2. Using the Document Server

Accessing the Document Server

The Document Server enables you to store documents on the machine's hard disk to edit and print as you want.
Limitation
Applications, like PageMaker, which use original drivers do not work with
this function.
Reference
For more information about Document Server functions, see
For information about how to access to Document Server from a client, see the printer driver Help.
Note
When you use the Document Server, the following functions can be selected
using the machine's control panel:
General Settings Guide
.
Copies
Collate
Duplex
Staple
Punch
Paper selection: Paper source tray, paper type, paper output tray.
Functions related to paper selection: Cover sheets, slip sheets, chaptering.
The above items are dimmed, so you cannot set them from the [Printer Proper-
ties] dialog box when the Document Server is selected.
You must enter a user ID using up to eight alphanumeric characters.
You should enter Password and File Name to distinguish the job from others.
Up to 3,000 files can be stored in the Document Server. No new files can be
stored once 3,000 files are stored. Even if less than 3,000 files are stored, new files cannot be stored when
a file to be stored contains more than 1,000 pages,
the total number of pages contained in files stored exceeds 9,000,
the hard disk is full.
The Document Server also stores files that scanned using the Automatic Doc-
ument Feeder (ADF) or exposure glass. You should delete unnecessary stored files once in a while so as not to exceed the capacity of the hard disk. For how to delete stored files, see General Settings Guide.
When using the hard disk for functions other than Document Server func-
tions, you may be unable to store new files in the Document Server even if there are less than 3,000 files stored.

3. Sample Print/Locked Print

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 cancelled using the machine's control panel. This can help in avoiding large amounts of misprints due to mistakes in the content or in the print settings.
Note
If the application has a collate op-
tion, make sure that it is not select­ed before sending a print job. By default, sample print jobs are auto­matically collated by the printer driver. If a collate option is select­ed from the application print dia­log box, more prints than intended may be printed.
You can identify the file you want
to print by the user ID and date and time when the job was stored.
The number of pages the machine
can save depends on the contents of the print image. For example, the machine can save up to 30 jobs or 1,000 pages, including locked print files, depending on data vol­ume.
If the first set of the sample print
files is not as you expected and you do not want to print remaining sets, delete the sample print file us­ing the display panel. If you print the remaining sets of the sample print file, the job in the machine is deleted automatically.

Printing a Sample Print File

The following procedure describes how to print a sample print file with the PCL 6/5e printer driver. For in­formation about how to print a sam­ple print file with the PostScript 3 printer driver, see PostScript 3 Unit
Type 2045 Operating Instructions Sup­plement included as a PDF file on the
CD-ROM.
Limitation
Applications, like PageMaker, that
use their own drivers, do not work with this function.

function cannot be used.

tion, make sure that it is not select­ed before sending a print job. Locked print jobs are automatical­ly collated by the printer driver as default. If a collate option is select­ed from the application print dia­log box, more sets than intended may be printed.
You can identify the file you want
to print by User ID and date and time when the job was stored.
The number of pages the machine
can save depends on print image content. For example, the machine can save up to 30 jobs or 1,000 pag­es including sample print files, de­pending on data volume.
After the locked print file is print-
ed, the job is automatically deleted.
Turning off the machine's main
power switch deletes the locked print file.

Precaution on stapling

Limitation
Stapling can be done only with the optional finisher installed.
Stapling cannot be done when paper is fed from the bypass tray.
You cannot interrupt the current job with a job for another function requiring
stapling or collating.
Note
When the finisher is installed, and when an output tray that cannot output us-
ing the staple function has been selected, the paper will be output according to System Settings.
If you cannot make staple settings even with the finisher installed, options
may not be set correctly in the printer driver. Correct option settings in the printer driver. For details, see the printer driver Help.
When duplex printing is selected, adjust staple positions to the binding direc-
tion.
When the finisher is being used for another function's job (for example, a copy
job), printing will start after that job ends.
When [Top left slant] or [Top right slant] staple is selected, the machine tries to
print slanted staple. However, if a slanted staple is mechanically impossible, the machine staples horizontally or vertically.
When setting Staple in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate op-
tion is not selected in the print settings of the application. If a collate option is selected in the application, printing will not occur as intended.
Be sure to set paper size and orientation in the printer driver when stapling.
Depending on the software you are using, print settings may not be saved and the printed result may not be as expected.
When printing restarts after removing jammed paper, the printing position
may be different depending on the location of the jam.
If the paper jam occurred in the optional finisher, printing will restart from the top page of the data currently being printed, or from the page where the paper jam occurred.
If the paper jam occurred in the machine, printing will restart from the page where the paper jam occurred.
Even if the paper jam occurred in the machine, the error will not be cleared
unless the cover of the finisher is opened and closed.
48
Staple printing will be cancelled under the following conditions:
If the number of staple jobs exceeds maximum. For information about the maximum number, see “Specification”, General Settings Guide.
If a paper size that cannot be stapled is selected. For information about pa­per sizes that can be stapled, see “Specification”, General Settings Guide.
If a paper type that cannot be stapled is selected. The paper types that can be stapled are plain and recycled. Labels, thick paper and OHP transparencies cannot be stapled.
If positions other than those fixed for stapling are specified.
If there are inconsistencies between the duplex folding direction and the
staple position during duplex printing.
If paper sizes are mixed when a different paper size is specified during a print job.
When staples have run out.
When feeding paper from the bypass tray.
When staples have run out and when Auto Continue has been set, printing
will continue without stapling after the message has been displayed.
Staple
When using the optional booklet finisher to staple 2 at Center, the print job
will be cancelled if the staples run out.
Paper sizes that can be stapled when using the Mixed Size mode are as fol-
lows:

Spool Printing

Spool Printing allows print jobs transferred from a computer to be temporarily stored, and then prints them after they are transferred. This shortens printing time as it maximizes printer efficiency.
Important
During Spool Printing, the hard disk is accessed and the Data-In indicator
blinks. Turning off the computer or machine during Spool Printing can dam­age the hard disk. Also, if the computer or machine is turned off during Spool Printing, spooled jobs will be deleted. Do not turn the power to the computer or machine off during Spool Printing.
Limitation
If data is sent to the machine using other protocols besides LPR, IPP or SMB,
spool printing cannot be performed.
Up to a maximum of 150 jobs at once can be spool printed.
Note
Printing the first page with Spool Printing will be slow.
The computer requires less print processing time, when large amounts of
data are spooled.
Spool jobs stored in the machine can be viewed or deleted using a Web
browser.
----Viewing/Deleting spool jobs in a Web browser
