PRINTER/SCANNER
FUNCTIONS
The machine includes a USB connector and a LAN connector as standard equipment.
When the USB connector is used, the printer and scanner functions can be used.
When the LAN connector is used, the printer function can be used.
The machine has the following features:
• High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 connector)
• ROPM* function
* ROPM is an acronym for "Rip Once Print Many" processing. The ROPM function stores
multiple pages of print data in memory before printing. When printing multiple copies,
this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.
To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must
first be installed as explained in the "SET UP THE SOFTWARE".
Note
• If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see the Online
Manual.
• When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read "System
requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (below) to verify that
your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.
• The scanning feature is only available when Windows 98/Me/2000/
XP and a USB connection are used. The scanning feature is not
available when Windows 95/NT 4.0 or a LAN connection is used.
System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)
The following system is required to use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode):
• Your computer must be running Windows XP / Windows 2000 and the Microsoft
USB 2.0 driver must be pre-installed, or the USB 2.0 driver for Windows XP /
Windows 2000 must be installed using Microsoft's Windows Update service.
• The "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" setting in the machine's user programs must be
set to "Hi-Speed". To change the setting, see "USB 2.0 MODE SWITCH" in the
user programs. (p.68).
* Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is installed, some USB 2.0 expansion cards
are not capable of attaining the speed stipulated by the Hi-Speed standard. This
problem can often be fixed by installing a more recent driver for the card. To obtain
the most recent driver for your card, contact the card's manufacturer.

Explanation
• Auto clear time automatically
returns the copy settings to
the initial settings (p.16) if no
keys are pressed for a preset
period of time following the
end of a copy job.
• This program is used to select
the period of time. Auto clear
time can also be disabled.
• This function automatically
switches the machine to a low
power consumption state if
the set duration of time
elapses without the machine
being used when the power is
on. The power save indicator
lights up, however, the keys
on the operation panel can be
used. Normal operation
automatically resumes when
a key on the operation panel
is pressed, an original is
placed, a print job is received.

Explanation
• This function automatically
switches the machine to a state
that consumes even less power
than preheat mode if the set
duration of time elapses without
the machine being used when
the power is on. All lights
except the power save indicator
go off. To resume normal
operation, press the [START]
key (). Normal operation
also resumes automatically
when a print job is received or
scanning is begun from a
computer. While in auto power
shut-off mode, no keys (except
the [START] key ()) can be
used.
• When copying using the
RSPF, while "SET
ORIGINALS FOR STREAM
FEEDING." appears in the
display after an original has
been scanned (about 5
seconds), a subsequent
original can be placed and
automatically fed into the
machine.
• Use this setting to select the
layout pattern when two
original pages are copied onto
a single sheet of paper (see
page 35 for the layout
patterns).
• When enabled, this function
offsets the position in the
paper output tray of sets of
copies during copy job, and
print jobs when using the
printer function.
• When two-sided copying is
performed, this function
rotates the image on the back
of the original. This is
convenient when binding the
copies at the top (tablet
binding).

Explanation
• The copy resolution in auto
and text mode is normally 300
dpi. If high-quality copies are
preferred, use this setting to
change the resolution to 600
dpi.
• If the memory fills up when
two-sided copying is
performed, "NORMAL" can be
selected to make copying
possible. However,
"NORMAL" results in a slower
copying speed. Normally "HISPEED" is selected to enable
fast two-sided copying.
• Use this setting to set the
margin width.
• Use this to change the
proportion of machine
memory used for printer
mode.
• Use this setting to select
whether or not holding down a
key causes repeated input of
the key. For keys that
normally cause a set value to
increase when held down (for
example, holding down the
[] key () or [] key
()), this program can be
used to have the set value not
change when the key is held
down.
• Use this setting to select how
long a key must be pressed
for the input to be accepted.
By selecting a longer time,
you can prevent settings from
being changed by the
accidental pressing of a key.
• This sets the volume of beep
signals. (p.70)

Explanation
When this function is enabled,
printing in printer mode will
automatically continue using a
different size of paper if the
specified size of paper runs out
in all trays. This feature does
not function in copy mode.
This sets the USB 2.0 data
transfer speed. To obtain the
fastest speed when using the

that your computer meets the
system requirements (operating
system and driver), and then
use this program to change the
USB 2.0 mode to "Hi-Speed".
Note that the setting should not
be changed while running a
TWAIN driver. (For the system
requirements, see "System

:In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible
human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is
inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an
opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of
lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at
levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal
models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black and
lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner
preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner
exposure and tumor development in rats.

Carcinogenicity :In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen
(possible human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for
which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence
on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based
upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation
exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the
lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any
association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year
cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black
demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor
development in rats.
Chronic Effect:In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to
moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high

• The equipment should be installed near an accessible socket outlet for easy disconnection.
Required in Appendix ZB of BS 7002 (En 60 950) — United Kingdom
The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable
(moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse
to BS1362 marked or and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must
be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without
the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied
either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable
plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below.
DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately
and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted
elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol Å@, or coloured green or greenand-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured red.
If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
