This chapter explains administrator settings 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 system settings (general). 
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 
USB port or network port. The settings consist of the 
following programs:

● HEXADECIMAL DUMP MODE

● I/O TIMEOUT

● USB PORT EMULATION SWITCHING

● NETWORK PORT EMULATION SWITCHING

● PORT SWITCHING METHOD

● ENABLE USB PORT

● ENABLE NETWORK PORT

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 USB port. 
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 "USB 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:

• USB  port
• Network port

The factory default setting is "SWITCH AT END OF 
JOB".

This program is used to enable or disable printing via 
the USB port.
This program is initially enabled (factory default 
setting).

This program is used to enable or disable printing via 
the network port.
This program is initially enabled (factory default 
setting).

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

● IP ADDRESS SETTING

● ENABLE TCP/IP

● ENABLE NetWare

● ENABLE EtherTalk

● ENABLE NetBEUI

● RESET THE NIC

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 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 is initially enabled (factory default setting).

This program must be enabled to use the machine on 
a network that uses NetWare protocol.
This program is initially enabled (factory default setting).

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.

• 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.

This setting is only effective in a  network 
environment that uses Ipv4 TCP/IP protocol. 
To set an IP address on a Ipv6 TCP/IP 
network, use the Web pages. In an IPv6 
environment, the machine can use LPD or 
IPP protocol.

This program must be enabled to use the machine on 
a network that uses EtherTalk protocol.
This program is initially enabled (factory default setting).

This program must be enabled to use the machine on 
a network that uses NetBEUI protocol.
This program is initially enabled (factory default 
setting).

This program is used to restore all network settings to 
the factory default settings.

These programs are used to return the configuration 
settings (See the online manual for network printer) 
and the "PRINT SETTINGS" (p.111) to the factory 
default settings. The programs are also used to store 
the current settings and to restore stored settings.
"INITIALISE AND/OR STORE SETTINGS" consists of 
the following programs:

● RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULTS

● STORE CURRENT CONFIGURATION

● RESTORE CONFIGURATION

This program is used to return the configuration 
settings (see the online manual for network printer) 
and the "PRINT SETTINGS" (p.111) to the factory 
default settings. If you need a record of the current 
settings before restoring the factory defaults, use 
"Data list print" in the system settings (general) to print 
a list of the current settings. (See "5. SYSTEM 
SETTINGS (GENERAL)".)

This program is used to store the current configuration 
settings (see online manual for network printer) and 
"PRINT SETTINGS" (p.111). The stored settings will 
not be erased even if the power is turned off. To 
restore the stored settings, use the "RESTORE 
CONFIGURATION" program.

This program is used to restore settings that were 
stored using the "STORE CURRENT 
CONFIGURATION" program.
The current settings will change to the restored 
settings.

If any of the "NETWORK SETTINGS" 
(p.113) were changed before execution of 
this program, you must turn off the 
machine’s power switch, wait briefly, and 
then turn the switch back on in order to 
make the settings 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.
