Features and Functions

Extensive Client Platform Support

This equipment supports printing from IBM-compatible PC, Macintosh, and UNIX/Linux workstations. Not all features are supported on all platforms, however.

Various Port Options

You can map this equipment to print to an SMB, IPP, Raw TCP, or LPR port.

Multiple Job Types

Job Types refer to the way this equipment handles a print job.

yNormal mode requires no special handling and is the most frequently used printing mode.

yScheduled Print lets you specify the time and date at which to print a job.

yPrivate Print mode allows you to hold a job in the print queue until you enter a password at the touch panel to print the job.

yHold Print mode allows you to hold a job in the hold queue until you continue the job from the touch panel.

yProof Print mode prints the first copy of a multi-copy job and then awaits your approval before printing the remaining copies.

yOverlay File prints a document element, such as text or graphics, to a file for superimposing on the background of other documents.

yStore to e-Filing mode allows you to store the printed document in e-Filing.

Professional Finishing Options

Depending on the type of finishing units you have installed on this equipment, you can choose to sort, group, fold, staple your documents (including saddle-stitching) and punch binding holes.

Sophisticated Document Layout and Assembly Options

You can choose whether to print your document as you have set it up in the application, or to impose printer-driven document layout options such as printing in Book Format or printing Multiple Pages per Sheet.

Additionally, the printer drivers provide the ability to print selected pages on different media. This includes printing front and back covers, inserting sheets at predefined positions within the document, or interleaving pages so that every other page is inserted blank or printed on a different type of media.

Various Sizes of Printing Paper Available

You can use paper larger than the standard sizes defined in the custom paper size setting when you print data created with applications. (Largest size: 11.70 x 17 inches (297 x 432 mm))

Watermark and Image Overlay Support

Watermarks are a great way to subtly convey useful information about your printed documents. Common watermarks are [Confidential], [Draft] and [Original]. Several watermarks have been pre-defined for use with your documents, or you can create and save your own custom watermarks.

Watermarks consist of text. Image Overlays can be any combination of text, graphics or other document elements. Printing watermarks consumes fewer resources than using Image Overlays, so you should use watermarks wherever possible, particularly when printing speed is an issue.

This equipment provides the printing function as an option. However, this optional printing function is already installed in some models.
