11. Network interface.*

12. Duplex unit (when fitted).

13. Rear, face up, 100 sheet stacker.

When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used in conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in the paper path and enables feeding of up to 203g/m² media.

Introduction> 11

HANGING THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE

The default language used by your printer for display messages and for report printing is English. If required, this can be changed to:

German Danish French Dutch Italian Turkish Spanish Portuguese Swedish Polish Russian Greek Finnish Czech Hungarian Norwegian

See the information for changing the language setting contained in the readme.html file on the driver CD.

Introduction> 12

APER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type.

The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75~90g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:

• Arjo Wiggins Conqueror Colour Solutions 90g/m²;

• Colour Copy by Neusiedler.

Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.

Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.

Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.

Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. In particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.

Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process. Suitable types are:

• A very White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or 5161 (Letter);

(Tray 2 only)

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the driver settin gs. (See “Printer Settings in Windows” later in this guide.) When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See “Menu Functions” later in this guide.)

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY

The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up to 203g/m². For very heavy paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the printer is almost straight.

The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm and lengths up to 1200mm (banner printing).

For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper stock between 90g/m² and 128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.

Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and transparencies. Up to 50 sheets of transparencies or 10 envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum stacking depth of 10mm.

Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top edge into the printer. Do not use the duplex (two-sided printing) function.

Paper recommendations> 14

ACE DOWN STACKER

The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 250 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 176g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).

ACE UP STACKER

The face up stacker at the rear of the printer should be opened and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings.

The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 203g/m².

Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than 176g/m².

UPLEX UNIT

This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same range of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper stocks from 75-105g/m².

OADING PAPER

ASSETTE TRAYS

1. Remove the paper tray from the printer.

Fan the paper to be loaded at the edges and in the middle to ensure that all sheets are properly separated, then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush again.

Loading paper> 16

3. Load letter headed paper face down and top edge towards the front of the printer, as shown.

4. Adjust the rear stopper (1) and paper guides (2) to the size of paper being used.

To prevent paper jams:

• Do not leave space between the paper and the guides

and rear stopper.

• Do not overfill the paper tr ay. Capacity depends on the

type of paper stock.

• Do not load dam a ged pa per.

• Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the

same time.

• Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except

as described below for the 2nd tray).

• Close the paper tray gently.

5. If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st (upper) tray, you can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during printing to reload it. However, if printing from the 2nd (lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will cause a paper jam.

Loading paper> 17

6. For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (3) is closed (the paper exits from the top of the printer). Stacking capacity is approximately 250 sheets, depending on paper weight.

7. For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (3) is open and the paper support (4) is extended. Paper is stacked in reverse order and tray capacity is approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.

8. Always use the face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper (card stock etc.).

CAUTION!

Do not open or close the rear paper exit while printing as it may result in a paper jam.

Loading paper> 18

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY

1. Open the multi purpose tray (1).

2. Fold out the paper supports (2).

3. Press gently down on the paper platform (3) to ensure it is latched down.

4. Load the paper and adjust the paper guides (4) to the size of paper being used.

• For single-sided printing on headed paper load the

paper into the multi purpose tray with pre-printed side up and top edge into the printer.

Loading paper> 19

•For two-sided (duplex) printing on headed paper load

the paper with pre-printed side down and top edge away from the printer. (Optional duplex unit must be installed for this function.)

• Envelopes should be loaded face up with top edge to

the left and short edge into the printer. Do not select duplex printing on envelopes.

• Do not exceed the paper capacity of abou t 50 sheets or

10 envelopes. Maximum stacking depth is 10mm.

5. Press the tray latch button (5) inwards to release the paper platform, so that the paper is lifted and gripped in place.

Set the correct paper size for the multi purpose tray in the Media Menu (see “Menu Functions”).

RINTER SETTINGS IN

Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many options. The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as those in the operator panel menus, and you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the operator panel menus.

The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Windows 2000 versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same.

INDOWS

PCL OR P

If you print mainly from general “Office” applications choose one of the PCL drivers. For faster printing of PDF documents, choose PostScript. If you print mainly from professional DTP and graphics applications, choose PostScript.

RINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS

When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a print dialogue box appears. This dialogue usually specifies the name of the printer on which you will print your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties button.

When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a short list of the printer settings available in the driver, which you can choose for this document.

The window which opens when you click Properties depends on which printer driver has been installed. The PostScript driver offers different choices to the PCL driver.

OSTSCRIPT

Printer settings in Windows> 21

OSTSCRIPT EMULATION

1. Page orientation sets

portrait (tall) or landscape (wide) page orientation. The “rotated” rotates the paper through 90

degrees anti-clockwise.

2. When printing double

sided pages (duplex unit required). You can flip the paper either on its long edge or short edge.

3. Pages can be printed in forward or reverse order. If using the face down (top) paper stacker, forward order is usually appropriate to ensure that pages are stacked in numerical order. If using the face up (rear) paper stacker, reverse order would normally stack your pages in numerical order.

4. You can specify how many pages to print on a sheet. Pages will be scaled to fit the number you choose. If you choose booklet printing (requires duplex unit) two pages will automatically be set, and pages will be printed with the correct pages opposite one another so that folding the stacked printout produces a booklet.

5. Advanced options are also available, such as how to download TrueType fonts, and whether advanced options such as booklet printing are available.

The printer driver contains extensive on-line help for these items to help you make the most appropriate choices.

Printer settings in Windows> 22

PCL

EMULATION

When you click the Properties button from your application’s Print dialogue, the driver window opens to allow you to specify your printing preferences for this document.

Paper size should be the same as the page size o f your document (unless you wish to scale the printout

1 2

to fit another size), and should also be the same as the size of paper you will

feed into the printer.

You can choose the source

of the paper to feed, which may be Tray 1 (the standard paper tray), Tray 2 (if you have the optional 2nd paper tray installed) or the multi purpose feeder. You can also click on the appropriate part of the screen graphic to select your preferred tray.

3. A variety of document finishing options can be selected, such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can be any number up to 16) for printing scaled down pages at more than one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints two pages per sheet on each side of the paper so that when folded they make up a booklet. Booklet printing requires the duplex unit to be installed in your printer.

Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over multiple sheets.

4. For two-sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by the long edge or the short edge. Of course, this requires that a duplex unit be installed in your printer.

5. If you have changed some printing preferences before and saved them as a set, you can recall them to avoid having to set them individually each time you need them.

6. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

Printer settings in Windows> 23

ECURE PRINTING

Secure printing allows you to print confidential documents on printers that are shared with other users in a network environment.

The document does not print until a PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered through the Printer Control Panel. You must go to the printer and enter the PIN.

This feature requires the hard disk drive in your printer, this device must be enabled in the printer driver. (See “Setting the driver device options” on page 31)

The secure printing feature is not available for Mac OS X. If there is not enough hard disk space for the spooled data, a

“Disk Full” message displays, and only one copy prints. The secure printing feature may not be available from within

some PC applications. If your application software has a collate print option, turn it off.

TORE TO HARD DISK

This feature allows print jobs to be created on the PC and stored on the printer’s hard disk for printing on demand. This is good for forms, generic memos, letterhead, stationery, etc.

If you use this feature for standard forms, for example, you can walk up to the printer at any time and print off your forms without having to re-send them from the PC.

This feature works in exactly the same way as the secure printing feature described earlier in this Chapter, and is available only in the Windows PostScript and PCL drivers. The difference with job spooling is that the document is not automatically deleted from the printer’s hard disk after printing. It remains there for future use until you delete it from the Printer Control Panel or from your PC with the Storage Device Manager utility.

NOTE:

If this choice does not appear in the driver screens, or if it is greyed out, check to ensure that the hard disk is enabled in the printer driver. (See“Setting the driver device options” on page 31)

Like the secure printing feature, there are three parts in job spooling:

1. Sending the document

2. Printing the document

3. Deleting a stored document

UIDE TO PRINTING

This Chapter provides a convenient on-screen reference to the many features of the driver software supplied with your printer.

HOW TO

ACCESS THE DRIVER SCREENS

Most of the features described are accessed via the printer driver screens. How you access them depends on your computer and its operating system.

INDOWS DRIVERS

The driver windows are tabbed dialogue boxes, offering a wide range choices about how you want to print your documents.

There are two ways to access the driver features from within Windows:

1. Directly from the Windows “Printers” folder (“Printers and Faxes” folder in Windows XP).

If you choose this method any changes you make will become the driver defaults. This means they will remain active for all your applications unless you specifically change them from within the application’s Print dialogue.

2. From your application’s Print dialogue. If you choose this method any changes you make will

usually only last for as long as the particular application is running, or until you change them again. In most cases, once you quit the application the driver defaults will return.

NOTE:

Settings made from the printer’s own control panel are the printer defaults. They determine how your printer will behave unless you specify otherwise from your computer.

The driver defaults override the printer defaults.

Application Print settings override both the printer defaults and the driver defaults.

PCL

SAVED DRIVER SETTINGS

This feature, unique to the Windows PCL drivers, allows you to save the printer driver settings and reuse them later. This could be useful if you frequently print many different types of document that require different printer driver settings.

Recalling saved settings in the PCL drivers is a simple task that must be done first, before any job-specific changes are made. Rather than repeat the procedure throughout this manual, it is described here.

AVING A SET OF DRIVER SETTINGS

1. Make any changes to the driver settings you want, as

described in the relevant section of this manual.

ETTING THE DRIVER DEVICE OPTIONS

This section explains how to ensure that your printer driver can utilize all of the hardware features installed in your printer.

Accessories such as hard disk, duplex unit (two-sided printing), additional paper trays, etc., will only be usable if the printer driver on your computer knows they are there.

In some cases the hardware configuration of your printer is automatically detected when the driver is installed. However, it is advisable to at least check whether all of the available hardware features are listed in the driver.

This procedure is essential if you subsequently add extra hardware features to your printer after the drivers have been installed and set up.

LACK PRINTING (BLACK GENERATION

)

To use Black Generation, Office Colour or Graphic Pro must be the selected Print Mode.

Your printer prints the colour black in one of two ways:

Composite Black or True Black.

OMPOSITE BLACK

The cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners are combined to create composite black.

This will sometimes give a glossier finish, due to the increased amount of toner. It can also sometimes appear as a slightly brownish black.

Use composite black when printing photographs.

RUE (PURE) BLACK

Only black toner is used to print true black.

A Guide to printing> 34

Use True Black when printing a combination of text and graphics. If you use True Black to print photographs, dark sections of the photos may appear black.

OLOUR MATCHING

ASICS

There are three methods by which your document’s colour can be managed and adjusted:

Windows / Macintosh

1. Application Colour Management (1). Some graphics and desktop publishing programs such as

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Quark Xpress have their own built-in colour management systems. See “Printer driver settings for ICC profile creation or no colour matching” on page 71.

Most applications do not have these colour management features and rely instead on the printer or operating system.

2. Operating System Colour Management (2). Windows 2000 and XP have Windows ICM Colour

Management. Mac OS and Mac OS X have Apple ColorSync.

Colour matching> 41

3. Printer Colour Management (3). When you print your document and modify settings in the

printer driver, the printer performs colour adjustments.

NOTE:

Only use one colour management system if you want the best results from your printer.

If you wish to use your printer’s colour management system, ensure that your application or operating system colour management is switched off.

Applying colour management in multiple places will give unpredictable results.

HAT THIS GUIDE DESCRIBES

This Chapter only discusses the printer colour management system.

Windows / Macintosh

If you wish to learn more about your application program or operating system colour management, please see the documentation that was supplied with your application software or computer.

RINTER COLOUR MANAGEMENT

NTRODUCTION

Your printer has two separate colour management systems – Office Colour and Graphic Pro.

Windows / Macintosh

> Office Colour (3a) –“Office colour” on page 45 > This is a simpler colour management system designed for

ease of use. Office Colour is recommended for users who are not experts in colour but want good results when printing from programs such as Microsoft Office.

> Graphic Pro (3b) – “Graphic pro” on page 49

This is a powerful colour management system based on ICC colour profiles.

Profiles can be down loaded to the printer hard disk using a special utility, and then colour matching can be applied to all incoming print jobs.

The Graphic Pro colour management system is recommended for users who are already familiar with ICC profile-based colour matching and require more control over colour.

Colour matching> 43

BOUT

RGB

AND

CMYK

Some application programs give you the choice to create and edit documents using either RGB colour or CMYK colour. Typically, only professional graphics and desktop publishing software support CMYK colour. Most application programs only support RGB colour, for example Microsoft Office programs or web browsers.

If your application program does not give you the choice of RGB or CMYK colour, you should assume that it only supports RGB.

The RGB colour model is based on the three primary colours of light; Red, Green and Blue. This model is used by scanners, digital cameras and computer monitors.

The CMYK colour model is based on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and

Black printer inks or toners.

BOUT THE PRINTER DRIVERS

Depending on your operating system, you may have the choice of different drivers to use with your printer. You may wish to select a printer driver based on whether it supports CMYK data.

FFICE COLOUR

This section describes the features in the printer driver for “Office Colour” printer colour management.

There are two different sets of options in Office Colour:

RGB OPTIONS

Monitor (6500K) – Auto SWOP Monitor (6500K) – Perceptual Euroscale Monitor (6500K) – Vivid Japan Color Monitor (9300K) Digital Camera sRGB

NOTE:

The options for CMYK data are not present in the Windows PCL 5c printer drivers. These printer drivers only support RGB colour data.

CMYK OPTIONS (POSTSCRIPT ONLY)

Although the Office Colour options contain controls for CMYK data, it is strongly recommended that you use the Graphic Pro options instead. If you are printing CMYK data, the Graphic Pro options provide more power and flexibility.

RAPHIC PRO

This section describes the colour matching options available for Graphic Pro.

The Graphic Pro colour matching system is based around ICC profiles. These profiles are down loaded to the printer using the Profile Assistant utility and then selected in the printer driver. When a job is sent to the printer, the ICC profiles are applied to the print job on the printer.

NOTE:

Some features of Graphic Pro colour matching can only be used if your printer is fitted with a hard disk. The printer hard disk is required if you wish to download and use your own ICC profiles to the printer.

The printer’s internal hard disk is an optional accessory for some models.

If your printer does not have a hard disk fitted, you will only be able to select the factory default profiles that are built-in to the printer.

HAT CAN YOU DO WITH GRAPHIC PRO COLOUR MATCHING

The Graphic Pro colour matching system is both powerful and flexible. Here are some examples of how the Graphic Pro colour matching system can be used:

ATCHING PRINTER COLOUR TO AN

NOTE:

Be aware that if the device you are trying to simulate has different colour capabilities from your own printer, exact colour simulation will not be possible. For example, it may be difficult to reproduce the exact colours of an ink jet printer on a toner-based printer.

Additionally, differences in the range of printable colours between different devices can make simulation using RGB source data inaccurate. To achieve best results when simulating the colour output of other printers, you are strongly advised to use CMYK data as a source. See “CMYK ink simulations - CMYK source data” on page 64.

To simulate the output of another printer, you need to download at least 2 profiles to your printer using Profile Assistant:

ENDERING INTENTS

When selecting the Printer Output Profile, if you select any other profile apart from [Auto], you can select the Rendering Intent. The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how colours that fall outside of the printable colours are treated.

Select the rendering intent that best suits the document you are printing.

ERCEPTUAL

This option is recommended for printing photographs. Typically, perceptual rendering desaturates all the colours when

printing. This brings unprintable colours into the printer’s range, whilst keeping the relationships between the colours the same.

ATURATION

This option is recommended for printing business graphics if you want vivid colours. This will not necessarily produce accurate colour, as the emphasis is on maintaining saturation.

Colour matching> 68

ELATIVE COLORIMETRIC

This option is best for printing solid colours and tints. Use Relative Colorimetric when printing from a drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand.

BSOLUTE COLORIMETRIC

This option is recommended if you are proofing images on your printer that are intended for final output on a printing press. This may result in a visible colour cast on your print as it will also try to simulate the paper white of the target device.

Colour matching> 69

URE BLACK TEXT

When your document is printed, often the pure black colours will not be printed using 100% black toner. Instead, these pure black colours are sometimes converted and printed using a mixture of CMYK toner.

Using the Pure Black Text / Graphics feature ensures that 100% black text or graphics in your document is printed using pure black toner.

This means that the following colours in your documents will be printed using only 100% black toner:

RGB Red = 0, Green = 0, Blue = 0 CMYK Cyan = 0%, Yellow = 0%, Magenta = 0%,

Black = 100%

OLOUR MATCH PRECISION

When the printer performs colour matching, it must do many calculations to convert between different colour formats (RGB, CMYK, etc.). These calculations can take time to process.

The [Colour Match Precision] option allows you to choose between higher quality colour matching (more time consuming) or faster but less accurate colour matching.

INISHING OPTIONS

Your printer offers a wide selection of document finishing options that help you to control the final form of your printed document.

Depending on the hardware fitted, either as optional upgrades or included as standard and on which model you have, your system can offer a number of choices.

For detailed information on these options see:

> “Booklet printing (imposition)” on page 73 > “Collating” on page 77 > “Colour separation” on page 80 > “Separating queued print jobs” on page 82 > “Cover print” on page 84 > “Custom page size” on page 86 > “Duplex (double-sided) printing” on page 90 > “Printing multiple pages on one sheet (N-up)” on page 93 > “Poster printing” on page 96 > “Scale to page” on page 97 > “Watermarks” on page 98

OOKLET PRINTING (IMPOSITION

Booklet printing in the Windows drivers printing allows printing of multi-page documents with their pages ordered and arranged so that final printed output can be folded into a booklet. Typically, A4 pages would be reduced to A5 and pr inted side by side on both sides of A4 paper, so that the paper can be folded into a booklet.

)

Colour matching> 73

Since this feature prints on both sides of the page, it requires a duplex unit to be installed in the printer, and 256MB of additional memory (512MB in total).

NOTES:

1. To find out how much memory currently installed, print out a Configuration page from the printer control panel.

2. A few applications do not support booklet printing, but most do.

3. This feature is not available in the Macintosh drivers.

When using the PostScript driver, if you plan to print a long document, more than about 16 pages, consider printing it in sections of 8 or 16 at a time. This is called the “signature,” and will avoid having too thick a stack of paper to fold to make your booklet. Your document will then be printed in a series of booklets which can be stacked one above the other. This is usually a neater arrangement.

The above considerations do not matter when using the PCL driver as the signature can be set within the driver, and a long document can be printed directly as a series of booklets.

Note that the number of pages in a booklet is always a multiple of four, since two pages are printed on each side of each sheet of paper. If your document is not a multiple of four pages long, the last one, two or three pages in your folded booklet will be blank.

OLLATING

This feature allows multiple copies of a multi-page document to be printed with the pages of each copy in sequence.

Uncollated pages print like this

Collated pages print like this

Application collate—Some application programs have a collate feature in their print options. In this case the application performs the document collation and may send the job multiple times to the printer. Generally, this method is slower but can be more reliable.

Printer collate—This section describes the collate function built into the printer driver. In this case the job is stored temporarily in printer memory or on the printer’s hard disk (if installed), and the printer performs collation. This method is normally faster, but may not work from all applications.

If you experience problems using printer collate, use the collate option in your application’s print options instead.
