DESCRIPTION OF SETTING PROGRAMS

The key operator programs related to the printer function are explained here.

Printer settings

Default settings

These programs are used to adjust the settings of various printer functions.

Prohibit notice page printing

This program is used to disable notice page printing. Turn on this program when you do not want the machine to print the notice page explained in "NOTICE PAGE PRINTING" on page 7-3.

Normally this program is set to not print a notice page.

Print density level

This program is used to adjust the lightness or darkness of prints.

Five levels are provided for density adjustment. These are represented by numbers displayed on the touch panel. Among the displayed numbers, a smaller value indicates lighter density and a larger value indicates a darker density.

Interface settings

These programs are used to control data transmitted to the parallel port, USB port or network port of this printer.

Hexadecimal dump mode

This program is used to output the print data from a computer in the hexadecimal dump format with corresponding characters (ASCII). This program is used to check proper transmission of print data from the computer to the printer.

Prohibit test page printing

This program is used to disable test page printing. When the program is turned on, the PRINTER TEST PAGE in the custom settings cannot be printed. (See page 2-15 of "Operation manual (for general information and copier operation)")

A4/letter size auto change

If this program is set, and printing onto A4 size paper is selected but not available, the printer will automatically substitute 8-1/2" x 11" size paper in place of A4 paper if 8-1/2" x 11" paper is available.

*A4 paper cannot be automatically selected in place of

8-1/2" x 11".

NOTE

When A4 size is specified for a document attached to an E-mail that has been transmitted from a foreign country and A4 size paper is not installed in the printer, printing cannot be done without operator intervention. If this program is set, printing will be executed without intervention if a paper tray is loaded with 8-1/2" x 11" paper.

I/O timeout

This program is used to set the length of time to wait for an I/O to complete a job on the parallel port or the network port. If the data stream to the port does not transmit data for a length of time exceeding the timeout, the job will cancel and the next job will start processing.

The I/O timeout setting is used to set the amount of time after which an I/O timeout will occur when waiting for print data.

Default setting: 20 seconds

NOTE

The allowable range of the time is 1 to 999 seconds.
