Custom Paper Type

Printing onto prepunched paper, preprinted paper or letterhead in the one-sided mode and the two-sided mode from the same paper source may cause displacement of hole positions or reverse orientations on both sides in two-sided printing. Set Match Print Direction to match the orientation in one-sided printing and two-sided printing. Example: Paper is set as shown in the illustration.

Setting of Match Print Direction will decrease the speed of one-sided printing a little. With the setting of Match Print Direction, set the paper with the side for the first page face-down as shown in illustration A. (If the optional finisher is installed, set the paper with the side for the first page face-down as shown in illustration B.)

Auto Drum Refresh Setting
If the machine is used under the high humidity environment, there might be the possibility to get horizontal line on the half tone section which is printed. In this case, please follow the following procedure to set for performing drum refresh automatically. Once auto drum refresh is set On, the drum refresh will be performed when turning on the main power switch or Power key.

Appendix-8

IP Address The Internet Protocol address is a unique number that is assigned to each computer in a network. The format of an IP Address is four numbers separated by dots, e.g. 192.168.110.171. Each number should be a decimal between 0 and 255. IPP (Internet Print Protocol) This enables output to the printer from a printer driver over the Internet or an intranet and via an IPP port. Using IPP, output to a remote printer is possible over the Internet. KIR This is Kyocera Mitas original smoothing function. It uses software to enhance the printers resolution and produce high-quality printing. The default setting is On. KPDL This is Kyocera Mitas page description language compatible with Adobe PostScript Level 3. Logical Printer This is a software interface that exists between the Windows OS and the printers connected to it. A printer refers to the actual device that prints out, while a logical printer refers to the software interface that resides on the print server. By using this interface, the method of processing print jobs as well as the method of sending that job to its destination (local port, network port, file or remote printer sharing) is determined. When printing a document, the document data is first spooled (stored) in the logical printer from which it is then sent to the actual printer. Low power mode This mode is provided for power saving. This mode is activated when operation on the main body and transmission or reception of data do not occur for a preset time. In this mode, the machine consumes less power than in the standby mode. The default setting of the preset time is 15 minute. You can use the operation panel to change this time. Multi Purpose tray This is a paper feed tray located at the left side of the main body. When printing onto envelopes, postcards, transparencies or labels, set them in the multi purpose tray instead of the cassette. NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface) This is a network protocol developed by International Business Machines Corporation in 1985 and an enhanced version of the NetBIOS protocol. It gives higher performance on small-scale networks than other protocols such as TCP/IP. However, because it does not provide the routing function that selects the most appropriate route from among multiple routes, it is not proper for large-scale network configurations. Since NetBEUI is the standard protocol of IBMs OS/2 and Microsoft Corporation's Windows series, these companies offer file sharing and printing services that utilize NetBEUI. Outline font With outline fonts, character outlines are represented with numerical expressions and fonts can be enlarged or reduced in different ways by changing the numeric values of those expressions. Printing remains clear even if you enlarge fonts, since the characters are defined with outlines represented with numerical expressions. You can specify the font size in steps of 0.25 points up to 999.75 points. Parallel interface With this interface, data transfer between this machine and a computer takes place in 8-bit chunks. This machine can perform IEEE1284 compatible bi-directional communications.

Appendix-9

PostScript This is a page description language developed by Adobe Systems, Inc. It provides flexible font functions and high-performance graphics, allowing higher quality printing. The initial version of PostScript which was introduced in 1985 is currently referred to as Level 1. Level 2, which was compatible with color printing and 2-byte languages such as Japanese, was introduced in 1990 while Level 3, which added compatibility to Internet, step-by-step implementation level, and PDF, was brought out in 1996. PPM (prints per minute) This indicates the number of A4 size printouts that can be made in one minute. Printer driver The printer driver is software used for printing data created using application software. The printer driver is contained in the supplied CD-ROM. Install the printer driver on the computer connected to this machine. Sleep mode This mode is provided for power saving. This mode is activated when operation on the main body and transmission or reception of data do not occur for a preset time. In this mode, consumed power is reduced to the minimum. The default setting of the preset time is 30 minutes (16/20 ppm model) or 45 minutes (25 ppm model). You can use the operation panel to change this time. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) This is a protocol for transmission of e-mail over the Internet or an intranet. It is used for transferring mail between mail servers as well as for sending mail from each client to their server. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) This is a protocol for monitoring and controlling communication equipment connected to a network such as routers, computers, and terminals through the network that uses TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Status page This lists machine conditions such as the machines memory, the total number of copies and prints, and paper source settings. You can print the status page from the operation panel of this machine. Subnet Mask This is a 32-bit numerical value that defines which bits of the IP address specify the network address for identifying the network. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) TCP/IP is a network protocol designed to define the way computers and other devices communicate each other over a network. USB (Universal Serial Bus) This machine is equipped with USB interface that supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0. The maximum transfer rate is 480 Mbps for high-speed data transmission.
