various printer functions.

Prohibit notice page printing

This program is used to disable notice page printing.
Turn on this program when you do not want the
machine to print the notice page explained in "NOTICE
PAGE PRINTING" on page
Normally this program is set to not print a notice page.

Print density level

This program is used to adjust the lightness or
darkness of prints.
Five levels are provided for density adjustment. These
are represented by numbers displayed on the touch
panel. Among the displayed numbers, a smaller value
indicates lighter density and a larger value indicates a
darker density.

Prohibit test page printing

This program is used to disable test page printing.
When the program is turned on, the PRINTER TEST
PAGE in the custom settings cannot be printed. (See
page 2-15 of "Operation manual (for general
information and copier operation)")

A4/letter size auto change

If this program is set, and printing onto 8-1/2" x 11" size
paper is selected but not available, the printer will
automatically substitute A4 size paper in place of
8-1/2" x 11" paper if A4 paper is available.
* 8-1/2" x 11" paper cannot be automatically selected in
place of A4.
NOTE
When 8-1/2" x 11" size is specified for a document
attached to an E-mail that has been transmitted from
a foreign country and A4 size paper is not installed in
the printer, printing cannot be done without operator
intervention. If this program is set, printing will be
executed without intervention if a paper tray is
loaded with A4 paper.

Interface settings

These programs are used to control data transmitted to
the parallel port, USB port or network port of this

computer in the hexadecimal dump format with
corresponding characters (ASCII). This program is
used to check proper transmission of print data from
the computer to the printer.

I/O timeout

This program is used to set the length of time to wait for
an I/O to complete a job on the parallel port or the
network port. If the data stream to the port does not
transmit data for a length of time exceeding the
timeout, the job will cancel and the next job will start
processing.
The I/O timeout setting is used to set the amount of time
after which an I/O timeout will occur when waiting for
print data.
Default setting: 20 seconds
NOTE
The allowable range of the time is 1 to 999 seconds.
