The key operator programs related to the printer function are explained here.

These programs are used to adjust the settings of
various printer functions.

This program is used to disable notice page printing.
Turn on this program when you do not want the
machine to print the notice page explained in "NOTICE
PAGE PRINTING" on 

Normally this program is set to not print a notice page.

This program is used to adjust the lightness or
darkness of prints.
Five levels are provided for density adjustment. These
are represented by numbers displayed on the touch
panel. Among the displayed numbers, a smaller value
indicates lighter density and a larger value indicates a
darker density.

This program is used to disable test page printing.
When the program is turned on, the PRINTER TEST
PAGE in the custom settings cannot be printed. (See
page 2-15 of "Operation manual (for general
information and copier operation)")

If this program is set, and printing onto 8-1/2" x 11" size
paper is selected but not available, the printer will
automatically substitute A4 size paper in place of
8-1/2" x 11" paper if A4 paper is available.
* 8-1/2" x 11" paper cannot be automatically selected in

place of A4.

These programs are used to control data transmitted to
the parallel port, USB port or network port of this
printer.

This program is used to output the print data from a
computer in the hexadecimal dump format with
corresponding characters (ASCII). This program is
used to check proper transmission of print data from
the computer to the printer.

Output example of hexadecimal dump mode

This program is used to set the length of time to wait for
an I/O to complete a job on the parallel port or the
network port. If the data stream to the port does not
transmit data for a length of time exceeding the
timeout, the job will cancel and the next job will start
processing.
The I/O timeout setting is used to set the amount of time
after which an I/O timeout will occur when waiting for
print data.
Default setting: 20 seconds

NOTE
When 8-1/2" x 11" size is specified for a document
attached to an E-mail that has been transmitted from
a foreign country and A4 size paper is not installed in
the printer, printing cannot be done without operator
intervention. If this program is set, printing will be
executed without intervention if a paper tray is
loaded with A4 paper.

NOTE
The allowable range of the time is 1 to 999 seconds.

This program is used to enable or disable printing from
the parallel port.
Default setting: Enable

This program is used to specify a printer language to
emulate when the printer is connected to a computer
through the parallel port.

This program is used to enable or disable printing from
the USB port.
Default setting: Enable

If the machine is connected using the USB port, select
the emulated printer language.
The setting items are the same as those of "Parallel
port emulation swiching".

This program is used to enable or disable printing from
the network port.
Default setting: Enable

This program is used to specify a printer language to
emulate when the printer is connected to a computer
through the network port.
The setting items are the same as those of "Parallel
port emulation switching".

The machine can use the three ports shown below for
printing. This program is used to select when switching
between ports will take place. "SWITCH AT END OF
JOB" or "SWITCH AFTER I/O TIMEOUT" can be
selected. When "SWITCH AT END OF JOB" is
selected, the port will be automatically selected after
each print job is completed. When "SWITCH AFTER
I/O TIMEOUT" is selected, the port will be
automatically selected if the time set in the I/O Timeout
program elapses.

● Parallel port 
● USB port
● Network port

This is used to enable bi-directional communication
through the Centronix interface. 
Select "Parallel port ECP setting" to enable data
transmission both from the computer to the printer and
from the printer to the computer. 
Normally ECP mode is not selected.

Setting items

Description

Auto

The printer language will switch
automatically in accordance with the
data from the computer.

PostScript

PostScript emulation is used to print
the data from the computer. (An
optional PS3 expansion kit is
needed.)

PCL

PCL emulation is used to print the
data from the computer.

NOTE
It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting)
unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

NOTE
It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting)
unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

NOTE
It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting)
unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

These programs are set when this product is used as a
network printer. 
After you complete the setting for one program, you
must exit the key operator programs, turn off the main
switch, wait briefly, and then turn on the main switch
again before any other programs can be set. The
program that was set will be effective after the power is
turned on.

When using this product in a network that uses the
TCP/IP protocol, use this program to set the IP address
(IP address, IP subnet mask, and IP gateway) of this
product. The program is set to ENABLE DHCP by
factory default setting, which obtains the IP address
setting automatically. When using this product on a
TCP/IP network, be sure to turn on the "Enable
TCP/IP" program below.

When using this product in a network that uses the
TCP/IP protocol, set this program. Also set the IP
address using the program "IP address setting" above.
Default setting: Enable

When using this product in a network that uses the
NetWare protocol, set this program.
Default setting: Enable

When using this product in a network that uses the
EtherTalk protocol, set this program.
Default setting: Enable

When using this product in a network that uses the
NetBEUI protocol, set this program.
Default setting: Enable

This program is used to reset all setting items of NIC
(Network Interface Card) of this product to the factory
default settings.

This setting is used to configure the IP address and
port number of the client printer when you wish to have
two machines (which are used as TCP/IP network
printers) print in tandem.
The factory default setting for the port number is
[50001]. Unless you experience difficulty with this
setting, it does not need to be changed.
The tandem function can also be prohibited, or the
reception of tandem data from the other machine can
be prohibited. (Normally this is not necessary.)
To prohibit the tandem function, select "DISABLING
OF MASTER MACHINE MODE".
To prohibit reception of tandem data from the other
machine, select "DISABLING OF SLAVE MACHINE
MODE". 

NOTE
For setting and modification of "Network settings",
be sure to consult with the network administrator.

If DHCP is used, the IP address assigned to the
machine may be changed automatically on occasion.
If this happens, printing will not be possible.

NOTE
If any of the [NETWORK SETTINGS] were changed
prior to execution of this program, you must turn off
the power switch after exiting the key operator
program, wait briefly, and then turn on the power
switch to make the factory default settings take
effect.

NOTE
To use the tandem function when auditing mode is
enabled, the same account number must be entered
on both machines. If the same account number is not
entered, only the server machine may print or the
printed pages may not be added to the correct
account.

This chapter provides solutions to problems you may encounter when
using the machine. Be sure to read this chapter whenever you
encounter a problem.
