3-3 PRINTER Contents PRINTER FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE The machine is equipped standard with a full colour printing function. To enable printing from your computer, a printer driver must be installed. See the table below to determine which printer driver to use in your environment. * Cannot be used when the printer expansion kit is installed. Installing the printer driver in a Windows environment To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Windows environment, see 2. SETUP IN A WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT in the Software Setup Guide. Installing the printer driver in a Macintosh environment In a Macintosh environment, the printer expansion kit and PS3 expansion kit must be installed to use the machine as a network printer. To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Macintosh environment, see 3. SETUP IN A MACINTOSH ENVIRONMENT in the Software Setup Guide. EnvironmentPrinter driver typeRemarks Windows SAPL-c This is the SHARP proprietary printer driver. The printer driver compresses the data in each print job before sending the job to the machine, enabling smooth printing. (SAPL is an acronym for Sharp Advanced Printing Language.) Can be used in the standard machine configuration.* PCL6 The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 printer control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer driver.The printer expansion kit is required. PS This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and enables the machine to be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer. (A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS printer driver.)The printer expansion kit and PS3 expansion kit are required. Macintosh The explanations in this manual of printing in a Windows environment generally use the screens of the PCL6 printer driver. The printer driver screens may differ slightly depending on the printer driver that you are using.

3-4 PRINTER Contents BASIC PRINTING PROCEDURE The following example explains how to print a document from WordPad, which is a standard accessory program in Windows. PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 1 Select [Print] from the [File] menu of WordPad. If you are using Windows 7, click the button. The menu used to execute printing may vary depending on the software application. 2 Open the printer driver properties window. (1) Select the printer driver of the machine. If the printer drivers appear as icons, click the icon of the printer driver to be used. If the printer drivers appear as a list, select the name of the printer driver to be used from the list. (2) Click the [Preferences] button. If you are using Windows 2000, the [Preferences] button does not appear. Click a tab on the Print dialog box to adjust the settings on that tab. The button that is used to open the printer driver properties window (usually [Properties] or [Printing Preferences]) may vary depending on the software application. (1)(2)

3-5 PRINTER Contents 3 Select print settings. (1) Click the [Paper] tab. (2) Select the paper size. To select settings on other tabs, click the desired tab and then select the settings. (3) Click the [OK] button. Make sure the paper size is the same as the paper size set in the software application. Up to eight custom paper sizes can be stored. Storing a custom paper size makes it easy to specify that size each time you need to use it. To store a paper size, select [Custom Paper] or one of [User1] to [User7] from the pull-down menu and click the [Custom] button. 4 Click the [Print] button. Printing begins. (1)(2) (3)

3-6 PRINTER Contents SELECTING THE PAPER This section explains how to configure the Paper Selection setting on the [Paper] tab of the printer driver properties window. Before printing, check the paper sizes, paper types, and paper remaining in the machines trays. To view the most recent tray information, click the [Tray Status] button. When [Auto Select] is selected in Paper Source The tray that has the size and type of paper selected in Paper Size and Paper Type on the [Paper] tab is automatically selected. When other than [Auto Select] is selected in Paper Source The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the Paper Size setting. When [Bypass Tray] is selected The Paper Type must also be selected. Check the bypass tray and make sure that the desired type of paper is loaded, and then select the appropriate Paper Type setting. When [Auto Select] is selected in Paper Type A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in Paper Size is automatically selected. (The factory default setting is plain paper only.) When other than [Auto Select] is selected in Paper Type A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in Paper Size is used for printing. Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray. For the procedure for loading paper and other media in the bypass tray, see LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY (page 1-32) in 1. BEFORE USING THE MACHINE. When Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray (disabled by factory default) or Enable Selected Paper Type in Bypass Tray (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator), printing will not take place if the paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings of the bypass tray. System Settings (Administrator): Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select When [Auto Select] is selected in Paper Selection, specify whether or not the paper in the bypass tray will be excluded from the paper that can be selected. This setting is disabled by factory default, and thus paper in the bypass tray is included in the paper that can be automatically selected. If special media are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended that this setting be enabled.
