b. Interface settings
These programs are used to control data transmitted to the
parallel port or network port of this printer.
1) Port switching method
The machine can use the three ports shown below for printing.
This program is used to select when switching between ports will
take place. "SWITCH AT END OF JOB" or "SWITCH AFTER I/O
TIMEOUT" can be selected. When "SWITCH AT END OF JOB" is
selected, the port will be automatically selected after each print job
is completed. When "SWITCH AFTER I/O TIMEOUT" is selected,
the port will be automatically selected if the time set in the I/O
Timeout program elapses.
• Parallel port
• USB port
• Network port
2) Enable parallel port
This program is used to enable or disable printing from the parallel
port.
Default setting: Enable
3) Enable USB port
This program is used to enable or disable printing from the USB
port.
Default setting: Enable
4) Enable network port
This program is used to enable or disable printing from the
network port.
Default setting: Enable
5) 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.
c. Network settings
These programs are set when this product is used as a network
printer.
After you complete the setting for one program, you must exit the
key operator programs, turn off the main switch, wait briefly, and
then turn on the main switch again before any other programs can
be set. The program that was set will be effective after the power
is turned on.
NOTE: For setting and modification of "Network settings", be sure
to consult with the network administrator.
1) IP address setting
When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP proto-
col, use this program to set the IP address (IP address, IP subnet
mask, and IP gateway) of this product. The program is set to
ENABLE DHCP by factory default setting, which obtains the IP
address setting automatically. When using this product on a TCP/
IP network, be sure to turn on the "Enable TCP/IP" program
below.
If DHCP is used, the IP address assigned to the machine may
be changed automatically on occasion.
If this happens, printing will not be possible.
2) Enable TCP/IP
When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP
protocol, set this program. Also set the IP address using the
program "IP address setting" above.
Default setting: Enable
AR-BC260 PRINTER CONTROLLER SECTION 14 - 10
3) Enable NetWare
When using this product in a network that uses the NetWare
protocol, set this program.
Default setting: Enable
4) Enable NetBEUI
When using this product in a network that uses the NetBEUI
protocol, set this program.
Default setting: Enable
5) Reset the NIC
This program is used to reset all setting items of NIC (Network
Interface Card, namely Print Server Card) of this product to the
factory default settings.
NOTE: If any of the [NETWORK SETTINGS] were changed prior
to execution of this program, you must turn off the main
switch after exiting the key operator program, wait briefly,
and then turn on the main switch to make the factory
default settings take effect.
d. Color adjustments
This program is used to automatically adjust the color tone of each
color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
1) Auto color calibration
The Auto Color Calibration program enables automatic color
gradation correction when the color is off.
NOTE: The color gradation may not be sufficiently corrected after
one correction cycle. If so, execute the program again.
When the [AUTO COLOR CALIBRATION] key is touched, the
following display will appear.
KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS
AUTO COLOR CALIBRATION
USE 11"X17" OR A3 PAPER FOR THIS ADJUSTMENT.
PRESS [EXECUTE] TO PRINT THE TEST PATCH.
After the [EXECUTE] key is touched and a test patch printed, a
message appears asking you to begin automatic adjustment.
Place the test patch on the document glass as shown below and
touch the [EXECUTE] key.
Black
NOTES:
• Correct adjustment will not be possible if you use the test patch
that is printed for "Auto color calibration" for the copy function or
any other document. If you attempt to use the wrong test patch,
you will return to the message screen that asks you to begin
automatic adjustment. Be sure to place only the test patch
printed out above on the document glass.
• Lay approximately five sheets of copy paper that are the same
size as the test patch on top of the set test patch, and gently
close the original cover.
When a message appears informing you that auto color calibration
is completed, touch the [OK] key to end the procedure.
NOTE: Before using this program, make sure that the registration
is correctly adjusted. If the registration is not correctly
adjusted, perform [AUTO ADJUSTMENT] in "Registration
adjustment".
