CAUTION
WARNING
• Avoid placing the printer on or in locations which are
unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the
printer to fall down or fall over. This type of situation
presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the
printer. .........................................................................
• Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or
dirt becomes attached to the power plug, clean the
plug to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. .....
• Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat
sources, or locations near flammable items, to avoid
the danger of fire. ........................................................
• To keep the printer cool and facilitate changing of

below. Leave adequate space, especially around the
left cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated out of
the printer. ...................................................................
• DO NOT use a power supply with a voltage other than
that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same
outlet. These types of situations present a danger of
fire or electrical shock. ................................................
• Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic
objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it
may cause a fire or electric shock. .............................
• Always connect the printer to an outlet with a ground
connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical
shock in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, contact your service representative. .............................................................................

pull it, bend it unnecessarily or cause any other type of
damage.
These types of situations present a danger of fire or
electrical shock. ..........................................................
• NEVER attempt to repair or disassemble the printer or
its parts as there is a danger of fire, electrical shock or
damage to the laser. If the laser beam escapes, there
is a danger of it causing blindness. ............................
• If the printer becomes excessively hot, smoke appears
from the printer, there is an odd smell, or any other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or
electrical shock. Turn the power switch OFF (O) immediately, remove the power plug from the outlet and
contact your service representative. ...........................
• For safety purposes. ALWAYS remove the power
plug from the outlet when performing cleaning operations. ...................................................................
• If dust accumulates within the printer, there is a danger of fire or other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult with your service
representative in regard to the cleaning of internal
parts. This is particularly effective if accomplished
prior to seasons of high humidity. Consult with your
service representative in regard to the cost of cleaning
the internal parts of the printer. ...................................
• If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids,
etc.) falls into the printer, turn the power switch OFF
(O) immediately. Next, remove the power plug from
the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical
shock. Then contact your service representative. ......
Other Precautions
• DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer or cause
other damage to the printer.
• DO NOT remove or connect the power plug with wet
hands, as there is a danger of electrical shock. .........
• During printing, some ozone is released, but the
amount does not cause any ill effect to one’s health. If,
however, the printer is used over a long period of time
in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate
environment for print work, it is suggested that the
room be properly ventilated.
• ALWAYS contact your service representative for maintenance or repair of internal parts. .............................
CAUTION
• DO NOT pull the power cord when removing it from
the outlet. If the power cord is pulled, the wires may
become broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. (ALWAYS grasp the power plug when removing the power cord from the outlet.) .....................
• ALWAYS remove the power plug from the outlet when
moving the printer. If the power cord is damaged,
there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. ................
• If the printer will not be used for a short period of time
(overnight, etc.), turn the power switch OFF (O).
If it will not be used for an extended period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the power plug from the outlet
for safety purposes during the time the printer is not in
use. .............................................................................
• DO NOT open the front cover, turn off the main switch,
or pull out the power plug during printing.
• DO NOT touch electrical parts, such as connectors or
printed circuit boards. They could be damaged by
static electricity.

the print side is facing upward. (The print side is the side facing upward when the package is opened.)
• Check that the paper guide makes secure contact with the paper. If there is a gap, adjust the position of the paper guide.
• If small-size paper jams occur frequently under high temperature and high humidity conditions, reduce the number of
sheets to the level line indicated on the sticker .
1.2 Loading Paper into the MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray
Special paper as well as standard paper can be loaded into the
MP tray. When printing onto transparencies or thick paper, be
sure to use the MP tray.
NOTE
• The number of sheets of standard paper that can be loaded in
the MP tray at a time is approximately 200.
• When using transparencies, load a single sheet at a time.
IMPORTANT
When setting special paper, such as transparencies and thick
paper, into the M tray, select the type of paper by referring to
3.Paper Type on page 5-5.

Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel
Job Storage
Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently,
or in virtual mailboxes, as you click an appropriate radio button
on the printer driver when printing from a computer. If you select
Temporary or Permanent job storage, you can choose to have a
unique number and barcode automatically assigned to each job
as it is stored in the printer. This barcode appears on the printed
document. The barcode reader can be used to reprint the document by reading the barcode from the original document or from
a List of Code Jobs. For details on this list, see Printing a List of
Code Jobs on page 3-15.
Job storage requires a hard disk installed in the printer. However, printing barcoded job IDs on documents is possible using the
RAM disk feature of the printer. On how to use the RAM disk, see
Operating a RAM Disk on page 3-34.
Virtual Mailbox
Virtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobs on
the hard disk without printing. It enables you to retrieve jobs later
from the operator panel, the Print Disk Manager utility (in the CDROM), or the barcode reader.
Each mailbox may be used by an individual who desires to share
the printer in this mode. By default, each mailbox is numbered
from ‘Tray 001,’ ‘Tray 002,’ ... etc. To ‘post’ a job in one of these
mailboxes, you assign a numbered or named mailbox on the
printer driver when printing.
4
Press the 3 or 4 key repeatedly until >Quick Copy
appears followed by the user name (Harold, in this
example). The user name is assigned at printing using
the printer driver.
>Quick Copy
Harold
5
Press the ENTER key. A blinking question mark (?) appears before the user name.
>Quick Copy
?Harold
6
Press the 3 or 4 key to display the desired user name,
Arlen, in this example.
>Quick Copy

7
To retrieve the stored job for printing, see Retrieving Jobs from
Virtual Mailbox (VMB) on page 3-15.
Press the ENTER key. The job name entered in the
printer driver (Report, in this example) appear with a
blinking question mark (?) before the letters.
>Arlen
?Report
NOTE
The virtual mailbox can be used in PCL 6 emulation only.
Using Quick Copy
This mode enables you to print the requested number of copies
of a job, simultaneously storing the job on the hard disk. When
additional copies are required, you can reprint the required
number of copies from the printer operator panel. To print a job
as a quick copy job, see Printer Driver Guide.
The default number of print jobs that can be stored on the hard
disk is 32. This value can be increased to up to 50 from the e-MPS
Configuration menu. For details, see Changing e-MPS Configuration on page 3-16. When the number of jobs reaches the limit,
the oldest job will be overwritten by the new one.
When the printer is turned off, all stored jobs will be deleted.
Printing Additional Copies using Quick Copy
To print additional copies of a job stored in the printer:
1
Press the MENU key.

the 3 key; to decrease the copy count, press the 4
key.
Using Proof-and-Hold
When you print multiple copies, this mode first prints one copy
so that you can proof it before continuing to print the remaining
copies. Since you can proof the printouts before printing the remaining copies, wastage of paper can be reduced.
The printer prints one copy and, at the same time, saves the print
job on the hard disk. You can also change the number of copies
when resuming printing from the operator panel.
When the printer is turned off, all stored jobs will be deleted.

Printing a Private Job
In private printing, you can specify that a job is not printed until
you release the job from the operator panel. At sending the job
from the application software, you can specify a 4-digit access
code in the printer driver. The job is released for printing by entering the access code on the operator panel. Thus, this function
ensures confidentiality of the print job.

2.2.12 Paper Handling
Setting the MP Tray Size
You can change the MP tray mode, the paper size and type for
each paper source, the sorter mode, the paper source, and paper destinations.
When using the MP tray in the cassette mode, you should set
the MP tray size to the paper size that is used to format the job
to print. If they do not match, printing will not be made on the
correct size paper when automatic paper size selection is made
by the application (printer driver). The factory setting is A4 or
Letter size.
MP Tray Mode
The MP tray can be used in one of two modes: cassette mode or
first mode. The MP tray can hold approximately 200 sheets of
paper (A4 size, 0.11 mm thickness).
Cassette Mode
The cassette mode provides faster printing speed than the first
mode. Approximately 200 sheets of paper can be continuously
fed in this mode. (This is the factory setting.)
First Mode (Automatic Manual Feeding)
For more details about the paper sizes that can be fed from the
MP tray, see Chapter 5 Paper Selection.

Binding Setups
The term binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of
paper are joined together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in book
form. The two possible types of binding are long-edge binding,
in which pages are joined together along their long edge; and
short-edge binding, in which they are joined together along their
short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also consider
the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or
short-edge binding with either landscape or portrait printing.
Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplex
unit provides four types of binding setups. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, longedge, and (4) landscape, short-edge. The figure below shows
these binding setups.

goes on-line, and continues printing. Depending on the point at
which the jam occurred, the printer may or may not print the
jammed page.
If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper,
replace with paper from another ream, turn the stack of paper
over, or turn the paper the other way around. Also, look for tiny
pieces of paper that may have been torn off and overlooked
when the jammed paper was removed.
If you cannot solve the problem by changing the paper, there
may be a problem with the printer. Contact your service representative.

• Special Paper
• Paper Type
1.2 Paper Specifications
The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications.
Details are given on the following pages.
Item
1. General Guidelines
The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper
(the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also
accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified
below.
NOTE
The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur
when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper
can result in paper jams, misfeeding, curling, poor print quality,
and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the printer.
The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your
office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing
wear and tear on the printer.
1.1 Paper Availability
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines.
Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with
the printer.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard,
and premium. The most significant difference between grades is
the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper,
and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of
paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper jams and other
problems, and the higher the level of quality your printed output
will reflect.
Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the printer’s performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Lowpriced paper is not economical in the long run if it causes printing
problems.

1.3 Selecting the Right Paper
Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through
the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A high-quality printing paper matching the printer’s
requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the printer
to turn out clean, crisp printed copies consistently.
Remember that all paper is not the same. Some of the factors to
consider when selecting paper for the printer are as follows:
Condition of the Paper
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn,
embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing,
misfeeding, and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the printer. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other
surface treatment. The paper should have as smooth and even
a surface as possible.
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard weights are 16, 20, and 28
pounds (60 to 105 g/m2).

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and
contains plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such
paper to give off harmful fumes.
Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams,
and premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can
cause multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring,
and other print quality problems. The proper weight is 60 to 105
g/m2 for the paper cassette, and 60 to 200 g/m2 for the MP tray.
Bond paper should contain at least 80 % pulp. Not more than
20 % of the total paper content should consist of cotton or other
fibers.
Thickness (Caliper)
Composition
Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed
in the table above. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm
(±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as
low-caliper paper. The paper used with the printer should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the
paper you are using may be too thin. If you are having problems
with paper jams and blurred printing, the paper may be too thick.
The proper thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).
Smoothness
Moisture Content
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with
a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output.
Paper that is too smooth, however, can cause multiple feeding
and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the
dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feedability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing
characteristics.
Basis Weight
The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper
absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in
appearance. When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may
suffer.
Paper Size
Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In the
traditional system, the standard quantity is a ream consisting of
500 sheets measuring 17 × 22 inches each. In the metric system
the standard quantity is 1 square meter.
5-2
Chapter 5 Paper Selection
Wavy or tight edges can cause misfeeding and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%. To
ensure the proper moisture content, it is important to store the
paper in a controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control
are:
• Store paper in a cool, dry location.
• Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Rewrap
paper that is not in use.
• Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet, etc., under the
carton to separate it from the floor.
• After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same
room as the printer for 48 hours before use.
• Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or
damp.
Paper Grain
When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the grain
running parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width
(short grain). Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in
the printer. All paper used in the printer should be long grain.
Other Paper Properties
Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is,
how openly or compactly the fibers are bonded.
Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the printer, while paper
that is too stiff may bind. Either way the result is a paper jam.
Curl: Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction.
The paper should be loaded so that the natural curl is downward,
to counteract the upward curl imparted by the printer. Printed
sheets will then come out flat. Most paper also has a top and bottom surface. Loading instructions are usually given on the paper
package.
NOTE
If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, e.g. when the
paper was used to print on one side, try to roll the paper in the
opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then
come out flat.
Electrostatic properties: During the printing process, the paper
is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must
be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling
together in the output tray.
Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the
whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.
Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not
square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in various
ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable care to
ensure that these problems do not occur.
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obtained
from a reputable supplier is usually properly packaged.
2. Special Paper
This section explains printing on special paper. The page printer
can use the following types of special paper. In this case, set the
media type according to the table below.
Paper type to be used
Media type to be selected
Colored paper
Color
Preprinted paper
Preprinted
Overhead projector
transparencies
Transparency
Postcards
Cardstock
Envelopes
Envelope
Label
Labels
When using the above types of paper, be sure to use products
that are specified for use with photocopiers and/or page printers.
Feed paper other than colored paper or preprinted paper from
the MP (multi-purpose) tray. Use paper that is sold specifically
for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). Label paper and envelopes should not be placed in the cassette.
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give
trouble during printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture,
etc., given off in printing on special paper causes harm to the
machine or operator.
NOTE
Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on
the printer and check that print quality is satisfactory.
Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.
2.1 Transparency (Overhead Projection Film)
Transparency must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during
the printing process. It should satisfy the conditions given in the
table below.

If transparency jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very
gently as it leaves the printer.
5-3
Chapter 5 Paper Selection
2.2 Adhesive-Backed Labels
The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive
must never come into contact with any part of the printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the printer.
Label paper must be manually fed.
Label paper has a structure comprised of three layers, as shown
in the figure below. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive
layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet
(also called the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until
use. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-backed
label paper is particularly likely to give trouble in printing.
Top sheet (White
bond paper)
Adhesive
Carrier sheet
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet,
with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces
in between are apt to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.
Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top
sheet around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from
the carrier sheet until after printing is finished.
Acceptable
Unacceptable
Top
sheet
Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Extensive
envelope printing can cause premature printer wear. To avoid
jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the paper trays during multiple envelope printing.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond
paper, listed in Paper Specifications on page 5-1. In addition, the
pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat
of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base. The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil.
Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the
type of paper commonly used for calendars.
Recycled Paper
Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the
white bond paper (see Paper Specifications on page 5-1) except
whiteness.
Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer
and check that the print quality is satisfactory.
The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.
Specification
Weight of top sheet
44 to 74 g/m2 (12 to 20 lb/ream)
Composite weight
104 to 151 g/m2 (28 to 40 lb/ream)
Thickness of top sheet
0.086 to 0.107 mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils)
Composite thickness
0.115 to 0.145 mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils)
Moisture content
4 to 6 % (composite)
Envelopes
The printer can print on envelopes using paper with a basis
weight of 60 to 79 g/m2 (16 to 21 lb/ream). Envelopes must be
manually fed.
An envelope is a more complex object than a single sheet of paper. For this reason, it may not be possible to obtain consistent
print quality over the entire envelope surface.
5-4
Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.
NOTE
Carrier
sheet
Item
Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (See Paper
Grain on page 5-3). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle and
crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the envelope’s suitability.
Chapter 5 Paper Selection
3. Paper Type
The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for
the type of paper being used.
Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper
source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper.
A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source
including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select customized
paper types. See Customizing Paper Type on page 3-45.

4.1 Preparing an RS-232C Cable
After obtaining an RS-232C cable, check that it is wired correctly, referring to the table in RS-232C Signal Pin Assignment on
page C-2. If you have an IBM communication adapter cable type
1502067, you will have to resolder the wiring at the printer end
of the cable. The procedure is as follows.
1
Remove the plastic cover from the printer end of the
cable.
2
Next to each of the wires inside the cable is a bare
shield wire. Solder all these shield wires together into a
single bundle.
3
Using a section of flat wire about 3 mm wide and 15
mm long, connect the bundle of shield wires to the metal facing of the connector. Check that the solder connections are secure.
4
Desolder wires 2 and 3, then resolder them in crossed
configuration. Solder wire 2 to pin 3 and wire 3 to pin 2.
Cover the solder joints with thermofit tube.
5
Cut wires 4, 5, 6, and 20.
6
Solder wires 5 and 6 together and connect them to pin
20. Cover the solder joints with a thermofit tube. Leave
wire 4 unconnected.
7
Tape all remaining loose ends, or seal them with a thermofit tube.
8
Attach the plastic cover back on.
The printer RS-232C parameters are factory-set to the
following values:
The two RS-232C protocols are XON/XOFF and DTR.
The printer performs both of them simultaneously,
using positive logic for DTR.
If you are uncertain as to the printer’s current
parameter settings, you can reset them to the values
listed above by following the procedure explained in
Printer Resetting on page 3-49.
6
Set the computer to the same parameters as the printer.
On many computers this can be done by setting DIP
switches before the power is turned on. Another method
is as follows:
4.3 Setting the RS-232C Parameters
Windows 95/98/ME
1
Click on the Start button in the Windows 95/98/ME
task bar and align the cursor with Settings, then click
on Control Panel from among the items displayed.
2
The control panel folder opens. Double click on
System.
3
System Properties opens. Click on the Device
Manager tab, then click on the COM port to be used.
4
Click on the Properties button.
4.2 Connecting the RS-232C Cable
Check that the power of both the printer and the computer is
switched off.
1
Discharge yourself of static electricity by touching a
metal object such as a doorknob.
2
Plug the printer end of the RS-232C interface cable
into the printer’s RS-232C connector and attach it in
place.
3
Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s RS232C interface connector.
4
Turn on the printer.
C-4
Appendix C Host Computer Interface
5
The Properties sheet is displayed for the selected
COM port. Click on the Port Settings tab and set the
port properties.

To test the interface, enter the following:
CTRL P
C:\>DIR
CTRL P
The software settings made using the above procedures are
temporary. On most computers, permanent settings must be
made with DIP switches.
If you want to use a different baud rate or change any of the other
RS-232C parameters, this can be accomplished from the printer’s operator panel. See Changing the Interface Parameters on
page 3-18.

Cassette mode
This is an operation mode for the MP tray. When this mode is
used, approximately 200 sheets of plain paper can be fed continuously, the same as for the cassette. Cassette mode is specified as the factory setting, but you can change this setting from
the printer’s operator panel.
dpi (dots per inch)
This indicates the number of dots printed per inch, and is the unit
of printer resolution.
EcoPrint
This is a printing mode that controls toner consumption. Pages
printed in the Ecoprint mode are lighter than pages printed in the
normal mode. The default setting is Off.
Emulation
This refers to emulation of manufacturers’ printers. The printer
emulates the operation of the following printers: PCL 6, KC-GL,
Line printer, IBM Proprinter, DIABLO 630, EPSON LQ-850, and
KPDL.
Expansion memory
This option is used to increase printer memory. The printer has
two expansion sockets, into both of which you can install a 16
MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module). See your Kyocera Mita dealer to purchase the DIMM that is
best suited for use with this printer.
First mode
This is an operation mode for the MP tray. If there is paper inserted in the MP tray, the first paper will always feed from there even
if another paper source is selected.
IEEE1284
This is a standard used when connecting a printer to a computer,
and was established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers in 1994.
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)
This is Kyocera Mita’s original smoothing function. It uses software to enhance the printer’s resolution and produce high-quality printing. The default setting is On.

message display, three indicators and eight keys. The message
display shows the printer’s status. Press the keys when you want
to switch the printer between online and offline status, or to cancel printing.
Outline font
With outline fonts, characters’ outlines are represented by numerical expressions, and fonts can be enlarged, reduced, or
painted in different ways by changing the numeric values of
those expressions. Printing remains clear even if you enlarge
fonts, since the letters are defined by an outline. You can specify
font size in steps of 0.25 points up to 999.75 points.
Parallel Interface
With this interface, data transfer between the printer and the
computer takes place on 8-bit chunks. The printer can perform
IEEE1284 compatible bi-directional communications.

prints with one document data stored in the hard disk, saving you
more times than performing the same printing several times.
Job Retention
This function allows you to save print jobs to the option hard disk
and print them out as desired at the operator panel.
When printing, select a Job Retention mode at the printer driver.
NOTE
When printing with the different print size from the page
size, select the desired size in the Print Size drop down
list.
When printing using non-standard size paper, See Custom Size Settings on page 3-3.
10
Once you finish making paper size settings, the Print
dialog box is displayed again. Click the OK button to
start printing.
NOTE
Settings made from applications are not saved when
the application is closed. The default settings are restored when the application is opened the next time. To
change the printer driver default settings, make printer
settings from Windows.
The following four modes are available:
• Quick Copy Printing See page 3-10
• Proof and Hold Printing See page 3-11
• Private Printing See page 3-12
• Job Storage Printing See page 3-13
For how to make the settings, see the pages of the respective modes.
Four Job Retention modes have the following benefits:
• Quick Copy: When you need another copy of a finished print
job, you can print it out at the printer operator panel. There is
no need to print from the computer again.
• Proof and Hold: When printing multiple copies, this mode first
prints only one copy for proofing, allowing you to decide
whether to continue printing the remaining copies or cancel
printing at the operator panel. In this way, you can reduce the
waste of paper.
• Private Print: Confidential print jobs can be printed out when
you are at the printer. This mode saves print jobs in the printer
without printing until you instruct the printer to do so at the operator panel. Printing using this mode requires the 4-digit access code you set using the printer driver.
• Job Storage (Stored Job): This mode allows you to store
print jobs that are frequently needed, such as fax cover pages,
checklists, and order forms, for printing later. Using the operator panel, you can then print them out as required at anytime
and at any number of copies. You can set the 4-digit access
code, if necessary.
Virtual MailBox
Virtual mailbox is the ability to store print jobs in the virtual mailboxes on the hard disk, enabling you to retrieve and print it later from
the printer’s operator panel or the option barcode reader (BC-1).
You can later print out only the jobs you desire using the operator
panel on the printer.
When printing, make the settings at the printer driver. For how to
make the settings, see Using Virtual Mailbox Printing on page 315.
You can send a print job either to all the virtual mailbox trays at
the same time or to the desired trays only.
Since you perform printing by selecting the desired trays using
the operator panel, you can print out only the jobs you desire.
