1 OVERVIEW
Features and Functions
Extensive Client Platform Support
This equipment supports printing from IBM-compatible PC, Macintosh, and UNIX/Linux workstations. Not all features are
supported on all platforms, however.
Various Port Options
You can map this equipment to print to an SMB, IPP, Raw TCP, or LPR port.
Multiple Job Types
Job Types refer to the way this equipment handles a print job.
y Normal mode requires no special handling and is the most frequently used printing mode.
y Scheduled Print lets you specify the time and date at which to print a job.
y Private Print mode allows you to hold a job in the print queue until you enter a password at the touch panel to print the
job.
y Hold Print mode allows you to hold a job in the hold queue until you continue the job from the touch panel.
y Proof Print mode prints the first copy of a multi-copy job and then awaits your approval before printing the remaining
copies.
y Overlay File prints a document element, such as text or graphics, to a file for superimposing on the background of
other documents.
y Store to e-Filing mode allows you to store the printed document in e-Filing.
Professional Finishing Options
Depending on the type of finishing units you have installed on this equipment, you can choose to sort, group, fold, staple
your documents (including saddle-stitching) and punch binding holes.
Sophisticated Document Layout and Assembly Options
You can choose whether to print your document as you have set it up in the application, or to impose printer-driven
document layout options such as printing in Book Format or printing Multiple Pages per Sheet.
Additionally, the printer drivers provide the ability to print selected pages on different media. This includes printing front
and back covers, inserting sheets at predefined positions within the document, or interleaving pages so that every other
page is inserted blank or printed on a different type of media.
Various Sizes of Printing Paper Available
You can use paper larger than the standard sizes defined in the custom paper size setting when you print data created
with applications. (Largest size: 11.70 x 17 inches (297 x 432 mm))
Watermark and Image Overlay Support
Watermarks are a great way to subtly convey useful information about your printed documents. Common watermarks are
[Confidential], [Draft] and [Original]. Several watermarks have been pre-defined for use with your documents, or you can
create and save your own custom watermarks.
Watermarks consist of text. Image Overlays can be any combination of text, graphics or other document elements.
Printing watermarks consumes fewer resources than using Image Overlays, so you should use watermarks wherever
possible, particularly when printing speed is an issue.
This equipment provides the printing function as an option. However, this optional printing function is already installed
in some models.

2 PRINTING FROM WINDOWS
Before Using the Printer Driver
Before printing, you have to configure the following option:
y Configuration Settings
To use optional devices such as optional drawers, Finisher or Hole Punch Unit, you must first configure these devices.
The features of these optional devices are not available unless you tell the system that the optional devices are
installed.
Before printing, you can configure the following option if necessary:
y Department Code
You can use department codes to manage each job. For example, a system administrator can check how many sheets
of copies a certain department has made. When the Department code is enabled, you are prompted to enter a
department code before printing. If you enter the department code in the corresponding field in advance, you can print
without having to do this every time. Ask your administrator about the codes. When SNMP communication between
the equipment and your computer is enabled, you are also prompted to enter the code before printing.
Configuring the options
To use this equipment properly, you need to save the configuration of the options installed on the [Configuration] tab menu
after you install the printer drivers. In the default setting, you can obtain the configuration data of options installed
automatically by opening the [Configuration] tab menu. If SNMP communication between this equipment and your
computer is not available, or you want to configure options manually, see the following page:
P.10 “Configuring options manually”
y If available, select [Manual] of [Enable SNMP Communication] check box on the [Configuration] tab menu, and
then click [Update Now]. You can obtain the configuration data as you click it.
y All the screenshots in this chapter are examples from Windows Vista.
Configuring options manually
If SNMP communication between this equipment and your computer is not available, configure the options manually.
Setting the [Configuration] tab manually
You need to log into Windows with the “Power Users” privilege (only for Windows 2000) or “Administrator” privilege (for
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Server 2003/Server 2008).

Setting the department code
When this equipment is managed with department codes, you have to enter your department code on the printer driver.
This feature allows a network administrator to check the number of copies printed by a specific department. Also users
can check who submitted the print jobs, by touch panel display and monitoring tools.
Ask your administrator whether you should enter the Department Code.
When the User Management Setting is enabled on the equipment, the User Management Setting is used to manage
the print jobs instead of the department code. In that case, the user name that is entered to log in to your computer is
used for the authentication of the print job. Therefore, you do not need to enter the department code in the printer
driver but your user name must be registered in the equipment. If the user name is not registered, your print job is
processed as an invalid job according to the Department Code Enforcement settings.
y How the equipment performs printing for an invalid department code print job, for which an invalid department code
is specified, varies depending on the Department Code Enforcement setting that can be set in the TopAccess
Administrator mode and whether SNMP communication is enabled or not. When SNMP communication is enabled
and Department Code Enforcement is set to [ON], an error message will be displayed when entering an invalid
department code. When SNMP communication is disabled and Department Code Enforcement is set to [ON], the
invalid department code print job will be stored in the invalid department code print job list without printing. When
the Department Code Enforcement is set to [Print], the invalid department code print job will be printed. When the
Department Code Enforcement is set to [Delete], the invalid department code print job will be deleted without
printing.
y A department code needs to be entered every time you begin printing. If you have to use a different department
code for each print job, enter it when you begin printing.

Copying the PPD file for Windows
The Client Utilities CD-ROM contains a printer description file for popular Windows applications. For applications not
allowing the automatic installation of PPD files, copy the PPD file to a proper directory in order to enable printer-specific
settings in the [Print] dialog box or the [Page Setup] dialog box.
Copying the printer description file
In the Client Utilities CD-ROM, open the folder that contains the PS3 printer driver.
1
y For Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Server 2003/Server 2008:
Copy the printer description file (*.ppd) to the appropriate location.
2
For a proper directory to which the PPD file is to be copied, refer to the manual of the application.
14 Before Using the Printer Driver
Printing from an Application
This section describes how to print a document from an application.
P.15 “Considerations and limitations”
P.16 “How to print”
Considerations and limitations
y When the User Management Setting is enabled on the equipment, the user name that is entered to log in to your
computer is used for the authentication of the print job. Therefore, your user name must be registered in the
equipment. If the user name is not registered, your print job is processed as an invalid job according to the Department
Code Enforcement settings.
When the Windows Domain Authentication is used for the User Management Setting, your computer must log into the
domain.
y Some print options can be set from both the application and the printer driver, such as collation. If the collation is set
from the application, documents may not be properly printed. If that happens, use the printer driver to set the collation.
Depending on the application, some print options such as the orientation need to be set from the application. For print
options that can be set from both the application and the driver, refer to the manual of the application.
About “Use PostScript Passthrough”
y When printing with the PS3 printer driver from Adobe Acrobat, the Fit to Paper enlargement feature does not work if
the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option is enabled in the PostScript settings of the PS3 printer driver. To use the Fit to
Paper enlargement feature, disable the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option in the PostScript settings of the PS3
printer driver.
y When printing with the PS3 printer driver from an application that creates the PostScript code for printing such as

proof job queue on this equipment, which are not printed until you activate printing from the touch panel display.
This option allows you to check a job’s output before printing the remaining copies and thereby reduces paper
waste.
When you want to print multiple copies, each of which is to be sent as an individual print job by your application, all
the copies, not just one copy, will be printed even if you set Proof Print. In such a case, print just one trial copy first,
and then specify the required number of copies on the touch panel display.
- Print to Overlay File
Select this option to save the print job as an overlay file that is imposed on other documents. When you select this
option, click the button on the right and enter the file name.
For example, if you want to print a master page image on the background of a document, you can create an
overlay file of the master merge image using this option. Then you can print a document using this overlay by
specifying this file as an overlay image in the [Overlay Image] option of the [Effect] tab.
