2-4 Finishing Configure settings for staple or punch finishing. [Binding Edge] When automatic two-sided printing is performed, the [Binding Edge] setting is used to determine how the left, right and top edges of the front and back sides are positioned. The relation between the document and each of the settings is as follows: Default setting: Left [Staple] [None] ........... Do not staple. [1 Staple]....... Staple in one place. [2 Staples]..... Staple in two places. When [1 Staple] or [2 Staples] is selected, the [Collate] setting is automatically activated.

2-6 Retention [Normal Print] This setting is used for normal printing. When selected, it is not necessary to use the operation panel on the machine to begin printing. As long as the machine is operating properly, printing can be executed entirely from the computer. [Hold After Print] This setting is used to retain the print job in the machine's hold job list after being printed. This allows the user to print the job again if necessary, or delete the job if no longer needed. [Hold Before Print] This setting is used to prevent print jobs from being misplaced. When a print job is executed, the machine stores it in the hold job list rather than printing it. The user can then initiate printing from the machine's operation panel, or delete the job as needed. [Proof Print] This setting is used to prevent misprints when printing large numbers of copies. When printing is executed, the machine prints only one trial set of copies and then stores the remainder of the job in the hold job list. After the user has verified that the copies are acceptable, the job can be resumed from the machine's operation panel. (The trial set of copies is included in the total number of sets.) If the copies are not acceptable, the job can be deleted without printing. [PIN] (5-digit identification number) A PIN number can programmed in the printer driver for increased security when printing jobs from the hold job list. When this is done, the PIN number must be entered at the machine's operation panel to print a job in the job hold list. ● ●● ●"Hold After Print" with PIN: The PIN number must be entered on the operation panel of the machine to print the hold job again. ● ●● ●"Hold Before Print" with PIN: The PIN number must be entered on the operation panel of the machine to print the hold job. ● ●● ●"Proof Print" with PIN: The PIN number must be entered on the operation panel of the machine to print the remaining sets after the first set is printed. The first set is printed without PIN number entry. Default setting: Normal Print Notify Job End Select whether or not you wish to be notified when printing is finished. This function only operates when the Printer Status Monitor is running. Even if selected, the function will not operate when the Printer Status Monitor is not running. Default setting: Selected Defaults Returns the settings in the job control window to the default settings. Downloaded from: http://www.usersmanualguide.com/

2-7 Account Number When "AUDITING MODE" in the key operator programs is enabled, a count can be kept of the number of sheets printed by each account. Account numbers for this purpose are programmed as explained in the Key Operator's Guide in the "PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM. When the "ACCOUNT LIMIT" key operator program is enabled, printing is not permitted after the page count reaches the limit. When this happens, a notice page is printed (unless the "Disable notice page printing" key operator program has been enabled). When the "NO PRINT IF ACC'T # INVALID" key operator program is enabled, printing will not take place if an invalid account number is entered, or if printing is executed without entering an account number. If you want printing be allowed even if a valid account number is not entered, disable this setting. In this case, pages printed by an invalid account number will be included in the "OTHERS" count. Default Job ID Use this setting to select the default user name and job name that appear in the machine's operation panel. Note that if "Always Use This ID" is not selected, the Windows login name and the job name set in the application will be automatically used. The names that appear here will also appear in the dialog box that appears when printing is executed. [User Name] Use this setting to select the default "User Name" that appears in the machine's operation panel. If "Always Use This ID" is selected, the name entered here will appear in the machine's operation panel. If "Always Use This ID" is not selected, the Windows login name will be automatically used. Up to 16 characters can be entered. Default setting: Username unknown [Job Name] Use this setting to select the default "Job Name" that appears in the machine's operation panel. If "Always Use This ID" is selected, the name entered here will appear in the machine's operation panel. If "Always Use This ID" is not selected, the job name set in the application will be automatically used. Up to 18 characters can be entered. Default setting: Jobname unknown [Always Use This ID] This allows you to select whether to automatically obtain the "User Name" and "Job Name" displayed in the machine's operation panel, or whether to use the names entered in this dialog box. Not selected ....... The Windows login name will be automatically used for the "User Name", and the job name set in the application will be automatically used for the "Job Name". Selected ............. The names entered in this dialog box will appear in the machine's operation panel. Default setting: Not selected Downloaded from: http://www.usersmanualguide.com/

Default setting: Portrait [Rotate 180 degrees] Rotate the image 180° before printing. This function rotates the image to enable correct printing on envelopes and other paper with flaps. Default setting: Not selected Correct Wrong Horizontal loading Vertical loading NOTE Printing normally takes place using the paper size set in the application, regardless of the paper size selected in the printer driver. When the paper size is not specified in the application, the paper size setting in the printer driver is used. Downloaded from: http://www.usersmanualguide.com/

2-9 Paper Selection Select the paper tray and paper type in this field. [Paper Source] Select the paper tray. When [Auto Select] is selected, the tray containing the paper specified in [Paper Size] and [Paper Type] is automatically used.

Are different sizes of paper mixed together? Stapling is not possible on mixed sizes of paper. Is the paper badly curled, preventing stapling? Differences in paper quality and type may result in bad curling of output paper. Take the paper out of the tray or bypass tray, turn it around, and reload it so that the top and bottom edges are reversed. Cannot be punched.*2 Does a checkmark appear in the [Punch] checkbox in the Main tab? Click the [Punch] checkbox so that a checkmark appears (page 2-5). Mixed paper sizes? Punching is not possible when different paper sizes are mixed together. Paper is badly curled and the output paper is not punched.

A notice page will be printed when the current print job cannot be run due to a system limitation and an explanation of the limitation is too lengthy to be shown in the message display. The notice page will describe the limitation and possible ways to complete the job. A notice page will be printed in the following cases. ●When the print data of a single job is so large that it cannot be held in memory. (When there are other jobs occupying memory, notice pages may tend to be printed more frequently even for jobs with small amounts of data.) ●When a print job is sent to the printer and the number of print hold jobs has reached the maximum of 100 jobs. ●When different paper sizes have been selected for printing within a print job and one or more of the sizes cannot be delivered to the selected exit tray or to the stapler compiler. In these cases printed paper will be delivered partly to the specified destination (tray or compiler) and partly to another exit tray. ●When a function is selected that has been disabled using the key operator programs, such as disabling of two- sided printing, disabling of the staple function, or disabling of a specified exit tray. ●An invalid account number is entered when the auditing mode has been set. ■■■■Disabling of notice page printing You can use the "DISABLE NOTICE PAGE PRINTING" of the key operator program to disable notice page printing.
