4.2 CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
4.2.1 SAMPLE PRINT
This feature was formerly known as “Proof Print”. This function gives users a
chance to check the print results before starting a multiple-set print run.
• The size of the hard disk partition for the sample print feature is 5 GB. This
partition is also used by the collation and locked print features.
• The partition can hold up to 30 files, including files stored using locked print.
• The maximum number of pages is 2,000, including jobs using locked print and
collation.
4.2.2 LOCKED PRINT
Using this feature, the print job is stored in the machine but will not be printed until
the user inputs an ID at the machine’s operation panel. This ID must match the ID
that was input with the printer driver.
• Stored data is automatically deleted after it is printed.
• Stored data can be manually deleted at the operation panel.
• The hard disk can hold up to 30 files, including files stored using sample print.
• The maximum number of pages is 2,000, including jobs using sample print and
collation.
• Locked print uses the same hard disk partiti o n as sample print and collation,
which is 5 GB.

4.2.3 PAPER SOURCE SELECTION
Tray Priority (Auto Tray Select)
The Tray Priority setting determines the start
of the tray search when the user selects
“Auto Tray Select” with the driver.
The machine searches for a paper tray with
the specified paper size and type.
When no tray contains paper that matches
the paper size and type specified by the
driver, the controller stops printing until the
user loads the correct paper.

4.2.4 AUTO CONTINUE
When this function is ena bled, the ma chine stops pr inting and cancels the print job
if there is no paper tray which matches the paper size and paper type specified by
the driver.
If Auto Continue is enabled, the machine waits for a specified period (0, 1, 5, 10,
15 minutes) for the correct size paper to be set in the tray, then cancels the print
job if the interval expires.
• The interval can set with the Printer Settings in the user tools.
(User Tools/ Printer Settings/ System/ Auto Continue)
If Auto Continue is disabled, the machine will not print the job, but will not cancel it,
so the job stays in the print queue.
If no paper tray matches the paper size and paper type specified by the driver:

4.2.5 PAPER OUTPUT TRAY
The default paper output tray for each application (copy/fax/printer) can be
selected using the System Settings menu in the user tools.
(User Tools/ System Settings/ General Features)
If a print job does not specify an output tray or if the driver specifies the default tray,
the default paper output tray is used.
Output Tray Selected
• If an output tray is specified by the driver, it overrides the default tray setting in
the user tools.
• If the machine cannot print to the selected output tray, it prints to the default
paper output tray.
• If the mailbox unit is installed, paper larger than B4 cannot be printed to the
standard (internal) tray.
• If paper overflow is detected at the selected output tray, the controller stops
printing until the overflow detector goes off.
Sequential Stacking
When the nine-tray mailbox is s elected as the output tray and
“Printer Default” is specified as the output tray in the driver, the
machine automatically sends the output to the top tray (1st
tray). When that tray fills up, the machine sends the output to
the next tray.
This feature is called “Sequential Stacking.”
• If a tray becomes full and paper is detected in the next tray,
the machine displays an error and stops printing.
When paper in the next tray is removed, the machine
automatically resumes printing to the next tray.
• If all trays become full (overflow detected in all trays), the
machine displays an error and stops printing. This time, all
paper in all trays must be removed.

Duplex printing is available with all output bin options but not all paper sizes. If a

duplex unit, the job will be printed single-sided.
• When the by-pass feeder is se lected as the paper source, duplex printing is
automatically disabled.

• Depending on the paper orientation, the image may have to be rotated. The
image rotation is done by the controller.
• There is a limit for the number of sheets which can be stapled. If a job has more
than this number, it will not be stapled.
4.2.8 PUNCHING
Punching is available only when the punch kit is installed with the two-tray finisher.
The number of holes (2, 3, or 4 holes) depends on the type of punch kit.
• There is only one punch position available, so the relationship between the
punching position and the printed image depends on the paper feeding
orientation and image rotation.

4.3.1 IMAGE PROCESSING FOR SCANNER MODE
The image processing for scanner mode is done in the IPU chip on the BICU
board. The IPU chip chooses the most suitable image processing methods
(gamma tables, dither patterns, etc) depending on the settings made in the driver.
The image compression method can be selected with SP mode (MR/MH/MMR for
binary picture processing, JPEG for grayscale processing).
Whether the user selects the image mode using the driver (TWAIN mode) or from
the operation panel (Delivery mode), the IPU chip does the image processing using
the appropriate image processing methods mentioned above.

The user can select the following modes from the LCD.

After image processing and image compression, all image data for the job are
stored in the printer controller HDD us ing TIFF file format (binary picture
processing) or JPEG file format (grayscale processing). The type of TIFF format
used depends on the user’s scanner settings.
When delivery mode is selec ted, the controlle r creates a file which contains the
destination and page information, then the controller sends the file to a server.

4.5.1 SPECIFICATIONS
Hardware Specification
Interface: IEEE1394 (6 pins)
(no power supply, cable power repeated, IEEE1394a-2000 compliant)
Ports: 2 ports
Data rates: 400Mbps/200Mbps/100Mbps
System Requirements
PC: Windows PC with IEEE1394 port
OS: Microsoft Windows 2000 upgraded with service pack 1
Cable length: 4.5m (15ft)
4.5.2 IEEE1394
IEEE1394, also known as FireWire (a name patented by Apple), is an easy-to-use
peer-to-peer networking technology allowing speeds of up to 400 Mbps.
The current standard contains the following features, which are supported in most
devices:
Detailed
Descriptions
• Hot swapping (cables can be connected and disconnected while the
computer and other devices are switched on)
• Peer-to-peer networking (no hub required)
• No terminator or device ID is required, unlike SCSI
• Automatic configuration of devices upon start-up, or “plug and play.”
• Real-time data transfer at 100, 200, and 400 Mbps
• Common connecto rs for different devices

The cable length is limited to 4.5 m (15ft).
However, up to 16 cables and 63 devices can be connected to an IEEE1394
network.
IEEE1394 cables can be either 4-pin (data only) or 6-pin (data and power).
IEEE1394 allows either 6-pin or 4-pin connectors. However, this machine only uses
the 6-pin connectors. The machine has two 6-pin ports.

Note the following points about this unit.
• The machine does not print reports specifically for IEEE1394. Just print the
Configuration Page at installation to check that the machine recognizes the card.
• There is no spooler or print queue. If a computer tries to print over the IEEE1394
while the printer is busy, the IEEE1394 interface card inside the printer will return
a busy signal.
• After starting a job using IEEE1394, do not switch the printer off until the job has
been completed. Even though the printer may appear to be dead, it may be in
the middle of an IEEE1394 protocol exchange with the computer.
• When using IEEE1394, it is not possible to check the printer status from the
computer with a utility such as Printer Manager for Client.
4.5.6 TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES
If there are problems printing using the IEEE1394 interface, check the following.
• Is the computer using Windows 2000 with service pack 1?
• Has the interface card been replaced recently? Each card has an individual
address, similar to the MAC address in an Ethernet card. If the card was
changed, the driver cannot find the old card. The new card is another device and
a new printer appears in Windows Control panel, and this must be configured in
the same way as the printer that was replaced (the old printer icon in Windows
Control Panel should be deleted) has to be reconfigured.
• Is there a loop somewhere in the network? An IEEE1394 network must be a
chain or a branched chain. There can be no loops.
• Try to find out where in the chain the problem is occurring. Test the machine
one-to-one with the computer to determine if the printer is defective (when the
printer’s interface cable is plugged in, the computer should see ‘Printer Ready’;
when the cable is disconnected, the computer should see ‘Offline’).
