NOTE

> Printing on paper whose setting is different from the paper size or paper

type selected in the printer driver or loading paper into an unsuitable paper tray for printing may lead to paper jams. To ensure printing is correctly done, select the correct paper size, paper type, and paper tray.

> The printed image may fade due to moisture such as water, rain or

vapour. For details, contact service.

USTOM SIZES

In addition to the standard sizes of paper you can al so print on custom size paper from any tray. The custom size paper must meet the following guidelines:

> All Custom sizes must be fed short-edge first. > Paper smaller than 3in by 5in (76.2mm by 127mm) cannot be printed. > Paper larger than 8.5in by 48in (215.9mm by 1219.2mm) cannot be printed from

Tray 1.

> Paper larger than 8.5in by 14in (215.9mm by 355.6mm) cannot be printed from

Trays 2, 3, and 4.

> Paper that is smaller than: 98.4mm (3.875in) x L: 148mm (5.827in) must be placed

in Tray 1.

> Paper that is smaller than 3.5in (88.9mm) x 5.5in (139.7mm) or longer than 14in

(355.6mm) cannot be duplexed or output to the Offset Catch tray.

Print media > 24

Page 25

Insert paper in the tray so the side to be printed is facing up and the short-edge of the paper goes into the printer first.

ONFIGURING CUSTOM SIZES

To print on custom size paper loaded in trays 1 to 4, you must set the paper size on the control panel. Use the Menu to set Auto-Sense OFF and then set Custom Size for the intended tray.

You may also need to set it in the printer driver, depending on the paper size. Use your application software to send data to be printed on the installed custom size paper. See the description of Express Print (see “Express print” on page 32) for an easy way to print on various Custom Sizes.

NOTE When setting the paper size in the printer driver and control panel, be sure to specify the same size as the actual paper used. Setting the wrong size for printing will cause printer failure. This is especially true if you configure a bigger size when using a narrow width paper.

To return to standard paper size settings, select Auto. This printer will automatically detect the size and orientation of the loaded paper.

OADING MEDIA

OADING STANDARD SIZE PAPER

1. Pull the tray out and place it on a flat surface. If installed, remove the lid.

2. If the base plate of the paper tray is raised, push it down.

Print media > 25

Page 26

3. When loading paper longer than A4 size, slide the left and right lock tabs in the paper tray outwards to unlock them.

4. Hold the grip of the paper tray and pull its extendable part to the front until it reaches its maximum.

5. Squeeze the length guide and slide it to the desired paper size (1). Squeeze the right width guide and slide it to the desired paper size (2).

Print media > 26

Page 27

6. Load the paper with the side to be printed facing up and with all four corners aligned.

NOTE

> Do not place paper over the right width guide. > Do not load paper exceeding the maximum fill line or the maximum

capacity allowed.

> Align the right width guide with the paper width correctly. If the right

width guide is not in place, the paper will not be properly fed and this may cause paper jams.

7. Close the lid of the paper tray and push the tray completely into the printer.

NOTE The lid of the tray must be firmly closed. If not, the paper might become misaligned.

8. Depending on the types and sizes of the loaded paper, you need to configure settings on the control panel.

EDIA TYPES

The following table shows different media types for this printer along with the fuser mode and restrictions.

PAPER TYPES FUSER MODE RESTRICTIONS

Plain Normal None Transparency Transparency No duplex

Half speed Pre-Punched Normal None Letter Head Normal None Color Normal None Pre-Printed Normal None Bond Thick1 None Labels Thick1 No Duplex Cardstock Thick2 No Duplex Postcard Thick1 None Envelope Thick3 No Duplex

Print media > 27

Page 28

PAPER TYPES FUSER MODE RESTRICTIONS

Thick1 (106-159 gsm)

Thick2 (160-216 gsm)

Thick3 Thick3 Half Speed Thin Thin None

Thick1 None

Thick2 None

You should set your printer Media Type to Thick1 or any of the other paper types that use Thick1 fuser mode for any paper that is from 106 gsm to 159 gsm. If your paper is 160 gsm to 216 gsm, you should set your printer Media Type to Thick2 or Cardstock. If you do not get satisfactory results using Thick1 or Thick2 on some paper types with rough or uneven surfaces, it is possible you will get improved results using Thick3 because of the lower fuser temperature and slower paper speed.

The fuser temperature progression for different fuser modes is:

> (Lowest Temp) > Transparency > Thin > Thick3 > Normal > Thick1 > Thick2 > (Highest Temp)

Transparencies

Transparencies can be printed from all trays, but they can not be printed on two sides using the Duplex Module. Only use transparencies that are designed to withstand the heat required for laser printing. It is possible to damage your printer by using unsupported transparencies.

NOTE

> Transparencies with white frames or full-color transparencies cannot be

used.

> When printing transparencies, be sure to select transparencies as the

Media Type.

> When setting media type from the control panel, ensure Auto-sense is set

to OFF.

Loading transparencies into the trays:

1. Remove the tray from the printer.

2. Remove all paper from a tray before loading transparencies.

3. Fan the stack of new transparencies before putting them in the tray.

4. Insert the transparencies into the tray.

Place the transparencies in the input tray with the side to be printed facing up. Do not fully load a tray with transparencies. The printer supports loading up to 100 transparencies in a tray. Handle them by the edges with both hands and avoid getting fingerprints and creases on them.

Print media > 28

Page 29

5. Adjust the paper guides to fit the transparencies.

6. Insert the tray firmly into the printer.

7. Using the Control Panel or EWS, select the Transparency Media Type and correct

Media Size for the tray to be used.

8. In the printer driver or the computer application program, select Transparency as the media type you wish to use.

NOTE As output transparencies may stick together, remove the transparencies from the output tray after about 20 sheets, and then fan them to lower their temperature.

Envelopes can be printed from all trays. There are 5 sizes of standard envelopes that can be used. They are COM10, COM9, C5, Monarch, and DL. All other envelope sizes must be specified as custom size. Only use envelopes designed for use in laser printers. The heat from the fuser can melt some adhesives and possibly damage your printer.

Loading envelopes int o the trays:

1. Remove the tray from the printer.

2. Insert the envelopes into the tray.

3. Adjust the paper guides to fit the envelopes.

4. All sizes of envelopes go in all trays with the printing si de up and the “flap side

down”. All envelope sizes except C5 should be placed with the top toward the right side of the printer. C5 envelopes are available i n two configur ations. C5 with t he flap on the long edge must be placed with the flap towa rd the right side of the printer. C5 with the flap on the short edge must be placed with the flap edge feeding into the printer. Do not load more than 15 envelopes in Tray 1 or more than 80 in Trays 2.

5. Insert the tray firmly into the printer.

6. Using the Control Panel or EWS, select the Envelope Media Type and correct Media

Size for the tray to be used.

7. In the printer driver or the computer application program, select Envelope as the paper type you wish to use, and select the size and orientation of the image to be printed.

NOTE

> The reverse side of the envelope cannot be printed. > When setting media type from the control panel, ensure Auto-sense is set

to OFF.

OADING ENVELOPES

Place the envelopes face up in the center of the tray as shown. Make sure to adjust the guides as needed.

ABELS

Labels can be printed from any tray. Use labels that were designed for use in laser printers. Insert the labels into the tray and adjust the guides to fit the sheets. Place the side to be printed facing up and the top of the sheets to be fed into the printer first. Do not load more than 100 label sheets in Tray 1 or more than 290 in Tray 2 – 4, and do not fill any tray above the fill line marked inside the tray.

Use the Control Panel Menu to select the Label Media Type and size for the tray in use. Then use your computer’s application software to print the labels.

NOTE When setting media type from the control panel, ensure Auto-sense is set to OFF.

ROHIBITED MEDIA TYPES AND CONDITIONS

Using the following types of paper might cause paper jams, malfunctions or damage to the printer. Do not use them.

> Full-color transparencies. > Paper exclusively for ink-jet printer use > Paper that is too thick or thin > Paper that has been printed on before (including color printing) > Wrinkled, folded or torn paper > Wet paper > Curled paper > Paper with static electricity > Adhesive paper > Paper with special coatings > Treated colored paper

USABLE PAPER

> Paper using ink that will run at a temperature of 150°C > Thermal paper > Carbon paper > Paper with staples, paper clips, ribbons or tape

Print media > 30

Page 31

> Paper with rough surfaces such as pulp paper, or fibrous paper > If acid paper is used, the characters might appear fuzzy. Replace it with alkaline

paper.

> Labels that do not fully cover the adhesive backing

ONFIGURING TRAY SELECTION

If you display the properties dialogue box of the printer driver and select a paper size and Media Type, and Automatically Select for Paper Source. This printer will be able to automatically detect paper trays loaded with the selected paper type and then among them, select the tray that matches the document. This is known as automatic tray selection.

If there are multiple trays that matc h th os e criteria for automatic tray selection, a tray is selected based on the printer's Tray Priority as set using the printer's web pages.

NOTE

> If there are no input trays that match the automatic tray selection, an

error message prompting for replenishment of paper will be displayed. You can configure the printer not to display this message but to automatically select a nearest or larger paper size of the document for printing.

> When paper runs out during printing, and if Auto Resize is configured in

the Printer Control Panel then a paper tray containing paper of the same size and orientation of the paper used for printing will be selected to continue printing. From the Printer driver select Printer Properties > General > Printing Preferences > Paper Feed Options > Auto Tray Change > Enable.

DVANCED MEDIA CONTROL

Auto tray change

When an input tray runs out of paper, auto tray changing en ables the printer to switch to another available tray that contains the same Media size and type.

Media check

When Media Check is enabled (default): The printer first checks the requested input tray, or the printer’s default tray if one is not

specifically requested, to see if it contains paper loaded that matches the Media Size and Type specified from your computer.

> If the input tray does not contain the requested Media the printer searches other

input trays to find one that has Media matching the requirements. If none is found, the printer stops and asks you to load the requested paper.

The Control Panel will display the fol l o wi ng : “Load Paper” or “Load Paper TrayX” “X” is the tray number where the paper should be loaded.

> If “Load Paper” is the displaye d message, the paper ma y be loaded int o an y tray.

If the paper size being loaded cannot be auto-sensed, then the Control Panel must be used to configure the paper size. After the paper is loaded, the printer will automatically resume printing. If you want to simply continue printing on the default input tray without checking the paper size requested, press the ON Line button to resume printing.

Print media > 31

Page 32

> If “Load Paper TrayX” message is displayed, then loading the requested paper int o

the indicated tray will cause the printer to automatically resume printing. If the paper is loaded into a tray other than the one indicated, then pressing the ON Line button will allow the printer to resume printing if “Auto Tray Change” is enabled.

> When both Auto Resize and Media Check are ON, the paper size requested, via the

driver, will not be enforced because Auto Resize overrides the paper size aspect of Media Check. If you want to enforce a specific paper size, then it is necessary to disable Auto Resize via the Control Panel’s Paper Menu .

Express print

Express Print occurs when Media Check is turned off. If you wish to print on Custom Size paper without setting the Size or Type at the control panel, you can use the driver to turn off Media Check. When in this mode, you can leave the default settings in the printer, and it will assume the paper you pu t in the tray selected in your driver is the correct size and type to match the output from your application. This allows you to switch between paper sizes easily without configuring custom paper sizes at the printer. It is up to the operator to load the desired media into the correct trays.

TORING AND HANDLING MEDIA

Even for suitable papers, poor storage conditions may lead to a change in the paper quality, paper jams, poor print quality and printer breakdown. Take note of the following points when storing paper:

> Store paper at a temperature of 50 to 86°F (10 to 30°C), with a relative humidity of

30 - 65%.

> After opening a ream of paper, use the original cover sheets to wrap up the paper

not used and store it in a cabinet or a location with low humidity.

> Store the paper flat, not on its edge. > Ensure that the paper is stored properly without being bent or curled. > Store the paper in a location not exposed to direct sunlight.

It is important to follow the manufactures orientation instruction.

ENU SETTINGS

The Printer Menu allows you to view and change the printer’s internal settings. This chapter details the various menu settings and the default settings.

USB

DRIVE MENU

NOTE This Menu item will only be found if a USB Flash drive is installed in the Host USB connector on the Control Panel.

The USB Drive menu allows the user to print a selected file from the installed USB Flash Drive. The file selected for printing must be one of the following formats:

> Supported PDF (upto v 1.6) > PCL5, PCL6, FX80 or PostScript > Generic text (e.g. .txt format)

Size of PDF files to be printed is limited by available space in standard user flash memory unless a Compact Flash or Hard Disk option is installed.

To print a PDF file, save the PDF on any USB flash drive in either the root directory or a subdirectory. Plug the flash drive into the Host USB connector on the control panel.

1. Press the ON LINE button before plugging the flash drive into the socket. When the flash drive is recognized by the printer, you will hear a brief tone indicating the flash drive was plugged in.

NOTE If the printer is in power save mode and the USB Flash Drive is plugged in, the printer will not recognise it. The printer must be in Ready to Print state.

2. The printer will then automatically go to the USB Drive menu. Select the Print sub- menu. You will see the list of files on the USB drive.

3. Select the desired file. The BACK button may be used to return from a sub-directory to the parent directory to exit the Print option.

4. The user will be prompted to enter a number of Copies for the print request (the default value is 1). The numeric keypad may be used to change the requested number of copies.

5. Press the ENTER button and the file will be processed for printing. After printing is completed, the printer will return to the Ready to Print state and you may remove the USB flash drive.

RINT JOBS MENU

RINTING ON BANNERS

This printer can print on long paper.

NOTE Banners up to 35.4 inches (900 mm) long must be loaded in tray 1.

Tray 1

> Minimum 3 x 5 inches (76 x 127 mm) > Maximum 8.5 x 35.4 inches (216 to 900 mm)

Trays 2, 3 and 4

> Minimum 3.9 x 5.8 inches (98 x 148 mm)

Loading banner paper in tray1

1. Pull out the tray and place it on a flat surface. Remove the lid (if installed).

2. If the base plate of the paper tray is raised, push it down.

3. Slide the left and right lock tabs in the paper tray outwards to unlock them.

Advanced printing > 54

Page 55

4. Hold the grip of the paper tray and pull its extendable part to the front until it reaches its maximum.

5. Squeeze the right width guide (1) and slide it to the paper width.

6. Load the paper with the side to be printed facing up. Curl up the back end of the

paper so that it will not fall from the tray.

7. Push the paper tray completely into the printer.

ANUAL FEED

Tray 1 can be used for manual feed. You must also set your Printer Properties for manual feed. Tray 1 normally operates in multiple-purpose mode, where multiple sheets can be loaded and printed continuously. In Manual mode, you are prompted to press the Start button for each sheet.

ELECTING NUMBER OF COPIES

You can select the number of copies to print via your Printer Properties. When selecting the number of copies, you should also decide if those copies are collated.

OLLATING COPIES

When printing multiple copies of a job, the output can be automatically collated. When copies are collated, they are printed in groups by the print job, not by the page. If you do not select the collate option, your copies will be printed by page. So, ten page number 1’s will print and then ten page number 2’s will print. Collated jobs will print all pages in sets, pages 1 through 10, until all sets have been printed.The default for Collating is On when there is more than one copy being printed.

Advanced printing > 55

Page 56

SIDED PRINTING

The printer can automatically print on both sides of the paper when the optional Duplex module is installed. With two-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small book.

OVER SHEET

A cover sheet is the first page of the document. The printer enables you to choose a different paper source for the cover sheet than for the rest of the document. You can then use a different stock paper for the first page of the document while sending the document as a single print job. The paper must be the same size as the rest of the document.

DUPLEX

FIT TO

You can scale any page image to fit the paper size being used. This setting is unavailable if you have chosen a Document style of N-Up or Pamphlet.

You can print multiple pages on a single sheet when printing a multi -page document. This can save paper and is handy for draft reviews. You can print one, two, four, six, eight, nine, or sixteen pages per sheet.

You can add room on a page to allow for binding without modifying the document in the authoring application.

If you have a large page image that can not be printed on the available paper sizes, you can printed document in poster printing mode. Poster Print prints the document to the edges of paperweight no border and breaks the document up into multipl e pages. The pages can then be placed together, edge-to-edge, to creat e a large vers ion of t he printed page.

OFFSET

(N-UP)

The Offset Catch Tray can place sheets in alternate positions to separate one print job from another. This is called job offsetting. When selected, the output position changes after the final sheet of the print job is printed. The next job is offset (shifted a bit) t o keep it separate from the previous print job. The Offset Catch Tray must be instal led to use this option. Once installed, this feature is enabled by default.

RINT QUALITY

You can adjust quality settings. These include:

> Resolution: Select 600 dpi for normal printing or 1200 dpi for high quality mode > Toner Save: This prints everything with less print density.

ONT SUBSTITUTION

This feature allows you to substitute TrueType fonts with printer fonts. You can also set the TrueType font output type.

Advanced printing > 56

Page 57

ATERMARK

A Watermark is faded text that appears in the background of all pages or only the first page. The text can indicate items that are draft versions, confidential, or other important marking text. COPY, DRAFT, and CONFIDENTIAL watermarks are provided. You can view these by

clicking on their name in the Watermark Pane of the Watermark Window of the Print Driver. You can edit their settings or the settings of any configured watermark by clicking the Edit button.

IRECT PRINTING OF

You can send a PDF file directly to the printer for printing without using the printer driver. The size of PDF you can print is limited by the amount of available space in the printer's memory. If you are printing large files, you may need to install either a Compact Flash or Hard Disk option.

NOTE You may not be able to print some PDF files directly by the printer due to the way they were created. When this happens, open the PDF files and use the printer driver to print them.

RINTING A

To print PDF files directly, you can send the PDF using any method of file transmission such as DOS Copy or using a utility to send it directly to Port 9100 on a TCP connected printer. You can also use the Oki PC based utility (LPR) for printing PDF files d irectly to the pr inter.

OINTS TO NOTE WHEN SENDING E-MAILS

Security issues

E-mails are sent via the Internet, connecting computers from all over the world. As a result, precaution must be taken relating to security issues such that information is not easily seen or altered by third parties.

Therefore, we recommend that you use methods to ensure that important information is secured. You are also advised not to reveal the e-mail address of this printer to third parties to avoid receiving spam.

Internet provider and e-mail featu res

> In the case where a flat-rate contract with the Internet provider exists and the user

is not always connected to the network, a telephone charge will be incurred every time this printer retrieves data regularly from the mail server.

> Connect the printer to an IP private address. Functionality of this printer is not

guaranteed when it is assigned public IP addresses.

> When receiving e-mails via POP, always apply an exclusive e-mail account for the

printer. Using a common e-mail account shared with other users will result in errors.

> When the internet connection speed is slow, it takes time to receiv e large amount of

data such as images.

> There are also providers that allow reception of e-mails via SMTP. Detailed

adjustments with the provider is required for such cases.

> When setting up the e-mail configuration in an environment where MTA support is

set up in private segments, match the operating configuration.

ARCODE PRINTING

ONT BASED BARCODES

Barcode fonts that are internal to the printer support the following symbologies:

> Code 128 > Code 3 of 9 > Interleaved 2 of 5 UPC/EAN > PostNet

OMPUTATIONAL BARCODES USING

Algorithm generated barcodes are printed by firmware that uses speci al PCL font selection commands.

Computational barcodes can:

> generate any size of barcode > automatically generate checksums > automatically add stop and start characters

PCL5

Computational barcodes can support the following symbologies:

> UPC/EAN > Code 128 > EAN/UCC 128

Advanced printing > 59

Page 60

> PostNet > Interleaved 2 of 5 > Code 39 > Codabar > Code93

INTELLIGENT BARCODING

Unlike some barcode solutions, which merely add fonts to a PC or printer, this firmware actually extends the PCL5 language. Barcode formatting, error detection and checksum calculation are performed by the firmware, reducing the load on the host and the network. Barcodes can be printed in almost any size or rotation, bar width and height. The printing of HRI text is user selectable.

Other features that the user can select are:

> Barcode symbology > Height of the barcode > Rotation of the barcode > HRI select or de-select > HRI placement > Width of bars > Wide to narrow ratio of bars

See “Appendix B” on page 132 for additional information on barcodes.

ETWORK OPERATIONS

This chapter explains the various network protocols available to the user for configuring the printer to their specific network environment. The default network configuration for IP Address Set: Automatic (equivalent to DHCP On).

You may choose to disable Automatic IP Address Set by selecting IP Address Set: Manual

(equivalent to DHCP Off).

ETWORK PROTOCOLS

The printer supports the following protocols:

> IPv4 (TCP/UDP) > IPv6 > IPsec > 802.1x authentication > SSL/TLS > DHCP > DNS > DDNS > WINS > LPD > SNMP v1, v2, v3 > FTP > POP3 > SMTP > HTTP > EtherTalk > Bonjour > Netware > IPX/SPX

ETWORK FEATURES

This section describes some of the advanced networking features in the printer. For further information, see the Network Guide.

FILTERING

The purpose of IP filtering is to limit access to the printer to only those Host computers that have IP addresses within IP ranges predefined on the configuration page. The IP configuration page, accessible from the EWS (when logged in as administrator), has enable and disable parameters. When IP filtering is disabled, all network traffic is allowed.

When IP filtering is enabled and incoming data is from an address that falls within the predefined range, it is allowed to print, if the “Printing” or “Config” checkboxes are checked. If the incoming data does not fall into a predefined range, it is rejected.

In cases where IP ranges overlap but have different permissions (for example, one to print only and another to print and configure), permissions for the overlapping addresses are

Network operations > 66

Page 67

determined by IP Filter priority. Higher priority overrides lower priority permissions. If an administrator IP address is entered, it takes highest priority over any configured IP range.

NOTE The address 0.0.0.0 is not allowed.

IPV6

PROTOCOL SUPPORT

The IPv6 implementation conforms to the following IETF documents:

> RFC 2460: Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification > RFC 2461: Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6) > RFC 2462/4862: IPv6 Stateless Address Auto Configuration > RFC 1981: Path MTU Discovery for IP Version 6 > RFC 2463/4443: Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) > RFC 2710/3810: Multicast Listener > Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2)

IPv6 enabled devices can auto configure their IPv6 address. This happens automatically whenever there is an IPv6 enabled router on the subnet to which the device is connected. The printer unique ID is obtained from the Ethernet MAC address. The router may advertise multiple network prefixes, depending on the network configuration. The Network summary page displays all the above addresses, if they exist. If only the Local Link address (starting with “xFE80...”) is displayed, that is an indication that the link is not connected to a router (gateway). No manual configuration of IPv6 addresses is supported, nor is there support for DHCPv6, and the printer does not register its IPv6 address with DNS.

Upper Level Protocols such as UDP, TCP run with either IPv4 or IPv6. For instance, a print job can be sent to the printer over IPv4 or IPv6. Similarly the EWS or SNMP can be accessed over IPv4 or IPv6. IPv6 and IPv4 coexist independent of each other. They can be Enabled/ Disabled in any combination. They are both enabled by default. In cases where a particular network is configured to run only one IP version, it makes sense to disable the other one (for better resource utilisation).

SNMP

The printer supports SNMP v1, v2, and v3. SNMP can be used to manage any network device. SNMP is a protocol that allows an SNMP manager (the controller) to control an SNMP agent (the controlee) by exchanging SNMP messages. The main purpose of an SNMP message is to control (set) or monitor (get) the parameters in a network device.

In SNMP, a parameter is an instance of a more generic object. For example, an SNMP agent may have several instances of an object. An SNMP manager can set or get the value for each object instance (each parameter).

In an SNMP agent, parameters are arranged in a tree. SNMP u ses an Object Identifier (OID) to specify the exact parameter to set or get in the tree. An OID is a list of numbers separated by periods. An OID is a combination of two values. The first value is the OID of the generic object and the second is the instance value, which specifies the particular instance of the object.

Every SNMP agent has an address book of all its objects, called the MIB or Management Information Base. The MIB provides the name, OID, data type, read/write permissions, and a brief description for each object in an SNMP agent. Armed with information about an object from the MIB, and the instance value, an SNMP manager can send an SNMP message to set or get one of the parameters on an SNMP agent.

Network operations > 67

Page 68

Traps

The printer sends generic traps at power up and online and offline traps. Traps are sent on all printer status changes such as: paper out, cover open, tray missing, and jams. The Trap Host ID must be set via the EWS for traps to be enabled.

Alerts

Support for SNMP alerts is based on Printer MIB (RFC 1759) requirements. All outstanding alerts are logged into the Printer MIB alert table. Whenever critical alert is entered into the table trap is generated to the Host application. Traps are sent only if Trap Host IP address is defined. It can be set through the EWS under the SNMP setup menu.

MBEDDED WEB SERVER

This section explains how to navigate through the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS). The EWS allows you to view or change various printer settings. The changes made via the EWS change the printer settings in the same manner as the Control Panel. To change settings for specific documents, use your Printer Properties options within the driver.

NOTE

> If there is a conflict between settings in the Control Panel, Printing

Preferences, or Embedded Web Server and printer settings set via your application, the application settings supersede any other setting.

> The EWS facility is only available when the printer is connected to the

network.
