Prohibit notice page printing

This program is used to disable notice page printing.
Normally this program is set to not print a notice page.

Print density level

This program is used to adjust the lightness or darkness of prints.
Five levels are provided for density adjustment. These are repre-

sented by numbers displayed on the touch panel. Among the dis­played numbers, a smaller value indicates lighter density and a
larger value indicates a darker density.

custom settings cannot be printed.

A4/letter size auto change

If this program is set, and printing onto 8-1/2" x 11" size paper is
selected but not available, the printer will automatically substitute
A4 size paper in place of 8-1/2" x 11" paper if A4 paper is avail­able.

∗ 8-1/2" x 11" paper cannot be automatically selected in place of

A4.

NOTE: When 8-1/2" x 11" size is specified for a document

attached to an E-mail that has been transmitted from a
foreign country and A4 size paper is not installed in the
printer, printing cannot be done without operator
intervention. If this program is set, printing will be
executed without intervention if a paper tray is loaded with
A4 paper.

These programs are used to control data transmitted to the paral­lel port, USB port or network port of this printer.

Hexadecimal dump mode

This program is used to output the print data from a computer in
the hexadecimal dump format with corresponding characters
(ASCII). This program is used to check proper transmission of
print data from the computer to the printer.

Output example of hexadecimal dump mode

I/O timeout

This program is used to set the length of time to wait for an I/O to
complete a job on the parallel port or the network port. If the data
stream to the port does not transmit data for a length of time
exceeding the timeout, the job will cancel and the next job will start
processing.

The I/O timeout setting is used to set the amount of time after
which an I/O timeout will occur when waiting for print data.

Default setting: 20 seconds
NOTE: The allowable range of the time is 1 to 999 seconds.

Enable parallel port

This program is used to enable or disable printing from the parallel
port.

Default setting: Enable

5-1 Service Manual Y105610-1

Parallel port emulation switching

This program is used to specify a printer language to emulate when
the printer is connected to a computer through the parallel port.

Setting items Description

Auto The printer language will switch automatically in

accordance with the data from the computer.

PostScript PostScript emulation is used to print the data

from the computer. (An optional PS3 expansion
kit is needed.)

PCL PCL emulation is used to print the data from the

computer.

NOTE: It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting) unless

an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

Enable USB port

This program is used to enable or disable printing from the USB
port.

Default setting: Enable

USB port emulation switching

If the machine is connected using the USB port, select the emu­lated printer language.

The setting items are the same as those of "Parallel port emulation
switching".

NOTE: It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting) unless

an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

Enable network port

This program is used to enable or disable printing from the net­work port.

Default setting: Enable

Network port emulation switching

This program is used to specify a printer language to emulate
when the printer is connected to a computer through the network
port.

The setting items are the same as those of "Parallel port emulation
switching".

NOTE: It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting) unless

an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

Port switching method

The machine can use the three ports shown below for printing.
This program is used to select when switching between ports will
take place. "SWITCH AT END OF JOB" or "SWITCH AFTER I/O
TIMEOUT" can be selected. When "SWITCH AT END OF JOB" is
selected, the port will be automatically selected after each print job
is completed. When "SWITCH AFTER I/O TIMEOUT" is selected,
the port will be automatically selected if the time set in the I/O Tim­eout program elapses.

• Parallel port

• USB port

• Network port

Parallel port ECP setting

This is used to enable bi-directional communication through the Cen­tronix interface.

Select "Parallel port ECP setting" to enable data transmission both
from the computer to the printer and from the printer to the computer.

Normally ECP mode is not selected.

B. Network settings

These programs are set when this product is used as a network
printer.

After you complete the setting for one program, you must exit the
key operator programs, turn off the main switch, wait briefly, and
then turn on the main switch again before any other programs can
be set. The program that was set will be effective after the power
is turned on.

NOTE: For setting and modification of "Network settings", be sure

to consult with the network administrator.

IP address setting

When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP proto­col, use this program to set the IP address (IP address, IP subnet
mask, and IP gateway) of this product. The program is set to
ENABLE DHCP by factory default setting, which obtains the IP
address setting automatically. When using this product on a TCP/
IP network, be sure to turn on the "Enable TCP/IP" program
below.

If DHCP is used, the IP address assigned to the machine may
be changed automatically on occasion.
If this happens, printing will not be possible.

Enable TCP/IP

When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP proto­col, set this program. Also set the IP address using the program
"IP address setting" above.

Default setting: Enable

Enable NetWare

When using this product in a network that uses the NetWare proto­col, set this program.

Default setting: Enable

Enable EtherTalk

When using this product in a network that uses the EtherTalk pro­tocol, set this program.

Default setting: Enable

Enable NetBEUI

When using this product in a network that uses the NetBEUI proto­col, set this program.

Default setting: Enable

Reset the NIC

This program is used to reset all setting items of NIC (Network
Interface Card) of this product to the factory default settings.

NOTE: If any of the [NETWORK SETTINGS] were changed prior

to execution of this program, you must turn off the power
switch after exiting the key operator program, wait briefly,
and then turn on the power switch to make the factory
default settings take effect.

Tandem setting

This setting is used to configure the IP address and port number of
the client printer when you wish to have two machines (which are
used as TCP/IP network printers) print in tandem.

Tandem printing is not possible if the other machine is a different
model than your machine.

The factory default setting for the port number is [50001]. Unless
you experience difficulty with this setting, it does not need to be
changed.

The tandem function can also be prohibited, or the reception of
tandem data from the other machine can be prohibited. (Normally
this is not necessary.)

To prohibit the tandem function, select "DISABLING OF MASTER
MACHINE MODE".

To prohibit reception of tandem data from the other machine,
select "DISABLING OF SLAVE MACHINE MODE".

NOTE: To use the tandem function when auditing mode is

enabled, the same account number must be entered on
both machines. If the same account number is not
entered, only the server machine may print or the printed
pages may not be added to the correct account.

PING command

This program is used to check if the machine and a computer con­nected to the network can communicate.

Enter the IP address of the computer that you wish to check and
touch the [START] key. A message will appear indicating whether
or not there was a response from the computer.
