Adding a profile procedure

2 .	Go to the Job tab.

3 .	Click the 'Add' button.

5 .	Enter the name of the profile in the Add profile window.

6 .	Click 'Ok'. The profile is added to the list of profiles.


Copies
Number of copies

The Copies setting defines how many copies will be printed.

By defining the number of copies in the Main tab window, instead of in the Print box from the application, the Network Copier can make maximum use of its capability to store processed images internally. That is, if you set 10 copies, the file will only be sent via the network once, then printed ten times.

Enter the number of copies by typing a number or using the up/down arrows.

The default value is one, the maximum number of copies is 9999.

Note: If you do not want to collate the copies you have to uncheck the collated copies option in the dialog window of the application. Fill in the desired number of copies and make sure that the number of copies in the 31x5 properties dialog is set to 1.


To mailbox

From your workstation you can specify in the print command window whether a document must be printed automatically or stored in the Mailbox so it can be printed later. This is only possible when the optional Mailbox is available on the Network Copier.

When jobs are printed to the Mailbox, jobs are stored in the memory of the Network Copier until they are deleted by their owner (or by the key operator).

To print a job from the Mailbox, you have to walk up to the Network Copier and select the file for printing.

The default setting of 'To mailbox' is not selected. The print job will be added to the print queue for automatic printing.


Security

When selected, this option will protect the job with a security number.

You will be asked to enter a PIN code of 1 to 6 digits.

The PIN code must contain at least one number.

For maximum security, this PIN code must then be entered on the operating panel of the copier before the document will be printed.

For this reason, confidential documents are automatically moved to the Mailbox.

Note: If the optional Mailbox is not available, the security function cannot be used.


Single sided or double sided
Single sided or double sided printing

In the 1- or 2-sided entry box you can specify whether the job should be printed on one side or both sides of the paper. You can select one of the following options:

As in document	Select this option when you decide in the application if you want the document to be printed 1- or 2-sided (Provided that this application itself supports duplex printing. For applications that do not support 2-sided printing the job will be printed 1-sided).
1-sided	Select this option when you want your document printed single sided only (settings in the application will be overruled).
2-sided	Select this option when you want your document printed on both sides of the paper (settings in the application will be overruled).


Staple

In the Staple entry box you can specify whether the job has to be stapled or not. You can select one of the following options:

As in document	The pages will not be stapled, unless you have selected stapling in your user application.
No staple	Select this option when you do not want your document stapled (settings in the application will be overruled).
Staple	Select this option when you want your document stapled (settings in the application will be overruled). Note: If the number of pages exceeds the capacity of the stapler, the document will not be stapled.  (Stapler capacity is 35 or 50 sheets, depending on the configuration).


Covers

This option is used to specify if the finished document should have front and/or back covers.

The paper tray used for the cover sheets is determined by the copier configuration. The paper tray for the rest of the document can be specified in the Paper source setting.


About button

When you click the About button, a dialog box appears displaying copyright and version information of the Printer Driver.


Default button

By pressing the Default button on any of the tabs, all values on the currently displayed tab will return to the default settings (also called factory settings) defined by Océ.


Page tab

The Page tab contains settings which influence the layout of the printed document. Some settings such as Paper size can be changed in the setup only, others can also be changed when actually printing the document.

The following topics are covered:

  Paper size

  Scale

  Image

  Watermark

  Margin shift

  Binding edge

  Default button


Paper size

In the Paper size box you can select the paper size to be used by your application. Many applications look for the default page size in the driver and use this page size for new documents.


Scale

You can select the scaling factor of your prints. Minimum 1%, normal 100% and maximum 1000%.


Image

You can choose if you want a mirrored or a negative output.

Mirrored

This setting can be useful to print transparents from the backside, so they are less susceptible to scratches when used as a cover for a report.

Negative

This setting can be useful to print on offset plates. Offset plates print in negative (when used in an offset press).


Watermark

A watermark is used to print a text over the output of all pages. It can be used to mark the status of a document (e.g. concept, final, confidential).

Range: -24 mm to +24 mm, Step size: 1 mm

or

Range: -1.00 inch to +1.00 inch, Step size: 1/24 inch.

Binding edge

The position of the binding edge determines how the pages are printed on the paper. You can select one of the following options:
Long side	The job will be printed so that the pages will turn over the long side of the paper.  - A portrait printed job can be leafed through like a book. - A landscape printed job can be leafed through like a calendar.

Image/Quality tab

The Quality tab allows you to adjust the halftone setting.

With this halftone slider you can define the halftone screen to be used for photographs and other shades of gray in your document. By adjusting the slider, graphic images are shown with a coarser halftone screen (larger dots) or a finer one (small dots). These small or large dots are represented in the normal 600 dpi.

Fine is highest dithering quality, however this may cause stripes in gray areas.

Coarse is used to remove irregularities in the image.
