Safety Notes Your printer and the recommended consumable supplies have been designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. Attention to the following notes will ensure the continued safe operation of your printer.
Note, Caution and Warning Symbols Note, Caution and Warning Symbols Throughout this System Administrator Guide, several symbols are used to emphasize useful, important and critical information. They are as follows: This symbol indicates particularly useful or helpful information about your printer. This symbol indicates a caution against performing any action that may damage your printer or degrade performance.
Electrical Safety Electrical Safety • Use the power cord supplied with your printer. • Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to a power source receptacle that lacks a ground connection terminal. • Plug the power cable directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord. If you do not know whether an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check the outlet. You may get a severe electrical shock if you do not connect the grounding conductors correctly.
Electrical Safety • If you notice unusual noises or odors, switch off the printer power immediately. Disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet. Call an authorized service representative to correct the problem. • If any of the following conditions occur, switch off the printer power immediately, disconnect the power cable, and call an authorized service representative. — The power cable is damaged or frayed. — Liquid is spilled into the printer. — The printer is exposed to water.
Laser Safety Laser Safety The use of controls or adjustments, or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein, may result in a hazardous radiation exposure. This equipment complies with all applicable safety standards. With specific regard to laser, the equipment complies with performance standards for laser products set by government agencies as a Class 1 laser product. It does not emit hazardous light; the beam is totally enclosed during all modes of customer operation and maintenance.
Maintenance Safety Maintenance Safety • Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the documentation supplied with your printer. • Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of supplies that are not approved may cause poor performance and could create a dangerous condition. • Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are installing optional equipment. Power should be OFF when performing these installations.
Operational Safety Operational Safety Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These include safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental standards. Your attention to the following safety guidelines will help to ensure the continued safe operation of your printer. • Use the material and supplies specifically designed for your printer.
Operational Safety • Do not place the printer near a heat source. • Do not place the printer in direct sunlight. • Do not place the printer in line with the cold air flow from an air conditioning system. • Place the printer on a level, solid surface with adequate strength for the weight of the machine. The base printer weight without any packaging materials is 60 pounds (27 kg). • The printer is heavy. Exercise care in moving or relocating the printer.
Operational Safety • Frequent operation of the on/off switch is not recommended. • Keep hands, hair, jewelry, and neckties away from the exit feed rollers. • Do not remove a media tray while printing from that tray. • Do not open the covers while printing. • Do not switch off the printer power while printing. • Do not move the printer while printing.
Ozone Safety Ozone Safety This printer produces very low (< 0.01 ppm) ozone during normal operation. The ozone produced is heavier than air, and the quantity is dependent on print volume. Providing the proper environmental parameters, as specified in the Operational Safety section of these Safety Notes, ensures that concentration levels meet safe limits.

Using the Control Panel Using the Control Panel The printer’s Control Panel (Figure 1.1) serves several purposes: • It displays information about the status of the printer (or the job in process). • It provides the means for changing printer settings to control how the printer operates. • It allows you to print reports and password-protected pages stored on the optional hard drive. Figure 1.
Using the Control Panel The Display The Control Panel's display performs two functions. • It informs you of printer status conditions, such as when toner is low, when a paper tray is empty, when a job is in process, and so on. For example, when you turn on the printer, the display will show: Ready This message appears whenever the printer is online and ready to accept print jobs. The display will also show: Processing... when processing data, and: Waiting when waiting for more data.

Configuring Automatic Tray Switching Configuring Automatic Tray Switching Automatic tray switching, available for both PCL and PostScript jobs, enables you to group two or more input trays together into one logical tray, and in a specific order in which the trays will be searched to satisfy an input request. Tray switching is useful for: • Increasing paper capacity.
Configuring Automatic Tray Switching The multi bypass feeder is referred to as the MBF in the Control Panel’s Tray Sequence settings. Following is a description of the settings and rules for using the Tray Sequence function, along with examples of its use.
Configuring Automatic Tray Switching Tray Sequence Settings The Tray Sequence item in the Control Panel’s Tray Menu can be set to any of the settings shown in Table 1.32 below (and to Off). Table 1.32 Tray switching options in the Tray Menu Tray Sequence Settings MBF-1 1-MBF Description Tray Sequence settings available with base configuration printer.
Configuring Automatic Tray Switching Paper Handling Exception Conditions Table 1.33 describes the paper selection process based on fully defined or partially defined paper selection parameters. A paper request may include one or more of the following parameters: paper tray, paper size, paper type (e.g., plain, letterhead, etc.). Specifying a paper source (a specific tray) does not guarantee that paper will be fed from that tray if the type and size can be satisfied from another source.
Configuring Automatic Tray Switching The fourth column of Table 1.33 defines which paper size and paper type to use based on fully or partially specified paper selection parameters. After the type and size are determined, the next step is to determine which paper tray to use to satisfy the request. If the request can be satisfied by one of the currently configured trays, then the appropriate paper tray is used. (Note that the fourth column of Table 1.
Configuring Automatic Tray Switching Tray Sequence Rules When you define a Tray Sequence, the printer searches the input trays for the correct size and type of paper for each job that is submitted. • If you do not specify an input tray when sending a job to the printer (e.g., no paper source command is sent, or the paper source is set to “Auto” in PCL), the trays included in the Tray Sequence are searched first (in the sequence order), before other trays not in the sequence.
Configuring Automatic Tray Switching Tray Sequence Examples The examples in Table 1.34 discuss conditions and actions that take place when various Tray Sequence settings are used. Table 1.34 Tray Sequence examples Condition The Tray Sequence is set to 1-2. • All trays are set to Letter paper. • There is no paper in Tray 1. • Letter paper is requested with the source set to Auto. The Tray Sequence is set to 1-2-3. • A Tray 2 paper source is requested. • All trays meet the size/type requirement.
Configuring Automatic Tray Switching Paper Size/Type Mismatch Paper size/type mismatch occurs when the requested size is not available in the printer. This can be caused by running out of paper in a tray that is configured for the requested paper, or by requesting a paper that is not configured in the printer. The printer goes off-line under paper mismatch conditions. It automatically returns on-line and continues printing after the paper mismatch condition is resolved.
Configuring Output Offsetting Configuring Output Offsetting The optional Offset Catch Tray supports offsetting output between successive jobs or multiple collated sets of a single job. Offsetting is controlled from the Control Panel or via CentreWare DP. The following conditions must be met before offsetting occurs between jobs: • The offset function occurs only between successive jobs that are both destined for the Offset Catch Tray.
Configuring Output Offsetting Examples In the following example, the offset function is set to On and output is directed to the Offset Catch Tray (2 position offset capability). Table 1.
Configuring Duplex Printing Configuring Duplex Printing With the optional duplex unit installed, you can configure the printer to print two-sided (duplex) jobs. Set the printer driver’s Orientation option and the System Menu’s Duplex item to the appropriate settings, as shown in Figure 1.2 on page 1-123.
Configuring Duplex Printing Figure 1.
Configuring Custom Paper Sizes Configuring Custom Paper Sizes Custom (nonstandard) paper sizes may be loaded in the multi bypass feeder or any of the media trays. To use custom paper sizes, there are two basic issues to be addressed: • You must disable the printer’s automatic paper size detection and paper size jam detection.
Configuring Custom Paper Sizes Table 1.36 Custom Paper Size Examples. Custom Paper Size Desired Input Source 8 x 10 in. Tray 1 Required Steps 1. In the application, format the page for Letter size paper, setting the margins to correctly position the image on 8 x 10 in. paper if overlaid by Letter size paper. 2. Load the 8 x 10 paper in Tray 1. 3. Set the Tray Menu Tray 1 Mode item to Custom. 4. Set the Custom Size item to Letter(8.5x11). 5.
Special Media Printing Special Media Printing When the Config Fuser item is set to On, paper types are available as a menu item in the Tray Menu. this enables the user to set fuser temperatures associated with each paper type. The Config Fuser item is located in the Tray Menu. Each paper type has three temperature settings: • Normal • High (fuser temperature higher than normal) • Low (fuser temperature lower than normal) To print special media: 1. Load the special media into a paper tray. 2.

Using the Hard Drive and Flash Memory 3 r e tpahC Hard Drive/Flash Memory Considerations ........................... 3-2 Disk Initialization ........................................................... 3-2 Flash Initialization .......................................................... 3-2 Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros .............................. 3-3 Font Download Utility ..................................................... 3-3 PCL 5e Driver ........................................................
Hard Drive/Flash Memory Considerations Hard Drive/Flash Memory Considerations If you install the optional hard drive in the printer, it will significantly increase the amount of memory available for processing jobs and storing downloaded information (such as fonts, forms, overlays (macros) and secure jobs). The hard disk is used for the following: • Support of the PostScript file system. • Support of the PJL/PCL file system. • Receiving raw (i.e.
Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros The printer has a total of 35 Intellifonts, 35 PostScript Type 1, 10 TrueType, and 1 bitmap fonts. Additional fonts can be downloaded to the printer with the Font download Utility, the PCL 5e driver, or PJL commands. Font Download Utility Font Download Utility, a Windows based graphical user interface tool downloads fonts (single/double byte) to the optional hard disk or Flash Memory.
Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros PCL 5e Driver The printer drivers provide you with the ability to download fonts and PCL 5e macros to the printer. Fonts, forms and macros can be downloaded to printer memory, to the optional hard drive and to optional flash memory via drivers. • To download fonts you must first install the appropriate Windows 95/98, Macintosh, Windows NT, or UNIX drivers. To download macros, you must install the Windows PCL 5e driver.
Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros FSDOWNLOAD Command Syntax Parameters The FSDOWNLOAD command is used to download fonts or macros to the printer’s file system. If a file with the same name exists, the downloaded file overwrites it.
Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros The following is a sequence of commands that can be sent to the printer to download a macro to the disk. In this example, the macro is named “a_macro.” %-12345X @PJL @PJL FSDOWNLOAD FORMAT:BINARY NAME =”0:\pcl\macros\a_macro” SIZE=29 *p900x1500YThis is the macro %-12345X In this example: • %-12345X is the PJL UEL command which starts this sequence. • @PJL is the mandatory PJL command following the UEL command.
Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros The following is a sequence of commands that can be sent to the printer to download a font to the disk. %-12345X @PJL @PJL FSDOWNLOAD FORMAT:BINARY NAME =”0:\pcl\fonts\font1” SIZE=XX %-12345X In this example: • %-12345X is the PJL UEL command which starts this sequence. • @PJL is the mandatory PJL command following the UEL command. • @PJL FSDOWNLOAD... downloads a font named “font1” that is “XX” bytes in size.
Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros FSDELETE Command Syntax Parameters The FSDELETE command is used to delete files from the printer’s hard drive. @PJL FSDELETE NAME = “pathname” [] Parameter Functional Range Default NAME=”pathname” ASCII 01 thru 255 N/A NAME = “pathname” — where “pathname” has the same parameters as the FSDOWNLOAD command (see page 3-5).
Using the Hard Drive for Secure and Proof Jobs Using the Hard Drive for Secure and Proof Jobs Secure, collated copy, and proof jobs that have been submitted to the printer are stored in PCL or PostScript format on the hard drive. These secure and proof jobs can be printed (or deleted) through the Password Menu where you enter the 4-digit password for the job or jobs to be printed. Procedures for printing or deleting secure jobs are listed in Table 1.9 on page 1-20.
Using the Hard Drive for Secure and Proof Jobs Job names can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters and passwords must contain four numeric characters (0-7). The printer assigns a default job name if no name or a name with a syntax error is used. The job name is displayed on the Control Panel Password menu when the associated password is entered. If a password is not assigned or the password contains syntax errors, the job is not printed and is discarded.
Using the Hard Drive for Secure and Proof Jobs Creating Proof Jobs Proof printing lets you print a single copy of a multiple copy job. You assign a password and copy count at your workstation or computer before printing. The first set is printed immediately. You can then go to the printer and proofread (proof) the first set. Depending on the outcome of the proofing, you can then decide either to continue printing the sets or to delete the job after entering your password at the printer’s Control Panel.
Using the Hard Drive for Secure and Proof Jobs The job name is limited to 16 alphanumeric characters in the range ASCII 30 through ASCII 255, and . The password must contain four numeric characters in the range ASCII 48 through ASCII 55. The printer assigns a default job name if no name or a name with a syntax error is called out. The job name is the name displayed on the Control Panel Password Menu when the associated password is entered.
Using the Hard Drive for Secure and Proof Jobs Printing or Deleting Secure or Proof Jobs Secure or proof jobs may be printed or deleted by using the Password Menu, as described in the section “Password Menu” (page 1-20). They may also be deleted by using the Delete Jobs function in the Reset Menu, as described in the section “Reset Menu” (page 1-108).
