In the automatic emulation sensing mode, for print data without the
PJL command, the emulation is automatically switched either to Post­Script, 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 without 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.

7. Web Page Setting

This copier/printer is equipped with web page features that allow
some network-related functions such as the network scanner function
and the Status & Alert by E-mail function to be set and used with a
web browser. (An optional Network Scanner Expansion Kit AR-NS1 is
required to use the network scanner function.)

The web page feature includes the following three types.

1. Password Setting

Setting up the administrator’s and user’s passwords.
The administrator of this software can set the passwords (for ad-

ministrator and user) to authorize the access to the E-mail Setup
Web page for the security of the settings on the page. If such a
security measure is not required, the Password Setting procedure
can be skipped. This will leave Web access settings open to all
users.

2. E-mail Setup and Network Scanning Setup

Configuration of the network scanning system and status/alert by
E-mail.

3. Scanning Destination Setup

Setting the default scanning parameters on the device to send the
scanned image or data as Destinations. (An optional Network
Scanner Expansion Kit AR-NS1 is required for this setup.)

First, assign an IP address to the copier/printer.

A. Password Setting

The administrator should exclusively do the setting of the password of
two levels: User and Admin when setting up network scanning system
security. A User password is required to create, change, and delete
destinations. An Admin Password lets you access to the same func­tions as the User password but is also required to set system con­figuration settings such as:

• Password Setup page

• Setup Status & Alerts by E-mail pages

• E-mail/Network Scanning Setup page

When you first install your network scanning system, both password
functions are disabled. To set a User and/or Admin password.

[7] 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.

3. Emulation Switch

Emulation setting can be switched between automatic emulation
sensing (switching) and fixed emulation modes as shown below.

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.

15. Confidential Print

The confidential print feature allows printing to be started only after
entering the specified password on the operation panel. This feature
is useful for printing secret document data on the printer located away
from the user.

To execute confidential print, specify use of this feature and enter a
password on the setting screen of the printer driver (Advanced tab in
the Windows system, print conditions setting in the Macintosh sys­tem). The operation procedure on the operation panel for starting
confidential print is described below. The maximum number of con­fidential print jobs that can be stored in the printer can be specified
using a key operator program.

NOTES: Different first page, transparency inserts, and booklet print

are not available with this feature.
Paper tray selection in the printer driver must be ’Auto

Select’.
A confidential print data is deleted when printing is com-

pleted or the CLEAR () key is pressed during printing.
If the printer power switch is turned off or the printer is

turned off by the auto power shut-off function, all confiden­tial print data that has been stored in the printer will be
deleted. The auto power shut-off time can be adjusted
using a copier key operator program. If confidential print is
often used, it is recommended to set a long auto power
shut-off time.

In the following cases, the printer will cancel confidential
print and output a notice page. The received print data will
be cleared.

1. The maximum number of print jobs or the maximum
number of pages specified with a key operator program
is exceeded.

2. ‘Custom paper size’ is specified.

AR-PB2A

16. Tandem Print

If the printer model has the tandem copy/print feature and is con­nected with another copier of the same model through the tandem­connection cable so that the tandem copy feature can be used, the
tandem print feature can be used. For printing multiple sets, two
printers can be used simultaneously, allowing printing to be twice as
fast as printing on one printer.

To execute tandem print, select this feature on the printer driver set­ting screen (Advanced tab in the Windows system, print conditions
setting in the Macintosh system).

• If the printers are equipped with optional equipment, the two

printers must be equipped with the same optional equipment. A
dedicated tandem-connection cable AR-CA1 is required for tan­dem print.

• Paper tray selection in the printer driver must be ‘Auto Select’.

• Different first page, transparency inserts, and confidential print are

not available.

NOTES: If the printers are connected to the network, print data must

be sent to the main printer for tandem print. If the data is
sent to the sub printer, the data will be output without using
the tandem print feature.

For tandem printing, the operation settings of the two
copier/printers must be the same. For details on these set­tings, see the section of Tandem Copy in the copier opera­tion manual.

To cancel tandem prin tin g after starting, press the "OF-
FLINE" key on the main printer. Then press the CLEAR key
on the main printer.
