PRINTER FUNCTIONS
The machine includes a USB 1.1 connector and a parallel connector as standard equipment.
A computer can be connected to these connectors to use the machine as a printer. 
To use the machine as a printer, the printer driver must first be installed as explained in the Software Setup Guide.
USING THE PRINTER MODE
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for loading copy paper. See LOADING PAPER. (p.13)
BASIC PROCEDURE FOR PRINTING
The basic procedure for printing is explained below. To use convenient printer functions, see the Online Manual or 
the printer driver help file.
1Make sure that paper is loaded in the 
tray.
The procedure for loading paper is the same as for 
copying. See LOADING PAPER (p.13) and make 
sure the paper that you wish to use is loaded.
2Make sure that the ON LINE indicator 
( ) on the operation panel is lit.
If the ON LINE indicator 
( ) is not lit, press the [ON 
LINE] key ( ). When the 
indicator is not lit, the 
machine is off-line and 
cannot print. When the 
indicator is blinking, a print 
job is transferred to the 
machine.
3Open the file that you wish to print 
and select Print from the File menu.
4Make sure that the printer driver for 
the machine is selected, and select 
print settings in the printer driver.
For information on the settings in the printer 
driver, see the Online Manual, the Software 
Setup Guide, or the printer driver help file.
5Click the Print button or the OK 
button to begin printing.
The print job will be delivered to the paper output 
tray.
Important points when setting the paper size
Make sure that the trays paper size setting is the 
same as the trays paper size setting in the printer 
driver. For example, if the trays paper size setting is 
A4R, set Setting Paper Size to A4-R. For more 
information, see CONFIGURING THE PRINTER 
DRIVER in the Software Setup Guide.
If a problem occurs in printer mode, see TROUBLESHOOTING (p.40).
When interrupt copying is being performed, printing is not possible.Note
Print jobs received while the machine is copying will be stored in memory. When the copy job is finished, the 
print jobs will begin printing.
Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed 
occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time. 
If an original misfeed occurs in the SPF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and the 
SPF is restored to a usable state.Note
Make sure that the paper size setting on the 
machine is the same as the paper size set in 
the printer driver.Note

USER SETTINGS
This chapter explains how to set the automatic exposure level, toner save mode/high image quality mode, and the 
user programs, which are custom settings that control fine points of the machine’s operation.
ADJUSTING THE AUTOMATIC 
EXPOSURE LEVEL
The exposure level used in automatic exposure adjustment, which automatically adjusts the copy exposure 
according to the original, can be adjusted. If copies tend to be too dark or too light when automatic exposure 
adjustment is used, follow the steps below to adjust the automatic exposure level.
The automatic exposure level can be adjusted separately for the document glass and the SPF.
1To adjust the automatic exposure 
level in the SPF, place the original in 
the SPF. (p.19)
Make sure that the SPF indicator is lit.
2Press the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] key 
( / / ) to select PHOTO 
().
3Hold down the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] 
key ( / / ) until the AUTO 
indicator ( ) blinks.
The exposure level 
indicators show the 
current setting.
4Press the [Light] key ( ) or [Dark] 
key ( ) to lighten or darken the 
automatic exposure level as desired.
5Press the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] key 
( / / ) to complete the 
setting.
The AUTO indicator ( ) stops blinking and 
lights steadily.
The copy and printer cannot be used while the automatic exposure level is being adjusted.Note
To adjust the automatic exposure level for 
copies made from originals placed on the 
document glass, proceed to step 2.Note

TONER SAVE MODE AND HIGH 
IMAGE QUALITY MODE

increasing copy density with a slight increase of toner consumption.
To switch between toner save mode and high image quality mode, follow the steps below.
1Press the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] key 
( / / ) to select TEXT 
().
2Hold down the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] 
key ( / / ) until the PHOTO 
indicator ( ) blinks.

quality mode, press the [Dark] key 
().
When enabling toner 
save mode, make sure 
that 1 is lit.
When enabling high 
image quality mode, 
make sure that 5 is lit.
