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.

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
Adobe Acrobat, the following print options may not work correctly. In that case, disable the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option in the PostScript settings of the PS3 printer driver.

When you select this option, enter a password using the alphanumeric characters and symbol characters (ASCII code characters between 0x21 to 0x7E) in the [Password] box that is displayed after the print settings have been made and the print job is sent. The password must be between 1 and 63 characters. The print job, sent as a private job, is saved in the private job queue on this equipment, and is not printed until you activate printing from the touch panel display. This option is useful when you want to print a confidential document that is secured by a password. The user has to enter the password to print the private job when activating printing from the touch panel display.
The private print function can be used when the user management setting is disabled on the equipment.
- Hold Print
The print job, sent as a hold job, is saved in the hold job queue on this equipment. To perform printing, select the desired job on the touch panel display and press [PRINT]. This option is useful to prevent you from forgetting to remove printed sheets.
- Proof Print
Select this option to print the first copy of a multicopy job and then wait for approval before printing the remaining copies. If a print job is sent as a proof job, one copy of the job is printed and the remaining copies are saved in the 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.

y 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 If the number of the printed sheets for a print job exceeds the output limitation for the entered department code,
the print job is stored in the invalid department code print job list without printing. When you want to print the print job, perform printing from [JOB STATUS] on the touch panel by entering another department code for which the output limitation is more than the number of printed sheets.
How the equipment performs printing for an invalid department code print job, which an invalid department code is specified, varies depending on the Department Code Enforcement setting that can be set from 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.

Making a booklet
Printing in normal booklet mode produces a document that, when folded, becomes a properly paginated booklet or magazine-style publication. You can even create bound booklets that are folded and stapled in the center. For example, if you create a document on letter-size paper (8½ x 11 inches) and then print in booklet mode, the yield is a 5½-x-8½- inch booklet. Each page has been scaled to fit on half a sheet and reordered so that the booklet is properly paginated when folded. To retain your original document size when printing booklets, select the booklet size to be the same as your original document size. Then, your 8½- inch document is printed on ledger size paper (11 x 17 inches) and reordered so that, when folded, the yield is an 8½-x-11-inch booklet. You can select from the following page-size options when printing a tiled booklet:
y Letter Booklet on Ledger y A4 Booklet on A3 y B5 Booklet on B4

Printing with an overlay file
Using image overlays ensures that widely-used images are readily available and consistently reproduced.

Using various types of paper

This equipment allows you to print on various types of paper. The procedure below is for print jobs which require precautions before placing paper.
P.76 “Printing on tab paper” P.78 “Printing on paper larger than standard sizes”
Printing on tab paper
This equipment supports tab printing, which can print in the tab extension of the tab paper. The job will be output in the exit tray.
y This equipment can print only on the Letter sized or A4 sized tab paper. y If the document for tab printing is not created properly or the Image Shift Width is not set properly, the image will not
be printed in the correct position within the tab extension. Make sure to create the document and set the Image Shift Width correctly.
y If mis-printing occurs while multiple tab pages are printed continuously, toner may adhere to the reverse side of
paper. To avoid this, it is recommended to print tab paper as a separate job for each page so that this equipment performs cleaning before printing the next tab paper.
y When printing the tab paper, it may be caught in the exit in the exit tray because the roller to deliver the tab
extension does not exist. In this case, remove the tab paper before printing the next job.
Printing a document on tab paper
Create a Letter sized or A4 sized document and place the text or object that should
1
appear on the tab extension as described below.
