When you are using a Windows operating system, printer driver settings
override those set using the control panel. Set the desired input tray using
the printer driver.
See the printer driver Help.
You have to configure the option setup in printer properties when bidirectional transmission is not enabled.
See the printer driver Help.
The feed orientation you selected and the feed orientation selected in the
printer driver's option setup might not be the same. Set the machine's feed
orientation and the printer driver's feed orientation accordingly.
See the printer driver Help.
With certain functions, such as enlargement and reduction, image layout

Collate and Rotating Collate
If you select the collate function on the printer driver, the machine will store
print data in memory and automatically collate the printouts.
The collate function can be turned on or off from the printer driver. The machine
automatically rotates the printouts under the following conditions:
• When using A4, 8
• Paper with the same size and different orientations (e.g., A4K in Tray 1 and
A4L in Tray 2)
• Auto Tray Select is specified for tray setting
Limitation
❒ You cannot use the bypass tray with this function.
❖❖❖❖ Collate
Outputs can be assembled as sets in sequential order.

Interface Settings/Parallel Interface
❖❖❖❖ Parallel Timing
Specifies the timing for the parallel
interface. Normally, you do not
need to change this setting.
• ACK inside
• ACK outside
• STB down
Note
❒ Default: ACK outside
❖❖❖❖ Parallel Comm. Speed
Specifies the communication
speed of the parallel interface. If
the speed is too high, data may not
be transferred smoothly. If this
happens, change the setting to
“Standard”.
• High Speed
• Standard
❖❖❖❖ Bidirectional Comm.
Specifies, for instance, how a printer connected to the parallel interface responds to a status request. If
you experience problems using another manufacturer’s printer, set
this to Off.
Limitation
❒ If set to Off, asynchronous com-
munication will not work.
• On
• Off
Note
❒ Default: On
❖❖❖❖ Signal Control
Specifies how to handle any errors
that occur when printing from a
computer or sending faxes. Normally, you do not need to change
this setting.
