    3-11 In either job mode, when printing a document, the print data is transferred from the computer to the printer then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Since copies of the document are printed us- ing the stored data, printing is performed faster with less compu- ter spooling time and less network traffic.
  • Page 28: Quick Copy

    Job storage requires a hard disk installed in the printer. Howev- er, printing barcoded job IDs on documents is possible using the RAM disk feature of the printer. On how to use the RAM disk, see Operating a RAM Disk on page 3-34.
  • Page 29 Since you can proof the printouts before printing the re- maining copies, wastage of paper can be reduced. The printer prints one copy and, at the same time, saves the print job on the hard disk. You can also change the number of copies when resuming printing from the operator panel.

    There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is affect- ed by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut.
  • Page 81 Thickness (Caliper) Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as low-caliper paper. The paper used with the printer should be nei- ther extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having prob- lems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin.
