SHARP ARPB2 FUNCTION AND OPERATION

AR-PB2

[8] FUNCTION AND OPERATION

1. Multi Function

Multiple Functions

Arbitration of contention among printing, copying and faxing is controlled by the copier. The print controller only sends the print request to the copier. The copier judges whether the requested print job is immediately performed or not by checking the current status of the copier. The printer controller does not control contention caused by the status of the copier.

emulation.

In the automatic emulation sensing mode, for print data without the PJL command, the emulation is automatically switched either to PostScript, to PCL5e based on data sensed. In other words, automatic emulation sensing (switching) is available only between PostScript and PCL5e. For print data with the PJL command, the emulation is automatically switched to the specified one with out sensing the data. When print data without the PJL command fails to be sensed, or when the print data is given the PJL command but the specified emulation is not present, the data is handled in the PCL emulation.

In the fixed emulation mode, for print data without the PJL command, the fixed emulation is used to handle the print data.Print data with the PJL command is switched to the specified emulation. When print data is given the PJL command but the specified emulation is not present, the data is processed by the default emulation.

The PJL Enter command specifies PostScript and PCL5e.

4. Resolution

The printer controller supports only 600-dpi binary images in single bit per pixel mode. The print engine does not support resolution settings other than 600 dpi (fixed at 600 dpi). When300 dpi is specified for resolution, 4 pixels are represented as 1 dot to create 300dpi image. In other words, the printer controller always sends 600-dpi images to the engine.

7. Host I/O Port Selection

There are two host I/O ports, the P1284 port and the Network(NIC) port, as described before. The host I/O port can be selected between the I/O port automatic port switching and the I/O fixed port setting. The automatic port switching has two settings, between jobs and after I/O time-out.

Setting Behavior

Automatic Switching

Between Jobs

When receiving data is detected through a port, sensing data receipt from each port, considers the port as current (port automatic sensing processing), and processes the data received only through the current port. Then until the job ends in the situation described below in 1) or

2), the data through the current port is only processed. After the print job ends, the port automatic sensing processing restarts.

1) The print job is completed by the job-end command.

2) The current port gets into the state of waiting for data receipt, and after no data is received for a certain time (I/O time-out value), print job ends by the I/O time-out.

After I/O Time-out

When receiving data is detected through a port, sensing data receipt from each port, considers the port as current (port automatic sensing processing) and processes the data received only through the current port. Then until the I/O time-out in the situation described below in 1), the data through the current port is only processed. After the I/O time-out, the port automatic sensing processing restarts.

1) The current port gets into the state of waiting for data receipt, and after no data is received for a certain time (I/O time-out value), the print job ends by the I/O time-out. (When the print job has not been completed , it ends simultaneously.

9. Printing Modes

Basic Printing Modes

The printer controller and copier / ERDH supports the following two printing modes.

Mode-A (concurrently operates the printing operation and storing of print data into ERDH)

This mode is intended to accelerate the first print time in the device configuration in which Face-down delivery is supported. In the first set of a print job, copier/ ERDH prints the first set while receiving print data from the printer controller and storing it into itself. From the second set on, printing is performed by reading stored data from the ERDH. In addition, in the Face-down delivery, Mode-A is operated by ERDH Reverse order being OFF. Typically, in this case, the Reverse Order printing is selected in the application.

Mode-B (starts printing after copier/ ERDH has received an entire print job)

With Face-up delivery, as the ERDH is in charge of reversing page order, it starts printing the last page of a print job first after it has received the entire print job from the printer controller. In addition, when features such as Duplex or Booklet are specified, all paper sizes conform to the operation of Mode-B. In Mode-B operation,

Notice Page

determining the contents of the print job (e.g. the number of the pages available for stapling,and multiple sizes of paper specified) before the start of printing allows a suitable paper destination to be selected and Finishing to be performed.

N set

60 1

Face-up /Face-down Selection and Mode-A / Mode-B Control

Users are allowed to select either Face-up or Face-down. Basically, Face-up/Face-down controls are selected for an entire print

job. However, when the multiple sizes of paper are selected, the output into multiple destinations and Face-up /Face-down deliveries may be performed in one job.

In both Face-up and Face-down modes, if an entire print job can be stored in the ERDH, the document will be output in the correct page order.

• In Reverse order feature by ERDH in the copier, users are allowed

to select either ON/OFF. (When only Face-up delivery is present, ERDH Reverse order feature is set to OFF, which allows the reverse order printing by the application without limiting the number of pages.)

• Users are not allowed to select either Mode-A or Mode-B. When

ERDH reverse is ON, Mode-B is automatically set,and when ERDH reverse is OFF, Mode-A is set.

• N-up is capable of the Mode-A operation.

• In the Group mode, Face-up/down, and Mode-A/Mode-B control are carried out as well as the Collate mode.

• Different First Page is capable of the Mode-A operation.

• OHP interleave paper is capable of the Mode-A operation.

The paper sizes in the table above are those at the job beginning. When the paper unavailable for output is fed during the processing of a job, the following operations are performed.

For example, when 2tray finisher Tray2 / Face-down is selected; a) When the paper impossible for output, such as A3

• Mode-B and Face-up printing in N to 1 order is performed and

delivered to Tray 1.

• When the beginning is possible to output like A4 and the job

includes paper that is impossible to output such as A3:

• Mode-A and Face-down printing in 1 to N order is performed.

b) The paper of A3 size is escaped to Tray 1. This causes the

reversed (incorrect) order printing of remaining when the original output mode was Face-down.

• Even if the A4 size paper will come after that of A3 size, the

destination is not returned to Tray 2. In other words, only one destination change can occur in one job.

• If the output has been separated into two output trays, the

following are performed in accordance with incorrect order printing:

• If key operator "OUTPUT METHOD WHEN MEMORY IS

FULL" is set to"1 set", cancel printing after second set.

• If Notice Page printing was allowed by the key operator

"PROHIBIT NOTICE PAGE PRINTING", a Notice Page is printed. (This will be done in both case when the output after second set is canceled or not.)

in the Face-up and the Face-down modes.

11. Duplex with Multiple Paper Sources

For duplex printing, selecting a new paper size, or source empties the duplex module and printing resumes on the next odd face. In N - 1 Print Order printing this may be accomplished by inserting a blank page sid e into the job s tream in order to fill in the back side of a page. This does not apply for o nly an image orien tation change . This is best illustrated by the example below.

For the job shown below, printing 8 faces on 2 sizes of paper, a face down duplex printer will produce the mix of duplex pages shown below

5 letter and 3 legal sides

Should print on 5 sheets in this order

The system will insert blank pages if necessary to create the same output for both 1 - N Print Order and N - 1 Print Order print jobs.

In the above-mentioned case, inserted blank pages are NOT counted.

12. Binding Edge

The Binding Edge controls the appearance of both simplex and duplex documents. This determines how pages will be rotated by the system so that when bound all of the pages will have the correct orientation in the document.

All three Binding Edge controls are supported.
