The printer driver, which is used during printing, is equipped with various functions that make the most out of the features of the machine. They enable you to use the same functions as those offered by the machine. When actually running a print cycle, you can specify various functions of the machine on your computer screen. Note When using the controller, be sure to set the machine to the On Line state. Some functions offered by the machine cannot be combined, such as Staple and Hole-Punch, and some others may not be used because of a paper size involved. The functions that cannot be selected appear dimmed. Further, if functions that are incompatible with each other are specified, the Conflicts dialog box will appear, prompting you to change the settings. When this dialog box appears, check the details and reselect the functions to ensure function compatibility. Some settings, which are defied by the machine for the restricted combinations of different functions, can at times be accepted by the printer driver. If a print command is issued from the personal computer with such settings made, the machine does not produce the output correctly or abandons the job to produce nothing. Make sure that you make correct settings. Pi4700e Before Using the Printer Driver 1 Chapter 1 Various Printing Functions G Features of the Controller Makes prints that are sorted into complete sets of the originals or grouped into uncollated groups, each containing prints of one original. (p. 7-4) Before Using the Printer Driver G Prints two pages of originals on both front and back sides of a single sheet of paper. (p. 7-2) Long Edge Binding G Short Edge Binding Enlarges or reduces the image on the original. (p. 7-8) G Prints two pages or four pages of originals on a single sheet of paper. Maximum of 16 pages of originals can be printed on a single sheet of paper. (p. 7-6) 2 up 4 up 1-2 Pi4700e Features of the Controller G 1 Chapter 1 Before Using the Printer Driver 1-3 Prints four pages of originals to both front and back sides of a single sheet of paper. (p. 7-12) G Places text in the background. (p. 7-10) G Makes prints of complete sets of the originals, stapled together or punched for filing. (p. 4-13) By combining Collate with other finishing capabilities, you can make complete sets of documents for immediate delivery without having to do any further processing. G Adds a reference number (Distribution Number) to each document set during printing. (p. 7-14) Pi4700e 1 Chapter 1 G Features of the Controller Prints only the cover on a different type of paper (such as colored paper). (p. 7-20) Before Using the Printer Driver G Capable of printing on OHP transparencies. You can also insert interleaves, either blank or printed with the same contents as those on the OHP transparencies. (p. 7-18) G Folds copies during finishing. (p. 4-13) Crease Half Folding Z-Folding 1-4 Pi4700e Features of the Controller Administrative Functions G G 1 Chapter 1 Before Using the Printer Driver Different accounts can be managed for printing records, just as when using the machine as a copier. Printing of confidential documents may be withheld until a legitimate password is entered on the machine. Pi4700e 1-5 1 Chapter 1 Configuration 1.2 Configuration The controller may be configured with the following options. G Before Using the Printer Driver Memory (64MB/128MB, Option) Expands the memory capacity of Pi4700e. G Controller Allows you to use the machine as a printer controlled by your personal computer.

The installation procedures are to be performed by service personnel. The controller is connected to the computer by a printer cable or network cable. Power to the controller is supplied from the machine. Tip If you cannot print from your computer, make sure that the printer cable or network cable is connected to the corresponding connectors. Pi4700e Before Using the Printer Driver 1 Chapter 1 Settings Made on the Machine 1.4 Settings Made on the Machine The following functions must be set on the machine using its Utility Mode, as they relate to the controller. Before Using the Printer Driver Priority Device Select the priority use of the machine, either as a copier or printer. G Copier: The machine is used as a copier. The machine starts the print cycle only after it has received the entire data of a particular print job. The machine can be used for copying, since it starts printing only after it has received the entire data of the job for printing. This means that more time is available to you for copying, but you have to wait for a longer time before a particular print job is done. Printer: The machine is used as a printer. The machine starts the print cycle before it completes receiving the entire data of a particular print job. On receiving the data for one page, the machine starts printing, accepting no other job for copying. This means that less time is available to you for copying, but you do not have to wait long before a particular print job is done. G On Line / Ready G On Line key This function is the same as that available in ordinary printers as On Line/Off Line. Select On Line normally. A lit lamp indicates that the machine is in the On Line mode. Ready Lamp Data can be transferred while this lamp stays lit up. The lamp remains blinking while data is being transferred.
