PRINTER/SCANNER FUNCTIONS

The machine includes a USB 1.1 port and a parallel port as standard equipment.

A computer can be connected to these ports to use the machine as a printer or a scanner.

When the dual function board is used, the following functions can be used in addition to the standard printer/scanner functions.

High-speed data transfer (when connected to a USB 2.0 port)

ROPM* function

Automatic rotation printing

To use the machine as a printer or scanner, the printer driver or scanner driver must first be installed as explained in the "Software Setup Guide".

*ROPM is an acronym for "Rip Once Print Many" processing. The ROPM function stores multiple pages of print data in memory before printing. When printing multiple copies, this eliminates the need for the computer to repeatedly transmit the print data.

If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see "TROUBLESHOOTING". (p.52)

Note

Two printer drivers are provided for the machine: a standard printer driver and a printer driver that is used when

 

the dual function board is installed. Install the correct printer driver depending on whether or not the dual

 

function board is installed. If the correct printer driver is not installed, printing may not take place correctly. (See

 

the "Software Setup Guide" for information on installing the printer drivers.)

When using USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode), be sure to read "System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (p.38) to verify that your system and the machine settings are configured appropriately.

Do not install the printer driver for the dual function board when the dual function board is not installed. If this is done, a warning message will print and printing will be canceled.

The scanning feature is only available with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP using a USB connection. For users running Windows 95/NT 4.0 or using a parallel connection, only printing is available.

When interrrupt copying is being performed, printing or scanning is not possible.

System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)

The following system is required to use USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode):

Your computer must be running Windows XP / Windows 2000 and the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver must be pre-installed, or the USB 2.0 driver for Windows XP / Windows 2000 must be installed using Microsoft's Windows Update service.

The "USB 2.0 mode switching" setting in the machine's user programs must be set to "Hi-Speed". To change the setting, see "USB 2.0 mode switching" in the user programs. (p.46).

*Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is installed, some USB 2.0 expansion cards are not capable of attaining the speed stipulated by the Hi-Speed standard. This problem can often be fixed by installing a more recent driver for the card. To obtain the most recent driver for your card, contact the card's manufacturer.
