2. Using the Document Server

Accessing the Document Server

The Document Server enables you to store documents on the machine's hard

disk, allowing you to edit and print as and when you want.

Limitation

❒ Applications with their own drivers, such as PageMaker, do not support this

function.

Reference

For more information about Document Server functions, see General Settings

Guide.

For information about how to access Document Server from a client, see the

printer driver Help.

Note

❒ When you use the Document Server, the following functions can be selected

using the machine's control panel:

• Copies

• Collate

• Duplex

• Staple

• Punch

• Paper selection: Paper source tray, paper type, paper output tray.

• Functions related to paper selection: Cover sheets, slip sheets, chaptering.

❒ The above items are dimmed, so you cannot set them from the printer prop-

erties dialog box when the Document Server is selected.

❒ You must enter a user ID, using up to eight alphanumeric characters.

❒ You should enter a Password and File Name to distinguish the job from oth-

ers.

❒ Up to 3,000 files can be stored in the Document Server. No new files can be

stored after 3,000 is reached. Even if less than 3,000 files are stored, new files

cannot be stored when

• a file to be stored contains more than 1,000 pages,

• the total number of pages contained in files stored exceeds 9,000,

• the hard disk is full.

Using the Document Server

❒ The Document Server also stores files scanned using the Automatic Docu-

ment Feeder (ADF) or exposure glass. You should delete unnecessary stored

files once in a while so as not to exceed the capacity of the hard disk. For how

to delete stored files, see General Settings Guide.

❒ When using the hard disk for functions other than those of Document Server,

you may be unable to store new files in the Document Server, even if there are

less than 3,000 files stored.

3. Sample Print/Locked Print

Sample Print

Use this function to print only the first

set of a multiple-set print job. After

you have checked the result, remain-

ing sets can be printed or canceled us-

ing the machine's control panel. This

can reduce misprints due to mistakes

in content or settings.

Printing a Sample Print File

The following procedure describes

how to print a sample print file with

the PCL 6/5e printer driver. For in-

formation about how to print a sam-

ple print file with the PostScript 3

printer driver, see PostScript 3 Unit

Type 2045 Operating Instructions Sup-

plement included as a PDF file on the

CD-ROM.

Note

❒ If the application has a collate op-

tion, make sure it is not selected

before sending a print job. By de-

fault, sample print jobs are auto-

matically collated by the printer

driver. If a collate option is select-

ed from the application's [Print] di-

alog box, more prints than

intended may be produced.

Limitation

❒ Applications with their own driv-

ers, such as PageMaker, do not

support this function.

❒ If you are using Mac OS X, this

function cannot be used.

❒ You can identify the file you want

to print by user ID and date and

time when the job was stored.

A Configure the sample print in the

printer driver's properties.

❒ The number of pages the machine

can save depends on the contents

of the print image. For example,

the machine can save up to 30 jobs

Appendix

Stapling Precautions

Limitation

❒ Stapling can be done only with the optional finisher installed.

❒ Stapling cannot be done when paper is fed from the bypass tray.

❒ You cannot interrupt the current job with a job for another function requiring

stapling or collating.

Note

❒ When the finisher is installed, and when an output tray that cannot output us-

ing the staple function has been selected, the paper will be output according

to System Settings.

❒ If you cannot make staple settings even with the finisher installed, options

may not be set correctly in the printer driver. Correct option settings in the

printer driver. For details, see the printer driver Help.

❒ When duplex printing is selected, adjust staple positions to the binding orien-

tation.

❒ When the finisher is being used for another function's job (for example, a copy

job), printing will start after that job ends.

❒ When [Top left slant] or [Top right slant] is selected, the machine tries to staple

at an angle. However, if slanted staple is mechanically impossible, the ma-

chine staples horizontally or vertically.

❒ When setting Staple in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate op-

tion is not selected in the print settings of the application. If a collate option is

selected in the application, printing will not be as intended.

❒ Be sure to set paper size and orientation in the printer driver when stapling.

• Depending on the software you are using, print settings may not be saved

and the printed result may not be as expected.

❒ When printing restarts after removing jammed paper, the printing position

may be different, depending on the location of the jam.

• If the paper jam occurred in the optional finisher, printing will restart from

the top page of the data currently being printed, or from the page where

the paper jam occurred.

• If the paper jam occurred in the machine, printing will restart from the

page where the paper jam occurred.

❒ Even if the paper jam occurred in the machine, the error will not be cleared

unless the cover of the finisher is opened and closed.

Staple

❒ Staple printing will be canceled under the following conditions:

• If the number of staple jobs exceeds maximum. For information about the

maximum number, see “Specifications”, General Settings Guide.

• If a paper size that cannot be stapled is selected. For information about pa-

per sizes that can be stapled, see “Specifications”, General Settings Guide.

• If a paper type that cannot be stapled is selected.

The paper types that can be stapled are plain and recycled. Labels, thick

paper and OHP transparencies cannot be stapled.

• If positions other than those fixed for stapling are specified.

• If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in duplex mode and the

staple position.

• If paper sizes are mixed when a different paper size is specified during a

print job.

• When staples have run out.

• When feeding paper from the bypass tray.

• When staples have run out and Auto Continue is set, printing will continue

without stapling after the message has been displayed.

❒ When using the optional booklet finisher to select [2 at Center], the print job

will be canceled if the staples run out.

❒ Paper sizes that can be stapled when using the Mixed Size mode are as fol-

lows:

• A3 L and A4 K

ing orientation.

❒ Be sure to set the punch position the same as the staple position when using

it with the staple function.

❒ Be sure to set paper size and orientation in the printer driver when punching.

• Depending on the software you are using, print settings may not be ena-

bled and the printed result may not be as expected.

❒ Punch will be canceled under the following conditions:

• When a paper size that cannot be punched is selected. For information

about paper sizes that can be punched, see “Specifications”, General Set-

tings Guide.

• When a paper type that cannot be punched is selected. OHP transparencies

cannot be punched.

• If positions other than those fixed for punching are specified.

punch position.

• When feeding paper from the bypass tray.

• When the punch receptacle has become full and Auto Continue is set,

printing will continue without punching after the message appears.

Appendix

Collate

When printing multiple documents such as handouts for meetings, you can sep-

arate sets into order. This function is known as “Collate”. Collate stores data

transmitted from a computer in memory. The following are the three types of

collate:

❖ Collate

Printed output is assembled as sets in sequential order.

GPSY013E

❖ Rotating Collate

Every other print set is rotated by 90 degrees K.

GPSY014E

❖ Shift Collate

(The optional finisher is required for this function.)

The finisher shift tray moves backward or forward when a job or set is output,

causing the next to shift, so you can separate them.

GPSY015E

Limitation

❒ The optional finisher is required for Shift Collate.

❒ Rotating Collate is not possible when feeding paper from the bypass tray.

❒ Shift Collate is not possible when printing on 8¹/₂” × 5¹/₂”L.

❒ If jobs containing pages of various sizes are set, Rotating Collate will not

work.

❒ Rotating Collate, staple and punch functions cannot be combined.

Collate

Note

❒ You can set Collate in the RPCS™ printer driver.

• If you cannot make Shift Collate even with the optional finisher installed,

options may not be set up correctly in the printer driver. Correct the printer

driver's option settings. For details, see the printer driver Help.

❒ If Auto Continue occurs on the first set, Collate will be canceled.

❒ If forced printing occurs on the first set, Collate will be canceled.

❒ If a document with mixed paper sizes or sizes larger than A4, 8¹/₂“× 11” is

set, it can only be collated, even if Rotating Collate has been selected.

❒ When Cover/Slip Sheet or Chaptering has been selected, Collate or Shift Col-

late will occur even if Rotating Collate has been selected.

❒ When Rotating Collate has been selected, printing speed will be slower than

with other collate functions.

❒ When setting Collate in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate

option is not selected in the application's print settings. If a collate option is

selected, printing will not be as intended.

Reference

For information about paper sizes and the number of sets you can use Collate,

Rotating Collate, and Shift Collate with in every option, see Copy Reference.

For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.

Appendix

Spool Printing

Spool Printing allows print jobs transferred from a computer to be temporarily

stored, and then prints them after they are transferred. This shortens printing

time as it maximizes printer efficiency.

Important

❒ During Spool Printing, the hard disk is accessed and the Data-In indicator

blinks. Turning off the computer or machine during Spool Printing can dam-

age the hard disk. Also, if the computer or machine is turned off during Spool

Printing, spooled jobs will be deleted. Therefore, do not turn the power to the

computer or machine off during Spool Printing.
