1. Features of the Printer Driver

Features of the Printer Driver
This Printer Driver is an image controller designed to use the machine as a printer,
Chapter 1
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, to enable you to use the same functions as those offered by the machine. When actually running a print cycle, you can specify various functions of the machine on your computer screen.
NOTES
• Some functions offered by the machine cannot be combined, such as Cover Page and OHP Interleaving, and some others may not be possible because of the paper size involved. The functions that cannot be selected appear dimmed. Furthermore, if functions that are incompatible with each other are specified,
Before Using the Printer Driver
the Conflicts dialog box will appear, prompting you to change the settings. When this dialog box appears, check the details and reselect the functio ns to ensure function compatibility.
• Some settings which are refused by the machine because of restricted combinations of different functions can at times be accepted by the printer driver. If a print command is issued from the personal computer with such settings made, the machine will not produce the output correctly: Make sure that you make correct settings.

Making General Settings Before Using the Printer
The printer driver requires setting of items that are common to all print jobs, including the port to which the printer cable is connected and any optional devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made using property sheets available from the Properties comman d after the printer driver has been installed, or whenever the operating environment changes.
The most common settings were made when the printer driver was installed, meaning that you do not usually need to change them. Some items must, however, be changed in the following cases.
Cases where changes are necessary Applicable property sheets
You want to add a comment to distinguish the
printer from others
The computer’s connecting port has been
changed
You want to change the conditions for the
display of a timeout error
You want to designate a port to which the
machine is connected via a network ( this setting must be made on a computer that is connected to the controller via a network)
Th is setting is not related to printing. “Color Management”
You want to share the machine with other
computers connected to the same network (this setting must be made on the computer directly connected to the controller)
You want to change the setting in the “Minolta
