Advanced Features and Troubleshooting Manual 3

Advanced Features

Secure prints, proof prints, and saved prints You can choose one of the following special job types:

Secure Print: Print confidential documents; your four-digit numerical password (PIN)-protected jobs are stored on the printers hard disk drive. The jobs print only after you enter the PIN (4-digit number) on the printer's front panel.

Proof Print: Print only one copy of a multiple copy job so you can proof the copy. If you want to print the remaining copies, select the job name on the printer's front panel.

Saved Print: Store the job on the hard disk so you can print it on demand. The job is not deleted after printing.

Note

These jobs are stored on the hard drive and remain in the printer even when it is powered off. There is a limit of 50 jobs allowed on the hard drive. After you have reached the 50 job limit, the oldest job will be automatically deleted.

Printing secure print, proof print, and saved print jobs

You specify that the job is a secure print, proof print, or saved print job in a supported driver:

Windows 95 / Windows 98 PostScript driver: On the Setup tab, choose the job type. For a secure print job, enter a numerical password (up to four-digits) to assign to this job. For proof prints and saved prints, enter the name you want to give this job.

Windows 2000 / Windows NT driver: On the Output Options tab, choose the job type. For a secure print job, enter a numerical password (up to four-digits) to assign to this job. For proof print and saved print jobs, enter the name you want to give this job.

LaserWriter 8.6 or 8.7 driver: In the Print dialog box, select the Job Type pull-down menu, then choose the job type. For a secure print job, enter a numerical password (up to four-digits) to assign to this job. For saved print job, also enter the name you want to give this job.

To print your secure print jobs, specify the PIN (4-digit password) on the printer's front panel:

1. With Menus highlighted, scroll to the Printable Pages Menu by pressing the Down Arrow key.

2. Press the OK key.

3. Scroll to Secure Print Jobs by pressing the Down Arrow key.

4. Press the OK key.

6. Press the OK key.

7. Repeat step 5 for the second, third, and fourth digits.

8. Scroll to Print by pressing the Down Arrow key.

9. Press the OK key to print all jobs sharing that PIN.

To print a saved print job or the remaining copies of a proof print job, select the job name on the printer's front panel:

1. With Menus highlighted, scroll to the Printable Pages Menu by pressing the Down Arrow key.

2. Press the OK key.

3. Scroll to Proof Print Jobs or Saved Print Jobs (as applicable) by pressing the Down Arrow key.

10. Press the OK key to print the job.

To delete a saved print job or the remaining copies of a proof print job, select the job name on the printer's front panel:

1. With Menus highlighted, scroll to the Printable Pages Menu by pressing the Down Arrow key.

2. Press the OK key.

3. Scroll to Proof Print Jobs or Saved Print Jobs by pressing the Down Arrow key.

Advanced Features and Troubleshooting Manual 5

Advanced Features

Separation pages You can have the printer insert a separation page (a divider page) after a print job, between copies of a print job, or between individual pages of a print job. You can also specify the tray/source to use for the separation pages.

You can specify separation pages in a supported driver:

Windows 95 / Windows 98 PostScript driver: On the Output Options tab, select the location of the separation pages and, if desired, the source.

Windows 2000 / Windows NT driver: On the Output Options tab, select the location of the separation pages and, if desired, the source.

LaserWriter 8.6 or 8.7 driver: In the Print dialog box, select the Advanced Media Handling pull-down menu, then select the location of the separation pages and, if desired, the source.

Note

When stapling is activated, the separation page will be stapled to the prints.

Collating copies When you print multiple copies of a print job, you can have it collated at the printer. Each copy (pages 1, 2, and 3, etc.) is printed before the next copy. Otherwise, the printer prints all copies of page 1, then all copies of page 2, etc.

Note

Many applications have a collate option in their Print dialog box. Since collation done at the printer is faster than collation performed by an application, select collation in the printer driver for faster printing of a collated job.

You can specify collation in a supported driver:

Windows 95 / Windows 98 PostScript driver: On the Output Options tab, check the Collate checkbox.

Windows 2000 / Windows NT driver: On the Output Options tab, check the Collate checkbox.

LaserWriter 8.6 or 8.7 driver: In the Print dialog box, select the Advanced Media Handling pull-down menu, then select whether to have Quick Collate on or off.

Advanced Features

N-up When printing a multiple-page document, you can choose to print more than one page on a single sheet of paper. You can choose to print one, two, four, six, nine, or 16 pages per sheet. When you print more than one page on a sheet, you can also print a border around each page.

You can select N-up in a supported driver:

Windows 95 / Windows 98 PostScript driver: On the Setup tab, click the More Layout Options button, then choose the number of pages per sheet from the drop-down list.

Booklet printing You can print a document in the form of a small book. The printer automatically reduces each page image by 50 percent and prints two pages per sheet of paper. The pages are printed in the correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create a booklet.

Note

You can create booklets for any paper size that is supported for 2-sided (duplex) printing.

Advanced Features

When you choose Print Booklet Style, you can also specify the creep and gutter. The gutter is the horizontal distance from the fold to the page image (in points). The creep is the distance that page images are shifted inward (in 10ths of a point); this compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which otherwise would cause the inner page images to shift slightly outward.

You can select booklet printing in a supported Windows driver:

Color and Color Sampler Charts

Color and Color Sampler Charts You can have the colors on your print match particular press specifications or match your computer screens colors. To do this, pick a color correction in the printer driver; see page 3 for more information.

You can use color sampler charts to help select the colors to use in your application. Refer to the next section for more information.

For information on PANTONE Colors, refer to page 15.

Color Sampler Charts Color sampler charts are colored rectangles with each colors component values; they help you select colors in an application that can be reproduced on your printer.

Component values are percentages of each color CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black), RGB (Red, Green, Blue), or HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) that combine to make a particular color.

Which color chart you print and use depends on how your application selects color. For information on color selection, refer to the applications documentation, then print one or more of the color sampler charts.
