Printer Sharing
By using your imageCLASS D800 series machine on a network, users can share the device for printing. Printer sharing with the imageCLASS D800 series requires that both the print server and the client devices are using Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later. The print server and client do not need to use the same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 95/98/Me client to a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 print server, or vice versa.
You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not running when the client was started.
If the server is running on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003, you can print, even if no one is logged into the server. Please note that there is no status display on the server when no one is logged in. The status display is shown on the client.

• The way you get to the dialog boxes determines how long the printing options remain in effect:
If you start from an application’s Print...
command, your choices apply only to that print job. They will not be stored when you close the application.
If you start from the Printers folder, the settings apply to all Windows applications and remain in effect until you change those settings.

Overlay
Overlay Printing allows to overlay the document created in any Windows application onto a preselected form file.
For example, if there is a form file containing a company name, logo, or address, it will be printed in the same position on each page of the document altogether with the print data created in an application.
You can easily create perfectly formatted documents with the same appearance from any
Windows application.
Overlay Form File Formats
For overlay forms you can use files in the following formats:
• Windows Metafile (WMF)
• Windows Bitmap (BMP)
Creating an Overlay Form File
Before using Overlay Printing, you need to create an overlay form file in an application. To create a form file you can use both applications from Windows 95/98/Me package and commercially available software.
• Windows Metafile (WMF)
Windows metafile format is used in most commercially available draw applications. Create the form data and save it in the metafile format.
• Windows BMP Bitmap (BMP)
You can easily create a form file in this format using software included in the Windows
95/98/Me package, such as Paint. Windows 95/98/Me desktop wallpapers are also created in this format. There is also a number of commercially available software (e.g. Corel PhotoPaint) that use this format. Create the form data using such software and save it as a BMP file.

Network Printer Status
Viewing the print status
The status of a network printer can be viewed on the print server as well as the client.
For job status to be displayed in the client’s Status Window, the print server’s Status Window must be running.
If the status option “ While Printing ” has been selected for “ Display Printer Status
Window ” in the Option Settings dialog box of the Status Window on the client, the client’s
Status Window opens automatically once printing from the server starts.
If an error occurs on the server, the client’s Status Window for that job opens automatically.
If the client’s Status Window opens automatically, it closes automatically when printing completes or the error is cancelled, unless the user interacted with the window or its menus.
Performing print job operations
Print job operations (pause, resume, cancel) may be performed from either the print server or the client for the job. After a client performs a print operation, no other operations are allowed until the server confirms that the operation has been accepted.
Print job operations cannot be selected on any other screen except the print server or client for the job.
If the print server’s Status Window is not running, you cannot perform job operations on the client. The client’s Status Window displays the message “ Check Print Server .”

Troubleshooting
This chapter includes information to help you solve printer problems. A problem might have one or a combination of causes, such as a computer malfunction, software errors, printer cable or other printer problems. Many printing problems are related to how your software interacts with the printer.
If you can print a self test but the printer does not print other jobs, or your printed output is not what you expected, the problem is with your computer, software, or cables.
If your printer is not operating properly, try the suggestions in this chapter in the order listed.

Using the Trouble Shooter
The Trouble Shooter is a utility for solving printing problems in Windows 95/98/Me or NT
4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003. The Trouble Shooter checks for system configuration setting errors, and if possible, makes automatic corrections.
The Trouble Shooter does not detect problems related to hardware, such as printer cable problems, parallel port failure, or ECP setting errors.
To start the Trouble Shooter, select the Canon iC D800 Trouble Shooter icon in the Canon iC D800 group. The Trouble Shooter checks the following and corrects related problems:
• Free disk space in the drive containing the \Windows directory and free memory
• Installed files
• Selected printer port (checks to see if usable)
• Registries
• RapidPort communication device drivers (Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003)
• Language monitor
• Printer drivers
• Status Window
• Printer Properties settings
• Canon iC D800 program folder
If the Trouble Shooter encounters a problem, it displays an error message. Each message includes several options, such as:
• How to correct the problem
• If the problem cannot be corrected by the Trouble Shooter
• Continue troubleshooting
• Exit Trouble Shooter
• Display help information
If Trouble Shooter is used on a network printer client, it performs network-related checks.
The Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Trouble Shooter checks whether Spooler service has started and if not, displays a dialog box.

When Trouble Shooter is done checking your files, it displays a dialog box similar to the one below.
While Trouble Shooter is running, it saves a log file with the name tshooter.tmp in your system temp directory, such as \windows\temp or \temp.
In the Exit dialog box, Trouble Shooter prompts if you want to save the results as a text file.
Check the Save Result check box and enter the desired filename. The file saves with the extension of .LOG
.
When you click OK in the above dialog box, the Windows Restart dialog box appears. You must restart Windows for corrections made by the Trouble Shooter to take effect.
IMPORTANT
To run Trouble Shooter for the Canon iC D800 on the network, both the server and the client must run on the same operating system.

You open the Start menu by clicking the Start button displayed on the Desktop.

Settings which determine when the Printer Status Window opens and whether sounds play with messages.
Status Window
A window that Canon Advanced Printing Technology uses to display messages about the current print job, as well as to graphically show the print job’s progress from computer to printer.

Title bar
The horizontal bar that contains the title of a window or dialog box. On many windows, the title bar contains the Control menu box and Maximize and Minimize buttons.
Toner
A black, resin-coated powder contained in the Cartridge L50. The printer applies the toner to the surface of the photosensitive drum inside the printer via an electrophotographic mechanism.
Toner saver
Because the black areas of print data are thinned, toner consumption is reduced.
Tool bar
In the Status Window, the area in the tab window that includes buttons for pausing, resuming, and deleting the current print job.
Transfer roller
Presses the paper against the drum, to aid the transfer of toner to the paper.
Trouble Shooter

Windows configuration settings, and if possible corrects any errors that it finds.

V
Virtual Memory
Space on the hard disk that Windows uses for temporary data storage as if it were actually random access memory (RAM). Windows does this by means of a swap file. This provides
Windows with more usable memory, but reduces speed of access to it when the swap file must be used.
.
W
WebNetSpot
This utility is used to control network printers.
Weight
Refers to the thickness of a font: light, medium, or bold. Also refers to the thickness of paper.
Windows Explorer
The Windows program you can use to browse through, open, and manage the disk drives, folders, and files on your computer in a network system. You can also use Windows Explorer to view and open shared folders on other computers on the network. You can use Windows
Explorer to manage your files by moving, copying, renaming, and deleting files.
WYSIWYG
Pronounced wizzy-wig, an acronym for “what you see is what you get.” For example, when you format a paragraph, the line breaks that appear on the printed page are exactly the same as they are on the screen.
