print

The following six types of test print will be output wh en a test print is run from the machine:

Making General Settings Before Using the Printer

The printer driver requires setting of items that are common to all print jobs, including the port to which the printer cable is connected an d optional devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made using property sheets available from the Properties command after the printer driver has been installed or when the operating environment is changed.

The most common settings have already been made when the printer driver is installed, meaning that you do not usually bother to change them. Some items must, however, be changed in the following cases.

Cases where changes are necessary

You want to add a comment to distinguish the

•

printer from others

The computer’s connecting port has been

Displaying a Property Sheet

You have two different steps to take to display a property sheet. The contents of a particular property sheet slightly differ depending on how you access it. Select the appropriate one according to your need.

(1) To display a property sheet from the printer folder (2) To display a property sheet from an application menu Below are the detailed procedures for each approach.

Displaying a Property Sheet from the Printer Folder

1. Click the [Start] button and select “Settings.” Then, click “Printers.”

2. Click the icon of “ Digital Copier 35cpm PCL5e.”

3. Select “Properties” from the menu that will appear. This shows the property sheet.

This method is mainly used when there will be no big changes in the settings once made, such as [Device Option]. It allows you to set the environment in which you will use the printer. The settings made through this method are valid in all applications.

Installing the Printer Driver Chapter 2

Displaying a Property Sheet from an Application Menu

1. Select [Print...] from the [File] menu of the application.

2. Check that the “Name” of the “Printer” is “Digital Copier 35cpm PCL5e.” If “Digital Copier 35cpm PCL5e” is not selected, click [ ▼ ] and, from the menu that will then appear, select “Digital Copier 35cpm PCL5e”

3. Click the [Properties] button. This shows the property sheet.

This method allows you to set the number of copies and paper for each document. The settings made on the property sheet accessed through the application are valid only for that particular application.

TIP

To show a property sheet other than Paper, click the corresponding tab located on the top part of the screen.
