This chapter explains the key operator programs that are used for copy mode.

"COPY SETTINGS" consists of the following 
programs:

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

The copy settings revert to the default settings when 
the power switch is turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] 
key (

) is pressed, or when the auto clear time 

elapses. This program is used to change the default 
settings, or return changed default settings to the initial 
factory default settings.
Defaults for the following copy settings can be 
changed:

• Paper tray

• Exposure mode

• Copy ratio

• Duplex function

• Post-processing functions (non-sort, sort, staple 

sort, and group)

When this program is enabled, the original image is 
automatically rotated 90 degrees in the event that the 
original and the paper are in different orientations. 
(Rotation can only take place when auto paper 
selection and auto ratio selection are used.)

This program is used to adjust the exposure level 
when "Auto" is used for the copy exposure.
The auto exposure level can be set separately for the 
document glass and REVERSING SINGLE PASS 
FEEDER.
[1] is the lightest level and [5] is the darkest level.

This program is used to select the paper type* that is 
used when the automatic paper selection function 
operates. "PLAIN PAPER" or "PLAIN AND RECYCLE 
PAPER" can be selected. Auto paper selection can 
also be disabled with this program.
* The paper type set for each tray in the tray settings of 

the user settings.

This program is used to set the maximum number of 
copies that are allowed per original.
Any number from 1 to 999 can be set for the 
maximum.

This program can be used to disable automatic 
selection of the sort function.

This program is used to prevent copy settings stored in 
job programs from being changed or deleted.

If this program is used to change the default 
setting for the duplex function to 
"one-sided"

"(other than one-sided)" and 

the REVERSING SINGLE PASS FEEDER 
fails or is disabled, the setting will revert to 
"one-sided"

"one-sided".

* DISABLING OF DOCUMENT FEEDER (p.12)

This chapter explains key operator programs that are used for the printer function. These programs can only be 
configured on models that have the printer function.

These programs allow you to change certain default 
settings for the printer function.
The "DEFAULT SETTINGS" consist of the following 
programs:

●

PROHIBIT NOTICE PAGE PRINTING

●

PRINT DENSITY LEVEL

●

PROHIBIT TEST PAGE PRINTING

●

ROTATED PRINT

●

FORCED OUTPUT OF PRINT

●

EXCLUDE BYPASS-TRAY FROM ATS

●

DISABLE DEFAULT SETTING CHANGES

This program is used to prohibit the printing of notice 
pages. For an explanation of notice pages, see "If a 
Notice Page is printed" in the online manual for printer.

The print density can be set to one of five different 
levels. [1] is the lightest level and [5] is the darkest 
level.

This program is used to prohibit the printing of test 
pages.
When the program is enabled, a test page cannot be 
printed from the user settings. (See the operation 
manual for copier)

This program is used to enable or disable rotation of 
the print image when an A4R, B5R, or 8-1/2 x 11R 
(Letter R) document is being printed but there is no 
paper loaded in that orientation.

This program is used to enable or disable automatic 
printing on a different size of paper when no paper 
trays have the selected size of paper.

This program is used to exclude paper in the bypass 
tray when automatic paper selection is used. 

This program is used to prevent the configuration 
setting defaults from being changed.

SETTINGS

The "INTERFACE SETTINGS" are used to monitor 
and set limits for the data that is sent to the machine’s 
parallel port, USB port, or network port. The settings 
consist of the following programs:

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

This program is used to print out the print data from the 
computer in hexadecimal and in the corresponding text 
characters (based on ASCII code). This allows you to 
check whether or not print data is being correctly sent 
from the computer.

Example of output in hexadecimal dump mode (A4 
portrait)

This program is used to set the amount of time until I/O 
timeout when waiting for print data.
In the event that the set amount of time elapses 
without the port receiving any print data, the I/O 
timeout function temporarily breaks the port 
connection and intiates automatic port selection or 
makes the port begin waiting for the next set of print 
data.

This program is used to set the printer language when 
the machine is connected using the parallel port.
The factory default setting is "AUTO".

This program is used to set the printer language when 
the machine is connected using the USB port. The 
selections are the same as for "PARALLEL PORT 
EMULATION SWITCHING".
The factory default setting is "PCL*".
* When the PS3 expansion kit is installed, the setting is 

"AUTO".

This program is used to set the printer language when 
the machine is connected using the USB port. The 
selections are the same as for "PARALLEL PORT 
EMULATION SWITCHING". The factory default 
setting is "AUTO".

AUTO

The printer language is 
automatically changed to match 
the data received from the 
computer.

PostScript
(When the PS3 
EXPANSION 
KIT is installed)

The data received from the 
computer is printed using 
PostScript.

PCL

The data received from the 
computer is printed using PCL.

This program is used to set the method for switching 
printer ports.
The machine can use the following three printer ports:

• Parallel port
• USB  port
• Network port

This program is used to enable or disable printing via 
the parallel port.

This program is used to enable or disable printing via 
the USB port.

This program is used to enable or disable printing via 
the network port.

Enable this program when you wish to use ECP mode 
on the parallel port.

The NETWORK SETTINGS are used when the 
machine is used as a network printer. The "NETWORK 
SETTINGS" consist of the following programs:

●

●

●

ENABLE NetWare *

●

●

ENABLE NetBEUI *

●

* When the PRINT SERVER CARD is installed.

This program is used to set the IP address (IP 
address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway) of the machine 
when TCP/IP protocol is used on the network.
When "DHCP" is selected, the machine will obtain an 
IP address automatically. This is the factory default 
setting.
When the print server card is installed and the 
machine is used on a TCP/IP network, be sure to 
enable the "ENABLE TCP/IP" program.

This program must be enabled to use the machine on 
a TCP/IP network. "IP ADDRESS SETTING" must 
also be configured.

This program must be enabled to use the machine on 
a network that uses NetWare protocol.

This program must be enabled to use the machine on 
a network that uses EtherTalk protocol.

SWITCH AT 
END OF JOB

Automatic printer port selection 
at the end of each print job.

SWITCH AFTER 
I/O TIMEOUT

Automatic printer port selection if 
the time set in "I/O TIMEOUT" 
elapses.

Consult your network administrator 
before configuring the NETWORK 
SETTINGS.

• After changing the settings, you must turn 

off the machine’s power switch, wait 
briefly, and then turn the switch back on in 
order to make the changes take effect.

• Some programs in the following are 

marked by "*1". This indicates that a 
message will appear at the end of the 
setting procedure asking you to confirm 
execution of the new setting. If needed, 
you can cancel the new setting by 
touching the [NO] key.
