This program is used to change the key operator code 
that must be entered to configure the key operator 
programs. When the machine is first used, the key 
operator (adminstrator of the machine) should change 
the key operator code that was set at the factory to the 
desired 5-digit code. (A number that has been 
programmed as an account number cannot be used.) 
Only one key operator code can be programmed.
The factory default setting for the key operator code is 

.

Use these programs to enter the product keys for the 
following options.

This program is used to enter the product key that 
enables the machine to be used as a PostScript 
printer. Ask your dealer for the product key.

This program is used to enter the product key for the 
network scanner function. Ask your dealer for the 
product key.

This program is used to enter the product key for 
E-MAIL ALERT AND STATUS, which enables 
customer product support via a network system. Ask 
your dealer for the product key.

Use this program to display the serial number of the 
machine. The serial number is required when 
obtaining product keys for PS3 EXPANSION KIT, 
NETWORK SCANNER EXPANSION KIT and the 
E-MAIL ALERT AND STATUS.

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

"COPY SETTINGS" consists of the following 
programs:

● INITIAL STATUS SETTINGS

● ROTATION COPY SETTING

● EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT

● AUTO PAPER SELECTION SETTING

● SETTING A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF COPIES

● SORT AUTO SELECT

● DISABLING DELETION OF JOB PROGRAMS

● CARD SHOT SETTINGS

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)
*Settings for the post-processing functions vary 

depending on whether or not a FINISHER is 
installed.

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 automatic ratio selection are used.)
This program is initially enabled (factory default 
setting).

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 RSPF.
[1] is the lightest level and [5] is the darkest level.
The factory default settings are as follows:

• Document glass: 3
• Document feeder: 3

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 factory default setting is "PLAIN PAPER".
* The paper type set for each tray in the tray settings of 

the user settings. (See "CUSTOM SETTINGS" in the 
operation manual for copier.)

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.
The factory default setting is "999".

This program can be used to disable automatic 
selection of the sort function.
This program is initially enabled (factory default 
setting).

This program is used to prevent copy settings stored in 
job programs from being changed or deleted.
This program is initially disabled (factory default 
setting).

This program is used to set the initial original card size 
for the card shot function. Entry of the X dimension 
(width) is initially selected. Touch the keys to enter the 
Y dimension (length) in the same way. To have "FIT 
TO PAGE" be initially selected when the card shot 
screen is opened, touch the [FIT TO PAGE] key.

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

"one-sided" and the RSPF 

fails or is disabled, the setting will revert to 
"one-sided"

"one-sided".

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.
This program is initially disabled (factory default 
setting).

The print density can be set to one of five different 
levels. [1] is the lightest level and [5] is the darkest 
level.
The factory default setting is "3".

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 initially disabled (factory default 
setting).

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 initially enabled (factory default 
setting).

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 initially disabled (factory default 
setting).

This program is used to exclude paper in the bypass 
tray when automatic paper selection is used. 
This program is initially enabled (factory default 
setting).

This program is used to prevent the configuration 
setting defaults from being changed.
This program is initially disabled (factory default 
setting).

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:

● HEXADECIMAL DUMP MODE

● I/O TIMEOUT

● PARALLEL PORT EMULATION SWITCHING

● USB PORT EMULATION SWITCHING

● NETWORK PORT EMULATION SWITCHING

● PORT SWITCHING METHOD

● ENABLE PARALLEL PORT

● ENABLE USB PORT

● ENABLE NETWORK PORT

● ENABLE ECP

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.
This program is initially disabled (factory default 
setting).

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.
The factory default settings are as follows:

• 180 (sec.)
• When the PRINTER EXPANSION KIT is installed: 

60 (sec.)

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.
