Making Duplex Or Simplex Printing The Printer Default; Canceling A Print Job - IBM InfoPrint 20 User Manual

Making Duplex or Simplex Printing the Printer Default

Situation: You have the duplex unit installed and you want to make duplex
printing or simplex printing the printer default.
Note: Values set in print jobs (either by the print application or by the printer
driver) override values you set at the printer. If a print job specifies
simplex printing and the printer default is duplex, the printer honors
the print job setting and prints on one side only.
Action:
1. Press the Online key until you see OFFLINE in the display.
2. Press the Menu key until you see PAPER MENU in the display.
3. Press the Item key until you see DUPLEX=ON* or DUPLEX=OFF in the
display.
4. Press the Value key until you see the new value you want.
5. Press the Enter key to select the new setting. An asterisk appears next to
the value, showing that it is active.
6. To restore the printer to READY status, press the Online key.
Notes:
1. The BINDING item on the Paper Menu lets you specify how you want
duplex jobs to print. If BINDING is set to LONG (the default value) the
job prints as if the paper is to be bound along the long edge of the paper.
(On the left for portrait documents, along the top for landscape
documents.) If you set BINDING to SHORT, the job prints as if the paper
is to be bound along the short edge of the paper. (On the top for portrait
documents, on the left for landscape documents.)
2. If you install the duplex unit, you can also use your print driver to request
job offsetting. Note, however, that custom forms cannot be offset unless
the job is sent from an IPDS application (not PostScript or PCL) and the
form width is less than 297 mm.

Canceling a Print Job

Situation: You want to cancel the job that is currently printing.
Action:
1. Press the Online key to take the printer offline.
2. Press the Cancel Print key. The current job will be canceled and removed
from the queue after the printer completes the current page.
3. To restore the printer to READY status, press the Online key.
