Copier Control Panel Operations (PC Print Mode)

[PRINT] Indicator

The [PRINT] indicator shows the current status of PC printing.

[PRINT] Indicator Description

Blinking • Copier is receiving print data, even while in

another mode.

• A printer error has occurred (indicated by
“PRN Err” on the display).

On • Copier is printing print data. The indicator

remains lit (without blinking) even if data is
being received while printing is in progress.

Off • No print data in copier memory.

Entering and Exiting the PC Print Mode

As a general rule, the copier automatically switches to the PC print mode
(indicated by “PC:PRN” appearing on the copier’s display) and starts
printing whenever a print operation is executed from the connected
computer. The following are the rules that govern switching to or from the
PC print mode.

G Normally, executing a print operation on the connected computer

causes the copier to enter the PC print mode.

G If the copier is in the copy mode when a print operation is executed on

the connected computer, it switches to PC print mode if no operation
is performed in the copy mode for 30 seconds. This copier can receive
print data 30 seconds after it has completed its last copy operation.

G If there is print data in the copier

memory, the PC print mode screen
appears when the [PRINT] key is
pressed. If there is no print data in
the copier memory, the PC print
mode screen will not appear even if
the [PRINT] key is pressed.

G When the PC print mode screen is

displayed, press the [PRINT],
[SCAN], or [COPY] key to exit the PC print mode screen.

G After printing is finished, the copier automatically switches to the copy

mode.

Using the Bypass Tray

Use the procedure described below to print onto paper that is fed (one
sheet at a time) from the bypass tray.

1 On your computer, display the “Setup” tab of the printer driver, and

then specify “Bypass” for the Paper Source setting (page 4-9).

2 Execute the print operation from your computer.

3 When the message “LOAD PAPER”

appears on the copier’s display,
load paper onto the bypass tray.

❍ This causes the print operation

to be performed using the paper
from the bypass tray.

4 Repeat step 3 as many times as necessary until printing of the

document is complete.

5

✎

Note

Be sure to execute the print operation from the computer first, and then
place the paper onto the bypass tray. If there is already paper on the
bypass tray when you execute the print operation, remove it, wait for
the message “LOAD PAPER” to appear, and then place it again onto
the bypass tray.

Load the paper into the manual bypass tray one sheet at a time.

If the multiple bypass tray (optional) is installed, it can used in the
same way as any other paper tray since the multiple bypass tray can
hold 100 sheets of paper.

The multiple bypass tray can be loaded with a maximum of 10
envelopes, 20 OHP transparencies, 20 postcards, 20 label sheets, or
100 sheets of plain paper.
