[1] OUTLINE
This kit is used to connect the printer controller with the scanner and
the printer section in the machine.
1. Kit composition
This kit is composed of the following major parts:
• Printer I/F PWB
• Printer I/F connector unit
• Internal connection cable
• External connection cable
2. Outline of operations
(Printer mode)
Each color image data of 8bit of Y/M/C/K outputted from the print
controller is converted into the engine logic level in the printer I/F
PWB.
(Scanner mode)
Each color image data of 8bit of R/G/B scanned by the scanner is
inputted to the printer I/F PWB, and converted into the differential
output and sent to the print controller.
(Circuit system)
High-speed data transmission/reception is performed between the engine and the print controller. For that, the differential I/O system is
employed to increase the noise margin.

A. Printing Documents from the Computer
In most cases, it is not necessary to use the operation panel when
printing documents from the computer. When a document is sent to
the printer from the computer, the printer will automatically print the
document. However, following the procedure specified below can
help ensure that documents are printed accurately. The procedure
assumes that the printer has been properly connected to a computer,
and that a printer driver has been installed.
1) Check the operation panel to confirm that the ON LINE indicator is
lit. If the ON LINE indicator is not lit, press the PRINT key to select
the printer mode and then press the "ONLINE" key on the touch
panel to set the printer to the on-line condition.
2) Check the paper tray(s) to ensure that the desired paper is
loaded.
3) Using the computer and any appropriate application software, load
the document to be printed, set any desired features using the
installed printer driver, and give the command to print the document. If necessary, refer to the documentation for the computer
and/or the application software for help on issuing the necessary
commands.
4) The printer will print the document.
(1) Selecting the Online Mode
If the printer is in the offline mode, printing cannot be performed. To
select the online mode, use the procedure below.
1) If the printer is in the copier mode, press the PRINT key to select
the printer mode.
The basic screen of the printer mode will appear.
2) Press the "ONLINE/OFFLINE" key on the touch panel to switch
the printer to the online mode.
3) To select the copier mode, press the COPY key.
B. Tray Select
(1) Tray Selection
The "PAPER SELECT" key on the touch panel can be used to
change paper trays when printing has stopped for one of the following
reasons.
• In ‘Auto Select’ paper source selection mode, all trays on the
printer configured for the requested paper size are out of paper or
no trays on the printer are configured for the requested paper size.
• If a paper source has been specified, the requested tray on the
printer has run out of paper.
In most cases it will be best to load or re-load the printer with the
appropriate paper size and continue printing. If it is preferable to
continue printing from a different tray (possibly containing a different
size paper than requested by the computer), follow the procedure
below.
Tray Change Procedure:
1) Press the "ONLINE/OFFLINE" key on the touch panel to set the
printer to an offline state.
2) Press the "PAPER SELECT" key to select the desired paper tray.
3) Press the "ONLINE/OFFLINE" key to return the printer to an online state. The printer will begin printing from the selected tray.
NOTES: Selecting a tray containing a different size or orientation of
paper than that specified by the computer may result in the
pages being clipped to fit the physical paper size.
Note that using the "PAPER SELECT" key to select a new
paper tray overrides any selection previously made using
the printer driver configuration menus.
To cancel the print, use the operation panel of the Printer
Controller.
C. Key Operator Programs
Four key operator programs are available which allow a key operator
to adjust certain printer operating conditions. These programs are
listed as below.
1 Enable Bypass-Tray
Size Detection
2 Enable Bypass-Tray
Type Detection
3 Prohibit Bypass-Tray
Selection
4 Prohibit Auto Tray
Switching
Key operator programs governing printer features and functions can
be called in the same manner as the key operator programs governing copier features.
For general information on accessing key operator programs, including registration of a key operator code number, refer to the Key
Operator’s Guide in the copier manual.
If the printer function kit has been expanded, the "PRINTER" key will
be displayed on the touch panel after the key operator code number
is entered. Press the "PRINTER" key to access the key operator
programs for the printer features.
Enables or disables paper size
detection for the bypass tray.
Enables or disables paper type
detection for the bypass tray.
Enables/disables bypass tray
selection in the ’Auto Tray
Switching’ mode.
Enables/disables automatic
switching between paper trays
during printing when paper runs out.
(1) Enable Bypass-Tray Size Detection
This program is used to enable or disable paper size detection of the
bypass tray in the printer mode. This setting does not affect the paper
size detection in the copier mode.
To enable paper size detection of the bypass tray in the printer mode,
press the "ENABLE BYPASS-TRAY SIZE DETECTION" box to display a check mark.
To disable paper size detection, press the checked box again to clear
the check mark.
NOTE: If size detection of the bypass tray is disabled, paper in the
bypass tray will always be treated as the largest allowable
size paper (either 11" x 17" or A3). If an image larger than
the paper in the bypass tray is printed, a malfunction may
occur. Be careful when disabling the size detection.
(2) Enable Bypass-Tray Type Detection
This program is used to check the paper type selection for the bypass
tray at the machine with that selected at the printer driver when
printing from the bypass tray.
• When the check mark is on, the paper type selections at the
machine and at the driver will be checked. If both do not match,
auto paper feed will not be activated. If they match and the other
conditions for the auto paper feed are satisfied, the auto paper
feed will be activated.
• When the check mark is off, the paper type selection for the
bypass tray at the machine will be disregarded. Even if the selection is made at the machine, the selection at the printer driver will
override it.
When using with the check mark off, be sure not to select wrong
paper type. If the wrong paper type is selected, a misfeed or a
malfunction may occur.
To enable paper type detection of the bypass tray, press the
"Enable Bypass-Tray Type Detection" check box to display a check
mark. To disable paper type detection, press the checked box
again to clear the check mark.

(3) Prohibit Bypass-Tray Selection
If this program is set, the bypass tray will not be selected for a print
job that specifies auto paper selection or during auto tray switching.
To prohibit bypass tray selection, press the "PROHIBIT BYPASSTRAY SELECTION" box to display a check mark.
To restore bypass tray selection, press the checked box again to
clear the check mark.
(4) Prohibit Auto Tray Switching
This program prevents automatic switching between paper trays in
print jobs. This program does not affect the auto tray switching function in the copier mode.
To prohibit automatic tray switching, press the "PROHIBIT AUTO
TRAY SWITCHING" box to display a check mark.
To restore automatic tray switching, press the checked box again to
clear the check mark.
D. General Operation Steps for the Scanner Use
