1.3Printer Configuration

This section explains how to set and confirm the printer’s configuration from the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel utility. The value set from the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel utility becomes the printer’s default setting. However, when printing, the printer may automatically switch to another setting, depending on the application software or printer driver settings.

1.3.1Basic Settings for the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel

Before operating the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel, you can change settings for polling, error notification, and whether you want to use the 3D virtual printer to monitor the printer status.

1 Click the SETUP button on the start-up screen.

2	The KM-NET Remote Operation Panel dialog appears. Read the
	following explanations, then make the appropriate settings.

Printer Configuration

Enable Traps (unsolicited notifications)

This allows the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel utility to obtain and display information about the printer, such as the open/closed state of the top cover, that is output automatically by the network interface card in the printer. This requires that the network output of status information by the network interface card be enabled. To do this, click on the Browse NIC Web Page button to call up SNMP trap notification from the network interface card homepage.

Polling

With Polling activated (check box checked), the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel utility logs itself onto the printer and automatically recognizes printer changes at regular intervals. This duration of the interval can be configured by moving the slider with the mouse. The default setting is 5 seconds. Polling must normally be left activated (check box checked).

Error notification

Each of the following functions are activated when the appropriate check box is checked.

Audible Notification

Show on Taskbar

Always on top

These settings allow you to determine the way your computer notifies you of errors:

Audible Notification

A sound is played when an error occurs. Specify the.wav file to be used for the sound by pressing the button on the right and browsing for the folder that contains it.

Show on Taskbar

Error notification is given by displaying an icon on the task bar.

Always on top

Error notification is given by a message that is displayed on top of all other windows that may be currently open on the desktop.

1.4.3Duplex Printing

Duplex Printing System

This printer feeds paper for duplex printing as indicated in the following illustration. This printer feeds paper for duplex printing as indicated in the following illustration. As shown, when making 2-sided [duplex] copies, each sheet of paper is temporarily ejected onto the face-down tray (5), from where it is then refed back (6) into the printer for printing on the reverse side and final ejection onto the face-down tray (12).

Do not touch the paper as it is being transported through this process, as doing so can be the cause of paper jams as well as malfunction of the

printer itself.

The duplex printing mode which lets you automatically print onto both sides of the paper comes standard with this printer. If you do Not want to print on both sides of the paper, select OFF (duplex printing disabled) as the setting for this mode.

The default setting for the duplex printing mode is OFF.

Binding Setups

The term binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types of binding are long-edge binding, in which pages are joined together along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or short-edge binding with either landscape or portrait printing.

Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer provides four types of binding setups. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge, and (4) landscape, short-edge. The figure below shows these binding setups.
