Before Using the Printer Driver
1 Before Using the Printer Driver
1.1 Features 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.
1
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.

1.6 Settings 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.
G 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.
G 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.

Displaying Printer Driver Properties
When you install a printer driver, it is pre-configured with the most
commonly applicable settings, so you may very well be able to use the
default settings as they are. However, you can modify the printer driver
settings to suit your particular needs.
There are two different ways to display a Properties dialog box. The
contents of a particular dialog box differ slightly depending on how you
access it. Select the appropriate one according to your need.
