1.4Settings Made on the Machine

The following functions must be set on the machine using its Utility Mode, as they relate to the controller.

Priority Device

Select the priority use of the machine, either as a copier or printer.

Copier: The machine is used as a copier.

The machine starts the print cycle only after it has received the entire data of a particular print job.

The machine can be used for copying, since it starts printing only after it has received the entire data of the job for printing. This means that more time is available to you for copying, but you have to wait for a longer time before a particular print job is done.

Printer: The machine is used as a printer.

The machine starts the print cycle before it completes receiving the en- tire data of a particular print job.

On receiving the data for one page, the machine starts printing, ac- cepting no other job for copying. This means that less time is available to you for copying, but you do not have to wait long before a particular print job is done.

On Line / Ready

On Line key

This function is the same as that available in ordinary printers as On Line/Off Line.

Select On Line normally. A lit lamp indicates that the machine is in the On Line mode.

Ready Lamp

Data can be transferred while this lamp stays lit up. The lamp remains blinking while data is being transferred.
