Tray Change Procedure:

1. Press 

the 

“ONLINE/OFFLINE” key on the touch panel (Figure 4-1) to set the printer to an offline

state.

2.  Press the “PAPER SELECT” key to select the desired paper tray.

3. Press 

the 

“ONLINE/OFFLINE” key to return the printer to an online state.  The printer will begin

printing from the selected tray.

Selecting a tray containing a different size or orientation of paper than that specified by the computer may result in

the pages being clipped to fit the physical paper size.

Note that using the “PAPER SELECT” key to select a new paper tray overrides any selection previously made using
the printer driver configuration menus.

To interrupt a print job while the printer is printing, press the “ONLINE/OFFLINE” key on the touch
panel (Figure 4-1). The printer will go off line and stop printing.  A message will appear on the touch
panel. To resume printing, press the “ONLINE/OFFLINE” key again to return the printer to the
online status.  The printer will go online and resume printing.

While the printer is in the offline mode, the print job can be canceled by pressing the CLEAR key.
Lastly, press the “ONLINE/OFFLINE” key to return the printer to online status. Now the printer is
ready for the next print job.

A variety of key operator programs are available which allow a key operator to adjust certain printer
features, functions, or operating conditions. These programs are listed in this section. (Refer to
Table 4-1.)

Key operator programs governing printer features and functions can be called in the same manner
as the key operator programs governing copier features.

For general information on accessing key operator
programs, including registration of a key operator
code number, refer to the 

Key Operator’s Guide in

the copier manual.

If the printer expansion kit has been installed, the
“PRINTER” key will be displayed on the touch panel
after the key operator code number is entered.
Press the “PRINTER” key to access the key
operator programs for the printer features.

This program is used to adjust the lightness or darkness of documents in the printer mode. The
factory default is level ‘3’.

When the “PRINTER EXPOSURE LEVEL” key is pressed, the following display will appear.

1.  Set the desired density level using the

“

” and “

” keys.

2.  Press the “OK” key.

KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS

PRINTER EXPOSURE LEVEL

This program is used to specify the percentage of document memory allocated to storage of printer
jobs. In the default setting, the memory capacity for printer jobs is 30% (60 pages for A4 or 8-1/2" x
11"). To print documents that exceed this limit, increase the percentage using this program.

When the “MEMORY RESERVED FOR PRINTER” key is pressed, the following display will appear.

This program can be used only for models with a 1 GB hard disk drive. For models with a 2 GB hard disk drive or no

hard disk drive, this program cannot be used.

1.  Select the desired percentage.

2.  Press the “OK” key.

If ‘30%’ is specified, the maximum number of pages in a block is 60 for A4, letter or smaller sizes. If ‘60%’ is
specified, the maximum number is 120 for A4, letter or smaller sizes.
Since the memory in this printer is used for both copier and printer features, the setting of this program will affect
copying performance. Assign an appropriate value.

When multiple sets of a document have been requested and the document memory cannot hold the
entire document, this program gives the option to print one set or multiple sets as illustrated on
page 38.

When the “OUTPUT METHOD WHEN MEMORY IS FULL” key is pressed, the following display will
appear.

1. Select 

“1 SET” or “MULTI-SET”.

2.  Press the “OK” key.

When the document memory becomes full of print job pages, the printer will start printing the data which have been

stored in the memory. If multiple sets of the document have been requested and “MULTI-SET” is specified with this
program, the sets will be printed as shown below. Each set of printed sheets will be stacked offset from the previous
set. Finally, the printer will output a notice page unless it is prohibited with a key operator program.

Example: One set of 120-page document is

printed in 60-page blocks.

Example: Two sets of 120-page document are

printed in 60-page blocks.

This program is used to enable or disable paper size detection of the bypass tray in the printer
mode. This setting does not affect the paper size detection in the copier mode.

To enable paper size detection of the bypass tray in the printer mode, press the “ENABLE
BYPASS-TRAY SIZE DETECTION” box to display a check mark.

To disable paper size detection, press the checked box again to clear the check mark.

If size detection of the bypass tray is disabled, paper in the bypass tray will always be treated as the largest allowable
size paper (either 11" x 17" or A3). If an image larger than the paper in the bypass tray is printed, a malfunction may
occur. Be careful when disabling the size detection.

This program is used to specify whether a notice page and separator sheets will be printed when
the printer memory becomes full and divided printing must be performed. If notice page printing has
been enabled, a notice page will be printed at the end of a print job and separator sheets will be
printed between each block letting the user know that the job has been divided into blocks and the
user must re-stack the document.

To prohibit notice page printing, press the “PROHIBIT NOTICE PAGE PRINTING” box to display a
check mark.

To restore notice page printing, press the checked box again to clear the check mark.
