Operator Control Panel 2-11

 Color Control

This function is used when necessary to reduce the image size on the printed page
due to paper shrinkage during printing. It uses the set-up value to reduce the
printed image. For the front engine the reduction of the image for the horizontal
directi on can be 0%, 0.12%, 0.24%, 0.36% or 0.48%. For the rear engine the
reduction of the ima ge for the ho rizontal direction can be 0.12%, 0.24%, 0.36%,

0.48% and 0.60%. For both the front and rear engine the reduction of the image
for the vertical direction can be from 0 to 1.00% in increments of 0.01%.

Before this function is used, the print position must be adjusted vertically and
horizontally. Refer to Setting the Tray Adjust values for adjustment of print
position.

The screen display is based on whether the print mode is simplex or duplex.
In the case of simplex mode, the reduction value is fixed at 0% for the front side

in the front engine because the paper does not shrink. The value needs to be set for
the front side of the rear engine only.

In the case of duplex printing when the paper length is 9 in. or less, the printing
sequence is as follows: Front side/front engine > back side/front engine > front
side/rear engine > back side/rear engine. Therefore, the reduction value should be
set at 0% for front side/front en gine > X% for back side/f ront engine > X% for
front side/rear engine > X% for back side/rear engine.

In the case of duplex printing when the paper length is over 9 in. (Letter SEF , A4
SEF , etc.), the printing sequence is as follows: Back side/front engine > front side/
front engine > back side/rear engine > front side/rear engine. Therefore, the
reduction value should be set at 0% back side/front engine > X% front side/front
engine > X% front side/rear engine > X% back side/rear engine.

NOTE:

If the paper size or direction is changed, the image may not be printed
correctly. Reset the reduction value.

Overview

The W eb Utilities give you the p ower to access the printer through the Internet or your
company’s Intranet. You can use the Web Utilities to perform many functions, which
are divided into three main areas: Status, System, and Service. The options available
in each area are listed below.

manual because their use is limited to the

(2) This menu is only available on the Front

Engine.

Often, the status of an item is indicated with a colored button or graphic. Three colors
are used throughout the Web Utilities to graphically display the status of various
items.

 Green indicates a normal condition.
 Yellow indicates a warning condition (e.g., low paper, low toner , consumable near

end of life).

 Red indicates an obstacle to printing, such as an empty condition, consumable at

end of life , paper jam, or door open.

Access and Security

Not all Web Utilities are available to every type of user. Access to certain utilities is
limited by a password. Passwords provide security to the System and Service areas of
the system. The W eb Utilities provide three levels of access: Status, System, and
Service, which are described below.

 Status Access

Access to the Status area of the system does not require a password. It allows the
user to view all Status options and print Status, Summary , Demo, and font reports.

 System Access

System access requires a password and enables the user to perform System
functions. System functions include modifying the printer configuration,
displaying all jobs in the system, and changing the system password. All user­accessible items are available as well.

 Service Access

Service access requires a password and enables unrestricted access to the system.
Service access allows you to display and modify the system configuration,
counters, license keycode, and both system and service passwords. All user- and
system-accessible items are available as well.

NOTES:

It is the responsibility of the servicing dealer and/or system administrator
to set and secure passwords in the Web Utilities.

To access the System area, enter the User Name system. To access the
Service area, enter the User Name service. The default password for both
areas is blank and should be changed when the printer is installed.
