Retention
[Normal Print]
When selected, it is not necessary to use the
operation panel on the machine to begin printing.
This setting is used for basic printing. As long as
the machine is operating properly, printing can be
executed entirely from the computer.
[Hold After Print]
When selected, the print job is retained in the
machine's hold job list after being printed. This
allows the user to print the job again if necessary,
or delete the job if no longer needed.
[Hold Before Print]
This setting is used to prevent print jobs from
being misplaced. When a print job is executed,
the machine stores it in the hold job list rather
than printing it. The user can then initiate printing
from the machine's operation panel, or delete the
job as needed.
[Proof Print]
This setting is used to prevent misprints when
printing large numbers of copies. When printing is
executed, the machine prints only one trial set of
copies and then stores the remainder of the job in
the hold job list. After the user has verified that
the copies are acceptable, the job can be
resumed from the machine's operation panel.
(The trial set of copies is included in the total
number of sets.) If the copies are not acceptable,
the job can be deleted without printing.
[PIN] (5-digit identification number)
A PIN number can programmed in the printer
driver for increased security when printing jobs
from the hold job list. When this is done, the PIN
number must be entered at the machine's
operation panel to print a job in the job hold list.
●●●●"Hold After Print" mode with password:
Password entry on the operation panel of the
printer is needed for additional printing of the
hold job.
●●●●"Hold Before Print" mode with password:
Password entry on the operation panel of the
printer is needed to start printing.
●●●●"Proof Print" mode with password:
Password entry on the operation panel of the
printer is needed to print the remaining sets after
printing one set. The first set is printed without
password entry.
Default setting: Normal Print
Notify Job End
Select whether or not you wish to be notified
about printing completed.
This function only operates when the Printer
Status Monitor is running. Even if selected, the
function will not operate when the Printer Status
Monitor is not running.

Account Number
When the "AUDITING MODE" of the key operator
program is turned on, a count can be kept of the
number of sheets printed by each account.
Account numbers for this purpose are
programmed using the key operator program for
the printer sheet count. To program an account
number, see "Key operator programs".
When the "ACCOUNT LIMIT SETTING" (key
operator program) is turned on, printing is not
permitted after the page count reaches the limit.
When this happens, a notice page is printed
(unless the "Prohibit notice page printing" of the
key operator program has been turned on).
When the "CANCEL JOBS OF INVALID
ACCOUNTS" of the key operator program is
turned on, printing will not take place if an invalid
account number is entered, or if printing is
executed without entering an account number. If
you want printing be allowed even if a valid
account number is not entered, turn this setting
off. In this case, pages printed by an invalid
account number will be included in the

DESCRIPTION OF SETTING PROGRAMS
The key operator programs related to the printer function are explained here.
Printer settings
Default settings
These programs are used to adjust the settings of
various printer functions.
■■■■ Prohibit notice page printing
This program is used to disable notice page printing.
Turn on this program when you do not want the
machine to print the notice page explained in "NOTICE
PAGE PRINTING" on page 8-3
.
■■■■ Delete the print hold data
Use this program to manually delete all stored data
from the hard disk.
When you touch this key, a message will appear to
confirm that you want to delete the data. Check the
message and then proceed with the deletion. If you are
using the job retention function (page 5-2
caution when using this program.
), exercise
■■■■ Prohibit test page printing
This program is used to disable test page printing.
When the program is turned on, the PRINTER TEST
PAGE in the user settings cannot be printed. (See the
"Operation manual (for general information and copier
operation)" page 2-14.)
■■■■ A4/letter size auto change
If this program is set, and printing onto 8-1/2" x 11" size
paper is selected but not available, the printer will
automatically substitute A4 size paper in place of 8-1/2"
x 11" paper if A4 paper is available.
* 8-1/2" x 11" paper cannot be automatically selected in
place of A4.
NOTE
When 8-1/2" x 11" size is specified for a document
attached to an E-mail that has been transmitted from
a foreign country and A4 size paper is not installed in
the printer, printing cannot be done without operator
intervention. If this program is set, printing will be
executed without intervention if a paper tray is
loaded with A4 paper.
■■■■ Output method when memory is full
When the internal memory becomes full with printer
data, further printing is not possible, thus the print data
stored to that point is printed. This program is used to
set the condition for printing. The factory default setting
is "1 SET".
TABLE OF CONTENTS

JOB" or "SWITCH AFTER I/O TIMEOUT" can be
selected. When "SWITCH AT END OF JOB" is
selected, the port will be automatically selected after
each print job is completed. When "SWITCH AFTER I/
O TIMEOUT" is selected, the port will be automatically
selected if the time set in the I/O Timeout program
elapses.

■■■■ I/O timeout
This program is used to set the length of time to wait for
an I/O to complete a job on the parallel port or the
network port. If the data stream to the port does not
transmit data for a length of time exceeding the
timeout, the job will cancel and the next job will start
processing.
The I/O timeout setting is used to set the amount of time
after which an I/O timeout will occur when waiting for
print data.
Default setting: 20 seconds
NOTE
The allowable range of the time is 1 to 999 seconds.
Network settings

DESCRIPTION OF SETTING PROGRAMS
Colour adjustments
This program is used to perform manual or automatic
adjustment of colour tone (cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black), and adjustment of grey balance in middledensity areas.
A test page can also be printed to verify the results of
the adjustments.
None of these adjustments affect black and white
printing.
The following selections are available in [Colour
adjustments].
● Easy calibration
● Colour balance
● Test print
See the accompanying "Colour Adjustment" manual
for detailed explanations of these functions.

NOTICE PAGE PRINTING
A notice page will be printed when the current print job cannot be run due to a system limitation and an explanation
of the limitation is too lengthy to be shown in the message display. A notice page will describe the limitation and other
possible ways instead of possibilities to run the job.
A notice page will be printed in the following cases.
●When the print data of a single job is so large that it cannot be held in memory. (When there are other jobs
occupying memory, notice pages may tend to be printed more frequently even for jobs with small amounts of
data.)
●When a print job is sent to the printer and the number of print hold jobs has reached the maximum of 100 jobs.
●When different paper sizes have been selected for printing within a print job and one or more of the sizes cannot
be delivered to the selected exit tray or to the stapler compiler. In these cases printed paper will be delivered
partly to the specified destination (tray or compiler) and partly to another exit tray.
●When a function is selected that has been disabled using the key operator programs, such as disabling of twosided printing, disabling of the staple function, or disabling of a specified exit tray.
●An invalid account number is entered when the auditing mode has been set.
■■■■ Disabling of notice page printing
