2.1.4 FEATURES

Sorting
If "Collate" is turned on and a multi-print job is printed, the first sheet of the job will
be printed directly. At the same time, the image data for the print job is stored in the
hard disk of the machine. When the machine prints the next sheet, it will be printed
from the hard disk.
If the finisher is not installed, the rotate sort feature can be used. The MSU rotates
the image, in the same manner as image rotation for the printer.
Proof Print
The Proof Print function gives users a chance to check the print results before
starting a multiple-set print run.
When printing from a host computer, a print job is sent to the controller with a user
ID and the current time. Then the controller executes raster image processing,
stores the image data onto the proof print partition of the hard disk on the machine,
and prints one set of the document.
After the user checks that the print result is OK, the user selects the file using the
machine's operation panel, and prints the rest of the sets. After all sets have been
printed, the controller deletes the file automatically.
If the proof print result is not OK, the user must delete the file manually.
If there is no available space for a new file or a new page in the proof print
partition, the machine displays the overflow status after receiving the new file or
new page. The machine prints only one sheet of a file that was received during
overflow status and generates error log information.
The error log information can be confirmed on the LCD using the user menu (Proof
print – Show error log). The error log contains the user ID and time information.
The machine can keep the latest 20 error logs. When the new error log is
generated, the machine deletes the oldest error log.
NOTE: 1) The proof print partition size is about 720 MB. It can hold up to 30 files
or about 965 pages. The maximum number of pages depends on how
complex the pages are.
2) Proof print is available with PCL drivers, Windows 95/98 PostScript
drivers, and Macintosh PostScript drivers (with the Proof Print plug-in).
The PostScript drivers for Windows 3.x and Windows NT 4.0 do not
support the proof print function.
