If Auto Continue is enabled, the machine waits for a specified period (0, 1, 5, 10, 15 minutes) for the correct size paper to be set in the tray, then cancels the print job if the interval expires.

    CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS 4.2.3 PAPER OUTPUT TRAY The default paper output tray for each application (copy/fax/printer) can be selected using the System Settings menu in the user tools. (User Tools/ System Settings/ General Features) If a print job does not specify an output tray or if the driver specifies the default tray, the default paper output tray is used.

    4.3 SCANNER FUNCTIONS 4.3.1 IMAGE PROCESSING FOR SCANNER MODE The image processing for scanner mode is done in the IPU chip on the BICU board. The IPU chip chooses the most suitable image processing methods (gamma tables, dither patterns, etc) depending on the settings made in the driver. The image compression method can be selected with SP mode (MR/MH/MMR for binary picture processing).

    4.5.5 REMARKS ABOUT THIS INTERFACE KIT Note the following points about this unit. • The machine does not print reports specifically for IEEE1394. Just print the Configuration Page at installation to check that the machine recognizes the card. • There is no spooler or print queue. If a computer tries to print over the IEEE1394 while the printer is busy, the IEEE1394 interface card inside the printer will return a busy signal.
