SUPERSCRIPT 4600N SETTINGS

Printer Settings

SuperScript 4600N printer settings give you many ways to customize your print job. There is often more than one place to change the same printer setting. These include

• The SuperScript PostScript 3 and PCL5e printer drivers

• The Operator Panel on your printer

Using the Printer’s Operator Panel

You can use the printer’s Operator Panel to cancel a print job or change settings that are not available in your printer driver. You can view messages on the Operator Panel to help diagnose printing problems. In addition, the printer operator panel allows you to print out font lists and test pages and view the total page count. You can also set the printer’s TCP/ IP address or reconﬁgure network settings. Chapter 5, “The Operator Panel,” provides instructions for using the printer’s operator panel.

Using Printer Drivers

Your printer software includes the PostScript 3 printer drivers for Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS and the PCL 5e printer driver for Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT 4.0. They offer a wide range of features for setting up your print job and printer settings.

Most of these features and settings are described in this chapter. A particular feature may be implemented slightly differently, depending on which driver you are using.

note: If you are unsure about a setting in your printer

driver, be sure to use the driver’s Online Help feature. Chapter 4, “Printer Drivers,” provides complete information about using your printer driver software.

When to Use the PostScript 3 or PCL5e Printer Driver

Use the PostScript 3 driver for color documents and documents that contain many complex graphic images or extensive page layout formatting. The PostScript driver has more options and delivers better graphic processing.

Use the PCL5e driver for monochrome documents that

contain mostly text and limited formatting. The PCL5e driver processes this type of document quickly.

note: For color printing, you must use the PostScript 3

printer driver for your system. The PCL5e printer driver is for monochrome printing only.

POSTSCRIPT 3 FEATURES

These are general descriptions of settings available in the PostScript 3 printer drivers. The interface of the printer driver depends on the operating system you use. Not all settings are available for all drivers, or they may appear on different tabs in the printer driver. All printer drivers have Online Help available at the click of a button, with more information about speciﬁc settings. Chapter 4, “Printer Drivers,” shows the PostScript printer drivers and explains how to use them.

Color Processing

Color Control

Use these settings to deﬁne color in your print job. Color Photo: Produces smooth color images, for the best

reproduction of photographic images. Color Business Graphics: Produces bright, solid colors,

suitable for presentation graphics, charts, and posters. Color T ransparency: Use this for the best results when

printing color presentations on overhead transparency ﬁlm. Grayscale: Converts all colors in the document to black and

shades of gray for monochrome printing. Unadjusted: Does not apply any of the special color control

features.

Image Color Matching

This feature is available for advanced users (except for Windows NT). During the PostScript 3 for Windows 95/98 driver installation from the SuperScript 4600N CD using the Network Client/Custom Install feature, you have the option of installing a driver using Microsoft Image Color Matching (ICM) technology or a driver using NEC’s color matching method. The driver using NEC’s color matching method is the default and recommended driver.

6 SuperScript 4600N — User’s Guide

The ICM based driver calibrates the colors with those actually seen on the print client’s monitor. The NEC based driver calibrates the colors with those described by the NEC Color Table located inside the printer.

Advanced Features

Advanced features allow you to have more control over your print jobs. They can be accessed from the NEC features tab of the PostScript driver or from the Advanced features button on your printer’s home page. For more details about these unique features see Chapter 6 of this user’s guide.

Collation

Use the collation feature to print multiple, sorted copies of your print job.

Job Hold

Through job hold you can store a document on the printer’s hard drive and release it through the Operator Panel later. This feature is most useful when you want to ensure conﬁdentiality in a networked environment.

Job Preview and Job Reprint

With these features, the printer’s hard disk stores your document indeﬁnitely. Job preview lets you preview the ﬁrst copy of a document before printing out more copies. Job reprint holds your job for release at a later time.

Banner Page

Banner pages are used to identify and separate print jobs. They contain information about your print job and are especially useful in a network environment.

Color Scanning

An optional color scanner can attach to the printer’s SCSI interface and provide convenient color copies. Scanned images can be saved in JPEG format and accessed across the company network or Internet.

Zip Drive Attachment

You can print certain ﬁles directly from a SCSI attached Iomega Zip® drive—without the use of a PC. You can search for ﬁles on the Zip drive by using the printer’s Operator Panel.

Watermarks

A watermark is text that appears on pages in your print job, such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL. Use these settings to apply watermarks to your print job, create new watermarks, or modify existing watermarks. A preview area shows how the watermark will appear. You can also specify whether the watermark appears in the foreground or background, and on which pages it appears. This feature is not available for Windows NT.

Paper Handling

Layout

Use this feature to print multiple page images on the printed page, including 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 16. This gives you the ability to print pamphlets, storyboards, or thumbnail layouts. You can also print a border around the page image (except for 1 page only).

Unprintable Ar ea

Use this setting to specify the area on the edge of the paper that cannot be printed on. This setting overrides margins set in the application.

Graphics

Resolution

Print resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch (dpi) in an image. The higher the number is, the ﬁner the resolution. Resolution can be set to 600 dpi (the default) or 1200 dpi.

note: 1200 dpi is only available when 80 MB of RAM are

installed in the printer (96 MB of RAM are required for printing legal size paper).

Sharp Edge Technology

Speciﬁes whether or not NEC’s Sharp Edge T echnology (SET) should be used. SET is only available with 600 dpi. It reﬁnes the print quality of characters and line art by smoothing the ﬁne gradations along the edge of the printed image. It is best to turn this feature OFF for color photo images.

Halftoning

If graphic images in your document do not print correctly,

FEATURES

PostScript 3 Features 7

use these settings to adjust screen frequency and angle. For example, use this when screened images show a moiré pattern.

Negative Image

If you select this, black and white values are reversed and RGB colors print as their complements.

Mirror Image

If you select this, pages are “mirrored” on the horizontal axis.

Scaling

You can enlarge or reduce the page image. A value of 100% (the default) means no enlargement or reduction. A value of 50% reduces the page image to half its normal size. A value of 200% doubles the size of the page image.

PostScript Options

There are several settings you can use to customize the way the driver processes print jobs

PostScript Output Format

These settings control the way the driver creates the PostScript language descriptions for page images.

Optimize for Speed: Check this for faster printing. This option may cause a problem for some print jobs if the printer does not have enough memory.

Optimize for Portability-ADSC: Check this to ensure that the document can be printed on any PostScript printer. Documents may take longer to print when this option is selected. This option is useful if the printer has limited memory, because it creates smaller documents.

Encapsulated PostScript (EPS): Use this to print your document as a single-page image that will be incorporated into another ﬁle. You must also select Output to File.

Archive Format: Use this to create a PostScript data stream that gets stored in a ﬁle to be used later.

PostScript Header

You can control whether the driver sends a PostScript header with each document. By default a header proceeds each sent PostScript job. (You will not see this header, it is part of the

PostScript code.) If you are printing to your own local printer and you will only be sending PostScript jobs you can choose to send the header just once. The header is retained and will be used with each job, thus slightly reducing print time.

Error Handling

You can send an error handler with each print job. Then, if an error occurs, the printer prints a page with a message describing the nature of the error. You or a technician can use this information to diagnose the problem.

PostScript Timeout Values

These settings deﬁne timeout periods allowed when the driver communicates with the printer . Enter a value from 0 to 999 seconds (32,767 seconds for NT). When zero is entered, the printer will wait indeﬁnitely. If you printer is shared, do not specify a value of zero.

Job Timeout: This is the maximum number of seconds the printer can take to print a single job. If the print job takes more time to print than the timeout value, the printer may stop printing and prepare to receive a new document.

Wait Timeout: This is the maximum number of seconds the printer will wait for data from the computer. While receiving a print job, the printer driver may pause to build a PostScript language description of each page. For complicated pages, which take longer to build, you may need to set a higher wait time.

Advanced Options

Advanced options allow you to optimize printer performance, but generally should not be changed unless you have speciﬁc reasons to do so. Use the driver Online Help feature for more information on these settings.

Device Options

You can use settings on the Device Options tab to match the attached printer conﬁguration so that the printer driver can generate optimized PostScript code.

Available printer memory

Set this to match the amount of memory you have installed in the printer.

8 SuperScript 4600N — User’s Guide

Available font cache

The driver automatically adjusts the font cache size based on installed memory. Increase this amount for better performance of Type 32 bitmap fonts.

Reserved printer memory

Specify how much memory to reserve for special printer functions, such as macros, Operator Panel settings, etc. The reserved memory is not used for printing.

FEATURES

Installable options

Use this area to change the settings to match the printer’s hardware setup when you add options to the printer, including Tray 2, or more RAM memory.

PCL5E FEATURES

These are general descriptions of settings available in the PCL5e printer drivers. The interface of the printer driver depends on the operating system you use. Not all settings are available for all drivers, or they may appear on different tabs in the printer driver. All printer drivers have Online Help available at the click of a button, with more information about speciﬁc settings. Chapter 4, “Printer Drivers,” shows the PCL5e printer drivers and explains how to use them.

Resolution

Print resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch (dpi) in an image. The higher the number is, the ﬁner the resolution. Resolution can be set to 600 (the default), 300, 150, and 75 dpi. Lower resolutions require less memory and processing time.

Dithering

Select a dithering pattern for converting images from one format to another, for example, for printing color documents in black and white. Dithering, along with the intensity and resolution settings, effect the overall appearance of graphics in printed documents.

Printer memory tracking

Before printing a document, the printer driver calculates how much memory is required to print. If the document requires more memory than is available in the printer, the document is rejected. Use this setting to deﬁne how this calculation is made. A conservative calculation ensures that printer memory is never over-committed. A more aggressive calculation allows the printer to attempt printing a complex document, but memory may be over-exceeded and the print job may not be completed.

Printer Memory

This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the SuperScript 4600N printer and does not need to be adjusted.

Cartridges

This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the SuperScript 4600N printer and does not need to be adjusted.

Halftone Color Adjustment

In the Windows NT driver this is an advanced feature for controlling how color appears in a document and is converted to monochrome when printed.

Intensity

Adjust this setting to control the darkness of graphics in the printed document.

PCL5e Features 9

WORKING WITH FONTS IN

INDOWS

Under most conditions your documents will print out well without any adjustment to font settings in your printer drivers. The Windows printer drivers have settings for specifying how TrueType fonts in your document are matched to PostScript fonts in the printer. You may want to adjust these if your documents take a long time to print or the quality of the font is not satisfactory. Font settings vary slightly on the Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT 4.0 printer drivers.

PostScript 3 Font Settings

Send TrueType fonts to printer according to the font Substitution T able: Instead of downloading all

TrueType fonts to the printer, this selection substitutes PostScript fonts resident in the printer for the TrueType fonts used in the document according to a table you deﬁne.

Using the Substitution Table: The substitution utility allows you to view or edit which fonts in the printer should be substituted for the TrueType fonts in your document. Using resident printer fonts speeds printing.

Always use built-in printer fonts instead of TrueType fonts: Select this and the printer substitutes its closest

matching resident fonts. This speeds printing, but the document may not print out exactly as it appears on the screen

Always use TrueType fonts: Downloads bitmap TrueType fonts to the printer to print the document. This ensures the printed document will look the same as it does on the screen, but it may take longer to print.

PCL5e Font Settings

Download TrueType fonts as outline fonts: TrueType

fonts used in your document are processed by the driver and downloaded to the printer as outline fonts. This provides the quickest printing time, but lowest quality for text output.

Download TrueType fonts as bitmap fonts: TrueType fonts used in your document are processed by the driver and downloaded to the printer as bitmapped fonts. Formatting is very accurate at small point sizes. Printing is faster, but not portable if printing to a ﬁle.

Print T rueT ype T ext as graphics: TrueType fonts used in your document are processed by the driver and downloaded to the printer as graphics. This produces the best text quality, but can slow printing. This is best for documents with several graphics and little or no repeating text.

Install Printer Fonts: Use this to download soft fonts to the printer.

The Update Soft Fonts feature updates the driver to recognize new fonts. Use this if you have added new fonts to your system after you installed the driver.

CONNECTING THE PRINTER

This section tells you how to connect your SuperScript 4600N Series printer to your computer or network.

note: You can be connected to and receive data at the

parallel port and Ethernet port at the same time.

Connecting the 4600N Printer Locally

You can connect to an IBM®-compatible computer using the bidirectional parallel

interface. We recommend an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable that is no more than 6 feet in length. If you use a cable that is longer than 6 feet, it should be certiﬁed as bidirectional. Use the wire clips to fasten the cable to the printer.

Follow these basic steps:

1. Make sure your computer and printer are turned OFF.

2. Plug the parallel cable into the parallel port on your

computer and printer.

3. Turn on your printer, wait until it displays the READY

message, then turn on your computer.

Connecting the 4600N to a Network

With the SuperScript 4600N, you can connect to an Ethernet network. Use a Category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for

10/100Base-T Ethernet. Follow these basic steps to connect the printer and verify that

the NIC is installed and operating properly.

1. Make sure your computer and printer are turned OFF.

2. Connect the network’s twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors to the new network port on your printer. Reattach the power cord to the printer, plug in the printer.

3. Turn on the printer. It may take up to 90 seconds to warm up, and then it prints a Network Settings page with NIC status information. For more details see the “SuperScript

Color Laser Network Guide.”

note: Keep the Network Settings page. You or your

network administrator will need this information when conﬁguring the NIC for your network.
