6 Features and Functions

Features and Functions

Extensive Client Platform Support

This equipment supports printing from IBM-compatible PC, Macintosh, and UNIX/Linux workstations. Not all features are

supported on all platforms, however.

Various Port Options

You can map this equipment to print to an SMB, IPP, Raw TCP, WSD, or LPR port.

Multiple Job Types

Job Types refer to the way this equipment handles a print job.

The Normal mode requires no special handling and is the most frequently used printing mode.

Scheduled Print lets you specify the time and date at which to print a job.

The Private Print mode allows you to hold a job in the print queue until you enter a password at the copier touch panel

to print the job.

The Hold Print mode allows you to hold a job in the hold queue until you continue the job from the touch panel.

The Proof Print mode prints the first copy of a multi-copy job and then awaits your approval before printing the

remaining copies.

Overlay File prints a document element, such as text or graphics, to a file for superimposing on the background of

other documents.

The Store to e-Filing mode allows you to store the printed document in e-Filing.

The Multiple Job Type feature allows you to print jobs of more than one type together. For example, you can store a job

in the specified e-Filing and print it at the specified time by combining Scheduled Print and Store to e-Filing.

Professional Finishing Options

Depending on the type of finishing units you have installed on this equipment, you can choose to sort, group, fold and

staple your documents (including saddle-stitching) and punch binding holes.

Sophisticated Document Layout and Assembly Options

You can choose whether to print your document as you have set it up in the application, or to impose printer-driven

document layout options such as printing in Book Format or printing Multiple Pages per Sheet.

Additionally, the printer drivers provide the ability to print selected pages on different media. This includes printing front

and back covers, inserting sheets at predefined positions within the document, or interleaving pages so that every other

page is inserted blank or printed on a different type of media.

Various Sizes of Printing Paper Available

You can use paper larger than the standard sizes defined in the custom paper size setting when you print data created

with applications.

Watermark and Image Overlay Support

Watermarks are a great way to subtly convey useful information about your printed documents. Common watermarks are

“Confidential,” “Draft,” and “Original.” Several watermarks have been pre-defined for use with your documents, or you can

create and save your own custom watermarks.

Watermarks consist of text. Image Overlays can be any combination of text, graphics or other document elements.

Printing watermarks consumes fewer resources than using Image Overlays, so you should use watermarks wherever

possible, particularly when printing speed is an issue.
