Features and Functions
Extensive client platform support
This equipment supports printing from IBM-compatible PC, Macintosh, and UNIX workstations.
Not all features are supported on all platforms, however.
Various port options
You can map this equipment to print to an 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.
yOverlay Image File prints a document element, such as text or graphics, to a file for superim-
posing on other documents.
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 Multi-
ple Pages per Sheet.
Additionally, the printer drivers provide the ability to print the front cover and back cover on differ-
ent media.
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 water-
marks.
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.
As for watermark printing and overlay image printing, the data in the computer are used. 3 stan-
dard watermarks are provided for these features.
The printing features are available only when the Network Printer Kit is installed.
