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.

yNormal mode requires no special handling and is the most frequently used printing mode.

yScheduled Print lets you specify the time and date at which to print a job.

yPrivate 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.

yProof Print mode prints the first copy of a multi-copy job and then awaits your approval before printing the remaining copies.

yStore to e-Filing mode allows you to store the printed document in e-Filing.

yOverlay 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:

yConfiguration 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.

yDepartment 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

If SNMP communication between this equipment and your computer is not available.

Setting the configuration tab manually

You need to log in Windows with the “Power Users” privilege (only for Windows 2000) or “Administrator” privilege (for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003).

P.58 “Drawer Settings”

7 Click [Apply] and [OK] to save settings.

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.

yWhen 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.

yIf 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.

yHow 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.

yA 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

yWhen 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.

yIf 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.

ySome 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.

About "Use PostScript Passthrough"

yWhen 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, please disable the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option in the PostScript settings of the PS3 printer driver.

yWhen printing with the PS3 printer driver from the application that creates the PostScript code for printing such as Adobe Acrobat, the following print options may not work correctly. In that case, please disable the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option in the PostScript settings of the PS3 printer driver.

When you select this, 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.

-Proof Print

Select this to print the first copy of a multicopy job and then wait for approval before printing the remaining copies. The print job, sent as a proof job, is saved in the proof job queue on this equipment, and the remaining copies 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 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.

-Print to Overlay File

Select this to save the print job as an overlay file that is imposed on other documents. When you select this, 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.

yIf the print job has several pages in the document, only the first page of the document will be saved as an overlay file.

yBoth the overlay file and the documents on which you superimpose the overlay image must be created at the same size, color mode.

yWhen 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.

-Store to e-Filing

Select this to save a job to an e-Filing. When this is selected, select the box from the box after the print setting has been finished. When the SNMP commutation is enabled, it detects the available box numbers and Box name in the box. If not, all box numbers are listed in the box.

If you select a user box, you may be required to enter the appropriate password for the selected box. The job saved to a box can be printed from the Touch Panel Display at a later time. It can also be composed with other documents using the e-Filing web utility.

You can also print a job and save it to a box by checking on the [Print] option.
