Before Using the Printer Driver	1

1 Before Using the Printer Driver

1.1Features of the Controller and Printer Driver

The controller is an image controller that makes it possible to use the machine as a printer. It makes it possible for you to print documents directly to the machine from a computer that is connected to the controller.

The printer driver is includes various functions that make it possible to get the most out of the features of the machine. You can use the print driver to configure the settings of various machine functions on your computer screen.

Note

Make sure that the machine is On Line when you are using the controller.

Some functions of the machine, such as stapling and hole punching, cannot be used in combination. Other functions may not be available when printing on certain paper sizes. Any functions that are not currently disabled appear dimmed on the printer driver dialog box.

Specifying functions that are not compatible with each other will display the Conflicts dialog box, which prompts you to change the settings. If this happens, check your settings and configure them so they are compatible.

Sometimes, the printer driver will allow you combine functions that are not allowed by the machine. Executing the print command while an illegal combination of machine functions is selected will cause the machine to produce incorrect output, or to print nothing. Always take care to configure settings correctly.

1.6Settings Made on the Machine

The following functions must be configured using the machine's Utility Mode (Utility — User Set — User’s Choice — 6/6 — Priority Device).

Priority Device

Specify either copier or printer as the priority function of the machine.

Copier: This setting specifies that the machine is used mainly as a copier. With this setting, the machine starts the print cycle only after it has received the all of data of a particular print job. The machine can be used for copying while it is receiving data, since it starts printing only after it has received all the data of the print job. With this setting, more time is available for copying, but print jobs take longer to print.

Printer: This setting specifies that the machine is used mainly as a printer. With this setting, the machine starts printing as soon as it receives the data for one page of the print job. Once it starts printing, the machine will not accept any copy job. With this setting, less time is available for copying, but print jobs are performed more quickly.
