Printer Features

The printers are high-speed, shared-use laser printers for a production printing environment. They incorporate a wide variety of features:

High-Speed and High-Quality Printing.

Print speed is up to 70 or 92 pages per minute (ppm), A4/Letter (Simplex) depending on the printer model.

The printing output is at a resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi), assuring razor-sharp graphic and text output, even at very small point sizes.

Flexible Paper Source and Delivery. Paper Source:

Standard – Two 500-sheet universal paper trays and one 2000-sheet universal paper cassette.

Standard – 150-sheet capacity Multi-bypass Tray (MBT) for automatically printing small jobs, or manually feeding single sheets (including transparencies, labels, and odd-sized print media).

Option – High Capacity Feeder with 3000-sheet capacity.

Paper Delivery:

Standard - 2,500-sheet (Elevator Tray), 200-sheet (Upper Tray) capacity Finisher.

Option – Container Stacker with 1,500 to 6,000-sheet capacity and stacking capability.

Multiple Original Printing (MOP) – for printing of multiple collated document sets without multiple file transfers. Processes PCL and PostScript jobs once, stores the images on disk, and prints each set from disk (after the first set).

Virtual Printer Technology (VPT®) – allows a single printer to offer print services, or virtual printers, each of which is configured by the Network Administrator.

Web Utilities – for remote access to the printer through the Internet or your company’s Intranet.

Ergonomic operation.

The easy-to-read display clearly shows the operational status of the printer.

Component-based consumables.

User replaceable toner and staples.

High-volume printing.

Three standard paper cassettes with approximately 3000-sheet capacity total and the Multi-bypass Tray (MBT) with a 150-sheet capacity.

Optional High Capacity Feeder (HCF) adds up to 3000 additional sheets.

Together they allow continuous printing of up to 6150 sheets.

Operator Control Panel 2-11

Printer Menu

When you select Printer from the Main Menu, this screen is displayed. You use the Printer Menu to gain access to the printing options described in the table below.

PCL

Paper Source

Default

Defines the default paper tray. Use this when the paper source is not designated by a host command. If a command from the host defines the paper source, the OCP setting is ignored. When “AutoSelect” is selected, tray is automatically selected according to paper size and/or paper type defined by host.

Paper Size

When Paper Size is selected the paper size of the currently selected paper source is displayed. When the “Custom Size Switch” in the tray is set to “Standard”, paper size is automatically detected. See “Setting the Custom Paper Size Values” on page 3-16 for more information.

Paper Type

Defines the paper type to desired input tray. The paper type screen displays currently selected paper type, and the option buttons to select another paper type. See “Setting the Paper Type” on page 3-17 for more information.

Paper Color

Sets the paper color for the selected input tray. The paper color screen displays the currently selected paper color, and the option buttons to select another paper color. There are 7 pre-defined colors and up to 80 custom colors to choose from. Custom colors are defined using the Web Utilities. See “Setting the Paper Color” on page 3-17 for more information.

Paper Weight

Defines the paper weight for the input tray. The paper weight screen displays

the currently defined paper weight, and the options to redefine the paper weight settings. Options include bond, index and g/m2. See “Setting the Paper Weight” on page 3-17 for detailed information and instructions.

2-12 Operator Control Panel

Tray Adjust

The print position can be adjusted vertically and horizontally using the Tray Adjust option. When printing in duplex mode, you can set different tray adjust values for the front side and back side of the paper. See “Setting the Tray Adjust Values” on page 3-16 for detailed information and instructions.

Ordered Sets

You can define an ordered set by specifying the number of pages in the set and the paper source tray(s) that contain the ordered set pages. The printer will support input tray cascading for ordered sets based on paper size and media type. See “Ordered Sets” on page 3-18 for detailed information and instructions.

Default Output

Use this option when the output tray is not designated by a host command. Options include Upper Tray, Elevator Tray and Stacker 5, 6, 7 and 8, (if installed). If a command from the host defines the output tray, the OCP setting is ignored.

Options

Wait Timeout

Defines the time period (in seconds) from reception of last data to the

reception of next data. If data is not received within the defined period, the job is terminated. A command from the host will override the OCP setting.

LPD Queuing

Can be set to enable or disable. The factory default is disabled. When enabled the printer will accept and queue additional print jobs while a data transfer is in process for another job.

Duplex Always

Can be set to enable or disable. When set to enable, the printer will always print in duplex mode.

Auto Proof Sample

This function provides automatic proof sample printing instead of manually pressing the Sample button on the OCP. The auto proof sample interval is 0 - 5,000 pages in 500 sheet increments (0, 500, 1,000, 1,500, ... 5,000). For

example, if the interval is set to “500”, the printer will automatically output a proof sample to the sample tray every 500 sheets. If the interval is set to “0”, the function is disabled.

PostScript

Print Errors

Can be set to enable or disable. When set to enable, the printer will print an error page when a PostScript error occurs.

Operator Control Panel 2-13

Best Fit

Can be set to enable or disable. When enabled, if the requested paper size is not present in any tray, the printer will select the closest available paper size and scale the image to fit. Best Fit works in conjunction with the Best Fit Mode option in the System Menu.

Job Timeout

Defines the time limit for processing of the PostScript job. The valid range is 0 or 15 - 999.

Halftone Density

Halftone Density can be adjusted to Light, Medium, Dark or Custom.

NOTE:

The Halftone Density menu is only displayed when the Halftone Selection in the Service menu is enabled.

Test Print

Use this button to print a test pattern for checking the print quality or the print position. A list of test patterns is shown on page 2-4.

PCL

Wide A4

Can be set to enable or disable. When set to enable, the printer changes the margin/printable area of A4 paper so that 80 10-pitch characters may be printed on a line.

Requested Tray

Exclusively - Printer should print from the requested tray only. First - Printer should print from the requested tray first.
