6.1.7.4 Other Paper Handling

1) Paper Size/Paper Type settings for each tray from the Control Panel
As the Bypass Tray, 250 Sheet Feeder and 500 Sheet Feeder do not auto detect the paper size/
paper type, the paper size and paper type can be set for each tray from the Control Panel of the
printer.
When paper is loaded in the Bypass Tray, the 250 Sheet Feeder cassette or the 500 Sheet Feeder
cassette, a message will appear on the Control Panel to bring about the operation for the
corresponding paper type and size set in the relevant tray. The previous settings for paper size and
paper type would be considered first so that changes to the settings for the operation procedure will
be minimal.
There is, however, a mode where the message is not sent to the Control Panel.
2) Function for changing the Postcard paper type in the the printer main unit
Postcard paper type will automatically be chosen if a Postcard type that is not supported is specified
from an AP (MS Word etc) without setting in the printer driver.
Postcard paper type will automatically be chosen when Postcard size is specified for a print job by
specifying an unsupported paper type for Postcard size in the Control Panel.
3) Exception in handling when Postcard or Envelope is specified as the paper size from a driver
When Postcard or Envelope is selected as the output paper size for the Bypass Tray, a warning will
be displayed to the user, afterwhich the paper type will be changed to Postcard or Envelope.
However, the user can reset the paper type.

6.1.7.5 Auto Tray Switch

If paper runs out during a print job specified as Auto feed by the user and paper of the same size
and type is available in another tray, the printer will automatically switch to that tray and continue
printing.
* When the optional tray modules are installed

6-11

Chapter 6 General
6.1 Specifications
6.1.7.6 Load While Run
The machine will continue printing when a tray not in use is pulled out. Therefore, the user can load
paper in other trays during printing. (Enables Load While Run from the downstream tray module
even when the upstream cassette has been removed.)
* When the optional tray modules are installed

6.1.7.7 Loading Envelopes

The standard of loading is to open the flap and place the envelope in the MSI such that the flap is at
the back in the feeding direction (the printing side facing up). However, if the width exceeds the
possible feeding size for the above method, close the flap and do a SEF print. The combinations are
as follows:
Youkei 2, Youkei 3 LEF Flap open
Choukei 3, C5
SEF Flap open

6.1.8.6 3rd Party Mode
There is a mode to disable the NearEmpty Warning for toner cartridge so that a refillable toner
cartridge that has been refilled with toner after NearEmpty has occurred once can be used again.
This printer counts the time taken to dispense the toner. If the dispense time exceeds the regular
time taken, a NearEmpty Warning is given. Also, if toner concentration stops rising when printing is
continued, it is considered that the toner life has expired. As this dispense time is recorded in the
CRUM, the NearEmpty Warning will occur as usual if NearEmpty has occurred once on a refillable
toner cartridge and the refilled cartridge is installed again.
When this mode is set, the following are changed:
When this mode is displayed, NearEnd Warning does not appear.
Does not display the amount of remaining toner. (EWS, SimpleMonitor)
Although the ProCon frequency is increased in the NearEnd status to guarantee print, the
ProCon frequency is not increased in this mode.
For this reason, although refillable toners are used, the ProCon frequency is increased when the
toner is full to prevent problems such as toner spurting out.
However, as the data in the CRUM is not saved and the required ProCon frequency is low when
toner runs low, image quality guarantee is not applicable in this mode. In addition, the toners cannot
be set separately for each individual color in this mode.
* As toner Life End is detected by toner concentration, the machine is stopped in the same way as
in Normal mode.
* Only toner cartridges that can be used in Normal mode can be used in the 3rd Party Mode. For
example, if a NEC toner cartridge is installed in a FX printer, there will be an error and operation
does not start, as in a normal case.
* For the drum, there is no operation that is specific to the 3rd Party Mode.
* Unlike DocuPrint C2428, the life of the toner cartridge cannot be extended after toner Empty has
occurred once even by setting to 3rd Party Mode because the toner cartridge is considered
Empty in toner concentration. (Printing cannot be carried out unless the toner cartridge is
replaced and the toner concentration recovered.)

6.1.8.7 Maintenance
1) Firmware Update
User can update the ESS, NIC and MCU Firmware.
Update can be done from a Windows PC with the dedicated utility.

Setting IP Address
When the printer is connected to the network, it retrieves the IP address automatically from the
DHCP server once it is switched on.
If the DHCP server is not available or not in use, use one of the following methods to retrieve and
set the IP address.
Set the IP address from the Control Panel.
Use the IP Address Setting Tool in the CentreWare CD-ROM bundled with this printer.

IMPORTANT

When using the DHCP server, the IP address may be changed so you need
to check the IP address on a regular basis.
When using the DHCP server in the WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)
environment, the network expansion card is required.
The address information can also be retrieved automatically via the BOOTP
or RARP servers. For such cases, change the [Get IP Address] selection on
the Control Panel to [BOOTP] or [RARP].
The IP address is controlled by the whole network system. Setting an
incorrect IP address may have an adverse effect on the whole network
system. Please check with your network administrator if you have any
questions concerning your network environment.
