Envelopes:
Your fax machine’s multipurpose tray can hold up to 10 envelopes.
To use envelopes, insert the envelope face down, with the envelope
flap toward the front of the machine, as pictured below.
Note: Although the envelope passes through the printer at high
temperatures (392°F, or 200°C, for about one second) and
pressure in the fuser unit, the glue on the envelope should
not burn, melt, or be affected in any way.
8
WP-300 for PB 3400.qxd 12/16/99 6:54 PM Page 8
Page 11
Transparencies:
• When using transparencies, you must change the “OHP Mode” to On
(see page 11).
•
As with any other paper, make sure the transparency is the correct length for your fax’s current paper setting.
•
If using paper-backed transparency film with a strip along the
edge, remove the strip before loading the transparency.
•
Although a transparency passes through the printer at high
temperatures (392°F, or 200°C, for about one second) and pressure in the fuser unit, the transparency should not melt or curl
excessively.
Important: If you use a different paper size than the one selected in
this setting, the machine won’t print. (See also page 12.)
Important: In your computer application (such as a word processing or
spreadsheet program), set the paper size for your document
to be the same as the one set here.
4 Detail Setting
If you want to reduce the size of your document when you print it,
click Detail Setting… to open the Detail Setting window.
Your reduction rate choices are 81% and 70%. However, this setting
is not available if a paper size other than A4-sized is in your fax
machine.
Note: While selecting reduction print, the paper size window shows
only the paper size, either B4->A4 or A3-> A4, for the reduction print you select. If you want to select another paper size,
select the 100% reduction rate in the details setting.
5 Orientation
Determines how the document is positioned on the page, either
portrait (tall) or landscape (wide).
9
WP-300 for PB 3400.qxd 12/16/99 6:54 PM Page 9
Page 12
6 Copy
Selects the number of copies printed for each page. You can select
up to 99 copies. Also, sets whether the machine will collate the
printed copies.
Important: Set this to be the same as your computer application
(such as a word processing or spreadsheet program).
7 Hi-speed TT (True Type) Font Process
Usually, this mode must be set to
ON, indicated by a check mark in
the box.
Note: If the document doesn’t print with the correct font, turn this
mode off to try to correct the problem.
8 Option
You can set other printing functions by clicking Option… from the
Printer Settings box, which brings up this dialog box:
Dither:
Sets the quality of grayscale (halftone) printing to coarse, fine or
line art.
10
WP-300 for PB 3400.qxd 12/16/99 6:54 PM Page 10
Page 13
Print Density:
Sets the print density, or the darkness of the printing. You may
choose from: Dark, A Little Dark, Normal, A Little Light, Light or
Very Light.
OHP Mode:
You must set to “ON” only when using transparencies film (OHP
film) in your fax machine. Otherwise, this setting must be set to
“OFF”. See page 9 for more information about using transparencies.

WP-300 for PB 3400.qxd 12/16/99 6:54 PM Page 11
Page 14
Setting the paper size for the
multipurpose tray
Your fax machine’s multipurpose tray can hold nine different sizes of
paper for your fax machine when the machine is equipped with the
3400 PRINTER OPTION upgrade. All you have to do is tell your fax
machine which size the tray is using.
Important: On your fax machine’s display, a paper size with “P” as the
last character — for example, A4_P — works only when
you’re using your fax machine as a PC printer. Such a size
is not a valid setting for standalone (non-computer) fax
receiving and copying.
Important: If you use a different paper size from the one set in the fol-
lowing steps, the machine won’t print.
Important: In your computer application (such as a word processing or
spreadsheet program), be sure to set the paper size for your
document to the same as this setting.
1.
Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 4, ENTER. The LCD shows the tray’s current
setting:
2.
Press PROGRAM until the paper size you want appears. In this
example, we’ve chosen A4_P.
3.
Press ENTER to save the setting.
Paper Size: A4_P
Program/Enter
Paper Size: Letter
Program/Enter
12

slot.

the taskbar to open the Fax Printer type 3 Print
Manager.
Windows 3.1: Double-click the Fax Printer type 3 Print Manager icon
at the lower edge of your screen.

The Your System box shows the current status
for the PC connected to your fax machine:
The PC is working properly.

16
WP-300 for PB 3400.qxd 12/16/99 6:54 PM Page 16
Page 19
Click Option to open the System Option window. You can
make settings in the Control Option box and/or Error
Message Option box.
1. Control Option
For the Control Option box, your choices include:
• Background Printing
This lets you use the PC while the fax prints “in the background,” but
the printing speed is slower.
You can also prioritize print jobs. Choose between High, Medium and
Low priority. The higher the priority, the harder the PC will work to
finish the print job. But setting print jobs as priority will also allow
you to do less work on the PC while the priority job is printing.
• Use Spooler (Jam Recovery)
With this function activated, the Fax Printer type 3 Print Manager
spools the print data onto the PC hard drive. When you print multiple
pages, we suggest you make sure this function is activated, for higher
performance. That way, if a paper jam occurs during printing, you can
remove the jammed paper and resume the print job from where the
jam occurred.
• Always Watch Printer Status
If this is activated, the Print Manager monitors the printer status at
all times. If it is off, the Print Manager monitors the printer status
only when printing.
Note:Activating this feature may slow other PC work, particularly on
slower PCs and/or on Windows 3.x.
17
WP-300 for PB 3400.qxd 12/16/99 6:54 PM Page 17
Page 20
2. Error Message Option
For the Error Message Option, your choices include:
• Picture Mode
Error messages appear as an illustration and error statement. (See
page 27.)
• Dialog Box Mode
Error messages appear as an icon and error statement. (See page 27.)
• Sound Out
A beep sounds when an error occurs.
Disable Fax Printer type 3 Print Manager
When the error message “The printer is not responding” appears, and
the printer cable is connected correctly, click this box (a check mark
appears) to print your document.
Note:When this box is checked, the Fax Printer type 3 print manager will
not display the Fax Printer type 3 status.
2 Communication
The Communication box displays the status
between your computer and your fax. The icon
shows the status of the communication link
between the PC and fax (including the connecting cable):
The link is working fine.
The computer and the fax cannot communicate with each
other.
Either the printer cable is not connected or the fax is turned
off.
The fax is not responding.
If there is a problem, click this to open the Error Message
box.
18
WP-300 for PB 3400.qxd 12/16/99 6:54 PM Page 18
Page 21
You can monitor and, if necessary, change the status of the
link between your computer and fax by clicking Option.
You’ll see:
1. Current Status
This uses an icon to show the current PC/fax status.
If an error occurs, click Advice for more information of an error.
2. Status Change
You can change the communication status between your PC and fax.
When you click Connect, the Print Manager monitors printer status.
Note:When you print, you do not need to click this because the Print
Manager automatically connects to the printer.
When you click Disconnect, this disconnects the bi-directional communication between your computer and fax.
Note:Clicking this when you’re not printing will provide a slight
improvement in your PC’s processing speed.
Tuning
If necessary, click + (plus) or – (minus) to optimize communication
between your PC and fax. The Fax Printer type 3 driver software checks
whether the fax can receive data sent at high speed from your PC, and
then adjusts internal parameters (as necessary) to send data to the fax
at optimum speed.
Note:If using an IBM PS/2, please do not make either of the following set-
tings here: 5 or F.
