Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Pi3502 PostScript/Scan Option.
This User’s Manual explains how to run print cycles on the machine, to
which the controller is connected. It also gives precautions that you
should review before attempting to actually use the controller. So, first
read this manual carefully and thoroughly; then, keep it close at hand so
you can refer to it whenever it becomes necessary.
When operating the controller and machine, follow the instructions given
in this manual and in the one for the machine. Do not attempt to touch
any part that is not covered in these manuals. Never attempt to
disassemble or remodel any pieces of equipment, either, to prevent
possible hazardous conditions.
Some of the screens shown in this manual may look different from what
you will view in actual applications.

1.1 Features of the Controller
Features of the Controller
The 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 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. When actually running a print
cycle, you can specify various functions of the machine on your computer
screen.
NOTE
Í
When using the controller, be sure to set the machine to the On Line
state.
Í
Some functions offered by the machine cannot be combined, such as
Staple and Hole-Punch, and others may not be used because of the
paper size involved. The functions that cannot be selected appear
dimmed on the screen or an error message appears when an attempt
is made to select any of them.
Further, if functions that are incompatible with each other are
specified, the Conflicts dialog box will appear, prompting you to
change the settings. When this dialog box appears, check the details
and reselect the functions to ensure function compatibility.

1.4 Settings Made on the Machine
The following functions must be set on the machine using its Utility Mode,
since they relate to the controller.
Priority Device
Select the priority of use of the machine, either as a copier or printer.
l
Copier: The machine is used as a copier.
m
The machine starts the print cycle only after it has received the
entire data of a particular print job.
m
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.
l
Printer: The machine is used as a printer.
m
The machine starts the print cycle before it completes receiving
the entire data of a particular print job.
m
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.
