Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the controller.
This User 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 use the controller. Therefore, first
read this manual carefully and thoroughly, and 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. To prevent possible
hazardous conditions, never attempt to disassemble or alter any pieces
of equipment.
Some of the screens shown in this manual may look different from what
you will see in actual applications.

1Before Using the Printer Driver
1.1Features of the printer driver
This 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 and 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
è 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, 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.
è Some settings that 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: Be sure to make correct settings.

Making general settings before using the printer
The printer driver requires setting items that are common to all print jobs,
including the port to which the printer is connected and any optional
devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made using
tabs available in a Properties dialog box 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, so you do not usually need to change them. Some items must,
however, be changed in the following cases.
Cases where changes are necessaryApplicable tabs
l You want to add a comment to distinguish the printer
from others.
l The connection port has been changed on the
computer.
l You want to change the conditions for the display of a
timeout error.
l 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.)
l The setting is not related to printing.Color Management
l 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.)
