Share Mode; Printer Priority Mode - Ricoh Aficio 401 Operating Instructions Manual

Share Mode

The factory default is Share mode, and the Copier screen displays when the
machine is powered up. The Share mode screen shifts when the following
occurs:
A user sends a print job through any of the external Input/Output (I/O)
ports (parallel, serial, or the optional network interface).
A user presses the [Printer/Scanner] button on the Control Panel.
You can use the machine as a copier when the Copier screen displays.
When the Share mode screen displays, you can change to the Copier
screen by pressing the [Copy] button on the Control Panel. When jobs are
printing, and you press the [Copy] button, the Copier screen displays after
the current print job is completed. Any remaining print jobs are interrupted
and will continue printing after you complete your copy job.
When the machine is in Share mode, all print jobs are received as they are
sent, regardless of whether the machine is printing or copying.
You can access the various modes (for example, Printer Priority mode,
Printer Only mode, or Scanner Only mode) from the Share mode screen.
To perform this task, you must set the status of the machine to offline,
access the Setup menu, access the Configuration menu, and specify the
mode setting you want using the "Mode" selection.
When you are in Share mode, each time you request a mode change, the
change is made on the job boundary (this means that the current job
completes before the machine changes to the requested mode). When you
are in Printer Priority mode, the machine operates in the same manner as in
Share mode, except that the machine does not interrupt the currently
queued print jobs to access the Copier screen.

Printer Priority Mode

When set to Printer Priority mode, the machine functions the same as when
set to Share mode, except that you cannot interrupt a copier job (the
[Interrupt] button is disabled).
