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 7-3 Normally this program is set to not print a notice page.

Print density level

This program is used to adjust the lightness or darkness of prints. Five levels are provided for density adjustment. These are represented by numbers displayed on the touch panel. Among the displayed numbers, a smaller value indicates lighter density and a larger value indicates a darker density.

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 custom settings cannot be printed. (See page 2-15 of "Operation manual (for general information and copier operation)")

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.

Interface settings

These programs are used to control data transmitted to the parallel port, USB port or network port of this printer.

Hexadecimal dump mode

This program is used to output the print data from a computer in the hexadecimal dump format with corresponding characters (ASCII). This program is used to check proper transmission of print data from the computer to the printer.

Output example of hexadecimal dump mode

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.

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.

5-5

DESCRIPTION OF SETTING PROGRAMS

Enable parallel port

This program is used to enable or disable printing from the parallel port. Default setting: Enable

Parallel port emulation switching

This program is used to specify a printer language to emulate when the printer is connected to a computer through the parallel port.

Setting items Description Auto The printer language will switch

automatically in accordance with the data from the computer.

PostScript PostScript emulation is used to print

the data from the computer. (An optional PS3 expansion kit is needed.)

PCL PCL emulation is used to print the

data from the computer.

NOTE

It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting) unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

Port switching method

The machine can use the three ports shown below for printing. This program is used to select when switching between ports will take place. "SWITCH AT END OF 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.

● Parallel port

Network settings

DESCRIPTION OF SETTING PROGRAMS

These programs are set when this product is used as a network printer. After you complete the setting for one program, you must exit the key operator programs, turn off the main switch, wait briefly, and then turn on the main switch again before any other programs can be set. The program that was set will be effective after the power is turned on.

NOTE

For setting and modification of "Network settings", be sure to consult with the network administrator.

IP address setting

When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP protocol, use this program to set the IP address (IP address, IP subnet mask, and IP gateway) of this product. The program is set to ENABLE DHCP by factory default setting, which obtains the IP address setting automatically. When using this product on a TCP/IP network, be sure to turn on the "Enable TCP/IP" program below.

If DHCP is used, the IP address assigned to the machine may be changed automatically on occasion. If this happens, printing will not be possible.

Enable TCP/IP

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. Printing of the notice page is initially disabled in the key operator programs (see "PROHIBIT NOTICE PAGE PRINTING" on page 5-5 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 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.
