Features 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

• Some functions offered by the machine cannot be combined, such as Cover

Before Using the Printer Driver

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.

• 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 necessary Applicable tabs

•

You want to add a comment to distinguish the printer
from others.

•

The connection port has be en changed on the

Unable to specify the
exit port

Paper is not fed from
the specified paper
source.

No watermark is
printed.

Unable to print
exactly as set.

No exit port can be speci­fied if the paper size is A6
or Custom Size is specified.

Paper will not be fed from
the specified paper source
if that paper source is
loaded with pap er of a dif­ferent size and orie ntation.

A watermark may not be
printed in gra phics applica­tions.

The paper size, p ap e r orie n ­tation, and other settings
made in the application
take precedence over those
made in the driver.

Check the setting of the paper

Load the paper source with paper
of the appropriate size and in the
appropriate direction.

No watermark can be printed in
this case.

Make correct settings in the
application.

If the problem persists even after these checks have been made, refer to the
documentation for the machine.

3. E.C.M. (E.K.C.)

Account Code

This function can only be accessed by the “key operator” after an 8-digit E.C.M.
master key code is entered. The E.C.M. allows you to monitor all copying activity
by controlling E.C.M. password accounts.
This feature can track copier usage for individual users and/or accounts as well as
limit access to the copier to authorized users. Copy quantity limits for specific
accounts can also be set. Use the E.C.M. Key Operator F o rm provided at the end of
this section to record E.C.M. password information.
The E.C.M. stores up to 1,000 E.C.M. passwords, each of which represents a
separate account that can be used for billing and recordkeeping. The number of
users assigned to each account may depend upon the billing system in operation and
the number of individuals and departments using the copier. When the E.C.M. is
activated, copying can be performed only after a valid E.C.M. password is entered.
Copy quantity and copy limit for each account can be visually confirmed on the
screen.

If E.C.M. needs to be activated on your machine, contact your service
representative.

Appendix

The following E.C.M. settings can be made:

[1] E.C.M. data edit:

Change, add, or delete E.C.M. data and reset the copy count of the individual
account.

[2] E.C.M. all count reset:

Clear the copy count for all accounts.

[3] E.C.M. function setting:

Activate the desired E.C.M. functions and set the machine condition when the copy
limit is reached to stop either immediately or after a job is completed or to only
display a warning message.
