Direct Printing of PDF Files
This feature is available when the optional hard disk drive or 
compact flash is installed.
You can send a PDF file directly to the printer for printing without 
using the printer driver. As the print data is sent directly to the 
printer, the printing process is simpler than printing with the printer 
driver and it is done at a faster speed. The way to print a PDF file 
directly is as follows.
Using PostScript Feature
You can use the PostScript feature to send a PDF file to the printer 
directly for printing.
PDF Files That Can Be Printed
PDF files that can be printed are those created by Adobe Acrobat 4 
and Adobe Acrobat 5 (except one part of the features added by PS 
1.4).
NOTE
>You may not be able to print some PDF files directly by the 
printer due to the way they were created. When this 
happens, open the PDF files and use the printer driver to 
print them.

Security Issues
E-mails are sent via the Internet, connecting computers from all 
over the world. As a result, caution must be made relating to 
security issues such that information is not easily seen or altered by 
third parties.
Therefore, we recommend that you use methods to ensure that 
important information is secured. You are also advised not to reveal 
the e-mail address of this printer to third parties to avoid receiving 
spam.
Caution on Connecting This Printer to Internet Provider 
and Using E-mail Features
•In the case where a flat-rate contract with the Internet 
provider exists and the user is not always connected to the 
network, a telephone charge will be incurred every time this 
printer retrieves data regularly from the mail server.

							B6500 User’s Guide> 35
•Connect the printer to an IP private address. Functionality of 
this printer is not guaranteed when it is assigned public IP 
addresses.
•When receiving e-mails via POP, always apply an exclusive e-
mail account for the printer. Using a common e-mail account 
shared with other users will result in errors.
•When the internet connection speed is slow, it takes time to 
receive huge data such as image data.
•There are also providers that allow reception of e-mails via 
SMTP. Detailed adjustments with the provider is required for 
such cases.
•When setting up the e-mail configuration in an environment 
where MTA support is set up in private segments, match the 
operating configuration.
