INTRODUCTION

This manual explains the procedures for using the printer function of the machine.

See the table below to determine which printer driver to use in your environment.

Environment Printer driver type Remarks

PCL6, PCL5e*

The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5e printer control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer driver. If you have a problem printing from older software using the PCL6 printer driver, use the PCL5e printer driver.

Windows

Macintosh

Using the machine in a Windows environment

The machine is equipped standard with a printer function that can be used with a computer or network connection* To use the PS printer driver, the PS3 expansion kit must be installed. For the procedures for installing the printer driver in a Windows environment and configuring printer driver settings, see "SETUP IN A WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT" in the software setup guide. *1 The MX-M350U/M450U is equipped standard with a printer function that uses a USB cable connection. To

connect the machine to a Windows network, the network expansion kit must be installed.

*The PCL5e printer driver cannot be available in some countries.

This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and enables the machine to be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer. (A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS printer driver.)

Can be used in the standard machine configuration.

The PS3 expansion kit must be installed.

NOTE

The explanations in this manual of printing in a Windows environment generally use the screens of the PCL6 printer driver (MX-M450N). The printer driver screens may differ slightly depending on the printer driver that you are using.

Using the machine in a Macintosh environment

To use the machine as a network printer in a Macintosh environment, the network function of the machine must be useable* For the procedures for installing the printer driver in a Macintosh environment and configuring printer driver settings, see "SETUP IN A MACINTOSH ENVIRONMENT" in the software setup guide. *2 When using the MX-M350U/M450U, the network expansion kit must be installed.

For other functions, see the following manuals.

The number of holes that can be punched and the spacing between the holes varies depending on the installed punch module.

• The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled when a saddle stitch finisher is installed is 50 (25 when a finisher is installed) for A4, letter, and B5 sizes. The maximum number of sheets is 25 for other sizes. To staple horizontally fed paper, a saddle stitch finisher is required. In this case, the maximum number of sheets that can be stapled is 50 for A4R and letter R sizes, or 25 for all other sizes. For pamphlet stapling, the maximum number of sheets is 10. The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled at once includes any covers and/or inserts that are inserted.

• The staple function cannot be used in combination with the offset function, which offsets the position of each output job from the previous job.

• When the finisher is disabled in the machine's administrator settings, the staple function and punch function cannot be used.

• When the staple function or the punch function is disabled in the machine's administrator settings, stapling or punching is not possible.

DESCRIPTION OF SETTINGS

The administrator settings related to the printer function are explained here.

Printer settings

■ Default settings

These settings are used to adjust the settings of various printer functions. The following items can be configured in the "Default settings".

● Prohibit notice page printing

● Print density level

● Prohibit test page printing

● A4/letter size auto change

● Print hold setting*

Prohibit notice page printing

This setting is used to disable notice page printing. Turn on this setting when you do not want the machine to print the notice page explained in "NOTICE PAGE PRINTING" on page 10-5 Normally this setting is set to not print a notice page.

Print density level

This setting 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.

Print hold setting*

This setting is used to prohibit or allow the print hold job function, which is used by selecting "Hold Only", "Hold After Print", or "Sample Print" when printing a print job. When a print hold job cannot be retrieved because the user has forgotten the password, the administrator can delete the job in place of the user. When "DISABLING OF PRINT HOLD FUNCTION" is selected, the print hold job function is disabled and the "DELETE ALL HOLD DATA" key does not appear in the base screen of print mode. However, when print hold jobs are stored in the machine, this program cannot be enabled until all of the print hold jobs have been deleted. The program is normally disabled (the print hold function is enabled). When "DELETE THE HOLD DATA BY ENTERING ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD INSTEAD OF PASSCODE" is selected, an administrator can use the administrator password to delete a print hold job in place of the user. Note, however, that the key operator cannot print the jobs. *1 Can only be used when the network expansion kit

(with hard drive) is not installed.

Prohibit test page printing

This setting is used to disable test page printing. When the setting is turned on, the PRINTER TEST PAGE in the system settings cannot be printed. (See page 2-14 of the operation manual (for general information and copier operation))

A4/letter size auto change

If this setting 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.

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 8-1/2" x 11" size paper is not installed in the printer, printing cannot be done without operator intervention. If this setting is set, printing will be executed without intervention if a paper tray is loaded with A4 paper.

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 administrator settings (see "PROHIBIT NOTICE PAGE PRINTING" on page 8-5 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 administrator settings, 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.
