USER AUTHENTICATION

When user authentication is enabled, you must log in before using the machine. User authentication is initially disabled. When you have finished using the machine, log out.

User authentication methods

There are two methods for performing user authentication: login by user number and login by login name and password. Ask the administrator of the machine for the information that is required to log in. For details on user authentication, see "USER AUTHENTICATION" in "Chapter 1 - BEFORE USING THE MACHINE" in the Operation Guide.

This method requires that you log in by entering your previously stored user number (5 to 8 digits) with the soft numeric keypad.

BACK

This method requires that you log in by entering your login name, password, and the login destination. Depending on the authentication settings, it may also be necessary to enter your e-mail address.

Logging out

When you have finished using the machine, log out. Logging out prevents unauthorized use of the machine.

How to log out

You can log out from any mode of the machine by pressing the [LOGOUT] key. If a preset duration of time elapses after the machine is last used, the auto clear function will activate. When auto clear activates, logout automatically takes place.

CHANGING PAPER IN A TRAY

Names of the trays

* When loading "Pre-Punched", "Letter Head", or "Pre-Printed" paper in the

paper tray, the direction the print side faces is different. For more information, see "LOADING PAPER" in "Chapter 1 - BEFORE USING THE MACHINE" in the Operation Guide.

Loading paper in a tray

To change the paper in a tray, load the desired paper in the tray and then change the tray settings in the machine to specify the loaded paper. The procedure for changing the tray paper size is explained below. As an example, the paper in tray 1 is changed from 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) size plain paper to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (A5) size recycled paper.

Gently pull out the paper tray. If paper remains in the tray, remove it.

Move the two guides on the tray. For example, move the guides from 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (A5). Adjust the guides to match the paper being loaded. If the guides are too loose, the paper will not be held in place. If the guides are too tight, the paper will bow. Load the paper so that it is not as shown below when viewed from the front and side of the machine.

The loaded paper should not go higher than these protrusions.

Insert the paper with the print side face up. Fan the paper well before inserting it. Otherwise, multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed. Insert the paper and then gently push the tray into the machine.

Indicator line The indicator line indicates the maximum height of the paper that can be loaded in the tray. When loading paper, make sure that the stack is not higher than the indicator line.

Changing the tray settings

When you change the paper in a tray, the tray settings in the system settings must also be changed.

The above steps change the paper settings for tray 1 to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" recycled paper.

Loading paper in bypass tray

Load the paper in the horizontal orientation.

When loading 8-1/2" x 11" size paper, pull out the tray extension. The maximum number of sheets that can be loaded in the bypass tray is approximately 100 for plain paper and approximately 20 for envelopes.

Example: Loading an envelope

The side to be printed on must be face down!

Place paper that is 7-1/4" x 10-1/2" (A5) or smaller in the horizontal orientation.

Do not place heavy objects on the bypass tray or press down on the tray. The bypass tray may be damaged, the machine may topple, and injury may result. Special types of paper that cannot be loaded in other trays can be loaded in the bypass tray. For detailed information on the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY" in "Chapter 1- BEFORE USING THE MACHINE" in the Operation Guide.

Only the address side of envelopes can be printed on. Place envelopes with the address side face down.

PRINTING

Windows

The procedure for selecting settings in the printer driver is explained below using "Fitting the print image to the paper (Fit To Paper Size)" as an example. The Fit To Paper Size function is used to automatically enlarge or reduce the print image to fit the selected paper size. In this example, an invoice-size image will be printed on letter-size paper. The procedures for configuring printer driver settings vary by setting. For

more information on each setting, see "FREQUENTLY USED FUNCTIONS" and "CONVENIENT PRINTING FUNCTIONS" in "Chapter 2 - PRINTNG" in the Operation Guide.

CONVENIENT PRINTER FUNCTIONS

Printing on both sides of the paper (2-sided printing)

Use this function to print on both sides of the paper. You can use 2-sided printing to reduce the number of printed sheets when you are printing a large number of pages or when you wish to conserve paper.

Fitting the print image to the paper (Fit To Paper Size)

Use this function to enlarge or reduce the print image to fit the paper size. This is convenient for such purposes as enlarging an invoice or A5 size document to letter or A4 size paper to make it easier to view, and to print when the same size of paper as the print image is not loaded in the machine.

Invoice Letter

Printing multiple images on one page (N-Up Printing)

Use this function to print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper by reducing the size of the print images. This is convenient when you wish to show an overall view of multiple pages or conserve paper.

3 4

Stapling printed pages (Staple)

Use this function to staple printed output. (When a finisher is installed.)

Printing a color image in grayscale (Black and White Print)

Use this function to print color images in grayscale. This lets you save color toner when color printing is not necessary, such as when you only need to check the contents of a document.

The machine also has these functions

System settings (administrator)

The system settings (administrator)* are system settings that can only be configured by the administrator of the machine. To configure these settings, the administrator password must be entered. However, when user authentication is enabled, users who log in with certain user rights may be able to configure these settings without entering the administrator password. Check with your administrator.

* Although the manuals for the machine indicate system settings that

require administrator rights as "system settings (administrator)", this is only for convenience in explaining the settings. The word "administrator" does not appear in the display or elsewhere on the machine.

For the items of the system settings (administrator), see "Chapter 3 - SYSTEM SETTINGS" in the Operation Guide.
