1. License

Under this license, you may use the Programs only with the device on which they are installed and transfer possession of the Programs
and the device to another party.

If you transfer the Programs, you must transfer a copy of this license and any other documentation to the other party. Your license is

This allows the 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

Page button to call up SNMP trap notification from the network interface
card homepage.

1.6.4 Host Buffer

Host buffer is the shared memory area in the printer’s main memory that
temporarily stores print data sent from the host computer for each
interface. The printer has three host buffers—buffer #1, buffer #2 and
buffer #3—to simultaneously handle the print data on three interfaces. The
way the host buffers receive data can be changed by selecting Host buffer
mode as described below. The size shared for the host buffers can be
adjusted by changing the value for Host buffer size.

When Host buffer mode is set to Fix, buffer #1 only stores data arriving at
the parallel interface; buffer #2 only stores data arriving at the option
interface (if installed); and buffer #3 only stores data arriving at the USB
interface. The default setting is Fix. When Host buffer mode is set to Auto,
the print data arriving from the computer is stored in whichever of the
three buffers is empty. As data begins arriving at the other interface, it is
stored in the other host buffer.

The size of each host buffer can be changed by using Host buffer size. The
factory setting is 500 kB for the total size of the three buffers and can be
changed using the PRESCRIBE FRPO H8 command (See the

Programming Manual

Programming ManualProgramming Manual

Programming Manual

on the CD-ROM for details). The total host buffer

size can be between 5 kB and the printer’s free memory size.

1

Click the MENU button on the start-up screen.

The Menu dialog box is displayed. Select and double click Memory,
then click Host buffer mode. Using the radio buttons on the right,

the host buffer size directly in the number field.

4

Turn the printer’s power off and on again. The setting becomes
effective when you restart the printer.

We recommend that you leave the default settings for Host buffer mode
and Host buffer size unchanged.

1.6.7 Sending PRESCRIBE Commands to the Printer

When the printer is connected to a network (TCP/IP), you can send Kyocera
Mita’s PRESCRIBE printer language by broadcasting (Broadcast). You can
also use this menu to confirm and change the printer’s internal settings,
when either in local or network connection (FRPO).

For details on PRESCRIBE commands and FRPO settings, refer to the

Programming Manual provided on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

To send PRESCRIBE commands to the printer in network (TCP/IP)
connection, enter the command in the Broadcast text box. The maximum
length for a command sequence is 256 characters. Then click the SEND
button to send the command to the printer.

FRPO

FRPO is a PRESCRIBE command that permanently changes the printer’s
internal parameters. Each parameter is represented by two letters, such as
R4 for default paper source, succeeded by FRPO, then followed by a value.
For e xample, FRPO R4, 1; means that the default paper source (R4) is the
printer’s cassette (1).

2.3.3 Advanced Media Settings

Making the Advanced Media settings allows you to activate the following
advanced printer functions.

• Cover mode: Adds the front cover and/or the back cover to the

document.

• Page insert: Inserts a blank or printed page before any page(s) of the

document.

• Transparency interleaving: Inserts a blank or printed page between the

transparencies to be printed.

These functions are explained on the following pages.

To use this feature, you need to change the MP tray mode from the first
mode (default) to the cassette mode. To change the MP tray’s first mode
setting, send the PRESCRIBE FRPO T0 command (!R! FRPO T0, 0;
EXIT;) to the printer from the Remote Operation Panel (section 1.6.7

Sending PRESCRIBE Commands to the Printer on page 1-53). For FRPO

commands, refer to the Programming Manual on the CD-ROM supplied
with the printer.

Cover Mode

In the Cover mode, the first cover page, or the first and back cover pages of
a document will be added to the document using the different paper from
the paper used for the body of the document. The rest of the document will
be printed on the paper specified in the Media tab. This will allow you to
add the covers of the document using special paper, for example thick
paper or colored paper, so that the printed document looks more
professional.

You can also print the first page of the document on the front cover by
checking Print Outside Cover.

Cover Mode can be used with Page Insert but not with Transparency
Interleaving.

operation. The instruction sheet to be printed will vary depending on the
binding options you have selected; Flip on Long Edge or Flip on Short
Edge.

You can use long-edge or short-edge binding combined with either
