1 OVERVIEW

Features and Functions

Extensive Client Platform Support
This equipment supports printing from IBM-compatible PC, Macintosh, and UNIX 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 copier touch panel to
print the job.
y Proof Print mode prints the first copy of a multi-copy job and then awaits your approval before printing the remaining
copies.
y Store to e-Filing mode allows you to store the printed document in e-Filing. y Overlay File prints a document element, such as text or graphics, to a file for superimposing on the background of
other documents.
Professional Finishing Options
Depending on the type of finishing units you have installed on this equipment, you can choose to sort, group, fold and 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: 12.00 x 47.24 inches (305 x 1200 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.

Before Using the Printer Driver

Before printing, you have to configure the following options:
y Configuration Settings
You have to configure such options as optional drawers, finisher, and hole punch unit. The features of these optional devices are not available unless you tell the system that the optional devices are installed.
y Department Code
This system can manage jobs by department code. This feature lets you manage job counters for every department code. For example, a network administrator can check the number of copies printed by a specific department member. If the Department Code is enabled, enter your Department Code provided by your administrator.

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 installed the printer drivers. In the default setting, you can obtain the configuration data of options installed automatically by opening the [Configuration] tab menu. If you want to configure options manually, see the following page:
y If SNMP communication between this equipment and your computer is not available, configure options manually.
P.10 “Configuring options manually”
If available, select [Manual] of [Enable SNMP Communication] on the [Configuration] tab menu, and then click [Update Now]. You can obtain the configuration data as you click it.
Configuring options manually

Setting the Department Code

When this equipment is managed by department codes, you have to enter your department code on the printer driver. This allows a network administrator to check the number of copies printed by specific department members. Also users can check to see who submitted the print jobs, by using the Touch Panel Display and monitoring tools. Please ask your administrator whether or not you should enter the Department Code.
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 the invalid job according to the Department Code Enforcement settings.
y If the No Limit Black function is enabled, you do not have to specify the department code when you print a
document with [Black and White] selected for the [Color] box in the Basic tab of printer driver.
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 can 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.

Printing from 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 the 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 in the domain.
y If the No Limit Black function is enabled, you do not have to specify the department code when you print a document
with selecting [Black and White] in the [Color] option in the Basic tab of printer driver.
y Some options listed in the printer driver can also be set from an application (for example, collation). However, using
collation in the application may cause problems. In that case, use the driver option to perform the function, rather than setting it from the application. Depending on the application, settings such as the orientation may need to be set in the application, or the printer driver, or both. The application may not set up the file properly for printing on this equipment and may also take longer to process. In order to print properly from the application that you are using, please see the section about printing in the application’s manual.

This option allows you to check a job’s output before printing the remaining copies and thereby reduce paper waste.
When printing from an application that sends a separate job for each number of copies, this equipment will print all copies even if you set the Proof Print. In that case, set one copy for the number of copies for a proof print job in the printer driver, and then change the number of copies from the Control Panel to print required copies of the print job.

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 If the print job has several pages in the document, only the first page of the document will be saved as an
overlay file.
y Both the overlay file and the documents on which you superimpose the overlay image must be created at the
same size, color mode.
y When creating an overlay file using the PS3 printer driver from an application that can create the PS command
directly, the overlay file will not be created properly. In that case, disable the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option in the PostScript Settings dialog box. P.53 “PostScript Settings”

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.

For example, to check the navigation path of a number of web pages or review the narrative of a slide presentation, using N-up is not only convenient but conserves paper as well.
If you are using the Image Overlay feature in combination with N-up printing, the overlay prints once per sheet, rather than once per page.

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.80 “Printing on Tab Paper” P.82 “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 inner tray.
y This equipment can print only on the Letter sized or A4 sized tab paper. 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 separated job for each page so that this equipment performs cleaning before printing the next tab paper.
y When printing tab paper, the tab paper may be caught in the exit of the inner tray because the roller failed to deliver
the tab extension to the exit. In that 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.
