Several features have been designed into the DocuPrint 4512 to enhance your printing environment. Using the Control Panel menu system, you can tailor printer settings to match your printing requirements.

See

Chapter 3: The Control Panel

Control Panel and its menu system.

The DocuPrint 4512 can print two-sided documents. Duplex printing is as easy as printing a one-sided job.

The DocuPrint 4512 offers two paper trays, each of which can hold up to 250 sheets of paper. When the paper source is set to AUTO SELECT (the factory default), the printer automatically senses the paper size and feeds paper from the appropriate tray according to print instructions from the application software. If both trays contain the same size of paper, the printer gives priority to the lower tray and feeds from there first, effectively giving you a 500-sheet capacity.

You can also install the optional 1000-sheet High Capacity Feeder to further extend your printing capacity.

Switching

When you have installed the PostScript option, the printer can process both PCL and PostScript jobs. When Emulation is set to DocuPrint 4512 samples the incoming data stream to determine which language the print job requires. The DocuPrint 4512 then switch es to the proper language for that job.

The DocuPrint 4512 can have up to two active ports when you install an optional interface card (AppleTalk/Serial Interface, Ethernet or Token Ring). The printer automatically switches between input sources, samples the print job, and switches to the appropriate processing language.

When you have installed the PostScript option and are printing both PostScript and PCL jobs, the printer clears any data in memory when it switches between PostScript and PCL 5e emulations. However, you can

In today’s printing environments, technologies have advanced greatly. Corresponding memory requirements have increased too.

• DocuPrint 4512 printing features such as duplex printing, page protection and state saving, when on, use available printer memory—memory that is otherwise used for processing jobs.

• Downloading fonts also uses available printer memory.

If you plan to print highly complex jobs or need features like state saving and page protection, you may need to add printer memory.

Selecting Paper

Storing Paper

The DocuPrint 4512’s print quality is optimized when paper and other print media are properly stored. Proper storage ensures optimum print quality and trouble-free printer options.

• Store the paper on a flat surface, in a relatively low humidity environment.

• Do not unwrap paper until you are ready to use it, and rewrap any paper you are not using.

• Do not expose paper to direct sunlight or high humidity.

If you get poor results when you change from normal printing on paper to printing on transparency film of the type used for overhead projectors, you should adjust the printer using the print density adjuster , discussed in the section “Adjusting Print Density” (page 2-13).

2-12 ❖

DocuPrint 4512/4512N User Guide

Paper Handling

Adjusting Print

Density

When printing graphics or when printing on media which you do not normally use, you may want to change the density of the toner. Greater toner density gives darker printing, but it also uses more toner, so you will have to replace your Toner Cartridge sooner. You can conserve toner by reducing density when doing draft printing.

There is a dial for adjusting the de nsity of ton er at th e rear of t he printe r, between the fan outlet and the parallel port, as shown in Figure 2.11.

Figure 2.11 Print density adjuster

The symbols on the dial offer approximate indicators of density settings. You may need to experiment before achieving optimum results. Turning the dial fully clockwise gives the greatest density. The toner density setting decreases as you turn the dial counterclockwise.

Automatic Tray

Switching

Automatic tray switching is available for both PCL and PostScript jobs. Tray switching is useful for:

• Increasing paper capacity. When the current paper tray runs out of paper, the printer

automatically switches to the next tray in the sequence, provided the paper in the next tray is the same size as that in the current tray.

• Searching for the correct paper size. If the paper size specified in your software application does not

match the size paper loaded in the current paper tray, the printer automatically searches the next tray in the sequence for a paper size that matches. The default tray is the lowest tray installed.

Selecting Fonts

Selecting fonts is rarely done manually, due to the use of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) application software, which enables you to control the look of your output from the computer monitor.

There may be times, however, when you want to print older text files without going through application software. At such times, you can print files straight to the printer, using the printer’s default font. Any of the printer’s resident fonts can be set as the default, as described in the following section.

Changing the Font

Number Setting

You can set the printer’s default font at the Control Panel. Table 4.5 lists the procedure. The factory default is 0 (zero). The ‘=X’ indicates the current setting, the ‘=N’ indicates a new setting, and the asterisk (*) indicates that the new setting has been entered.

Full pages do not print. Job prematurely terminated. Check that all the data was received from the

Pages too complex (data loss error).

Too many fonts transferred to printer (data memory full error).

Try simplifying the file by using fewer characters per li ne. Turn on page protection and try to print the file again.

Install more memory if you wa nt to print complex files.

Clearing soft fonts will free up memory. When printing without additional memory, avoid using too many soft fonts and macros. Lowering the resolution to 300 dpi will also reduce the memory requirements of a print job. If you are getting a lot of memory error messages, in stall more memory.

Interface cable faulty. Reseat the connectors at both the printer and
