OTHER CONTROL FEATURES
The printer has the following useful features:
Reprint Function
You can use the FF/CONT switch as a Reprint switch, you can reprint the
last printed page without sending it again from your computer.
After you have finished printing, press the SELECT switch to turn the
printer off-line and press the FF/CONT switch, so that the printer starts
reprinting the last printed page. If you press the FF/CONT switch one or
more times during reprinting, the printer reprints the page as many times
as you pressed the switch.
Note
The reprint data remains in the printer’s memory until the printer is
reset, the emulation is changed, or some other settings are changed.
After you have printed confidential data, be sure to reset the printer to
clear it from the printer’s memory.
You can enable or disable this reprint function with the supplied
Remote Printer Console program. See the software setup guide for
more information about RPC.
Sleep Mode
Whether the printer is in the on-line or off-line state, and the printer does
not receive data for a certain period of time (time out), it enters sleep
mode. Sleep mode acts as though the printer was turned off. The factory
set default time out is 15 minutes. While the printer is in sleep mode, all
the lamps are off and it is as if it was turned off, but the printer can still
receive data from the computer. Receiving a print file or document
automatically wakes up the printer to start printing. Pressing any switch
also wakes up the printer.
Note
This printer has no power switch. The sleep mode handles the power
control.
When the printer goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the
printer engine has cooled down.
Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your
room and how long the printer has been in sleep mode affects the
warm-up time. This warm-up time can take from 5 seconds to 60
seconds. The READY lamp blinks to indicate that the printer is
warming up.
You can change the time out for the sleep mode with the supplied
printer driver and Remote Printer Console program. See the Software
setup guide for more information about drivers.
