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. In addition, a Dual function board can be installed to enable the use of a USB 2.0 port, and the printer driver for the Dual function board can be used with this board for high-speed data exchange. 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".

If a problem occurs in printer or scanner mode, see "TROUBLESHOOTING". (p.00)

Note

To use the printer driver for the Dual function board, your computer must be connected to the machine using the

 

USB 2.0 port. If the USB 1.1 port is used, the machine will not attain the full printing speed or other features of

 

the Dual function board.

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.

USING THE PRINTER MODE

The procedure for loading paper is the same as for loading copy paper. See "LOADING PAPER". (p.00)

Print jobs received while the machine is copying or being used in scanner mode will be stored in memory. When

Note

the copy job is finished or scanner mode is exited, the print jobs will begin printing.

Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.

If an original misfeed occurs in the SPF/RSPF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and the SPF/RSPF is restored to a usable state.
