PRINTER FUNCTIONS

The machine includes a USB 1.1 connector and a parallel connector as standard equipment.

A computer can be connected to these connectors to use the machine as a printer.

To use the machine as a printer, the printer driver must first be installed as explained in the "Printer Driver Setup

Guide".

Note

• If a problem occurs in printer mode, see "TROUBLESHOOTING" (p.40).

• When interrupt copying is being performed, printing is not possible.

USING THE PRINTER MODE

The procedure for loading paper is the same as for loading copy paper. See "LOADING PAPER" (p.13).

Note

• Print jobs received while the machine is copying will be stored in memory. When the copy job is finished, the print jobs will begin printing.

• Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.

• If an original misfeed occurs in the ADF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and the ADF is restored to a usable state.
