2. Using the Document Server
Accessing the Document Server

The Document Server enables you to store documents on the machine's hard
disk, allowing you to edit and print as and when you want.
Limitation
❒ Applications with their own drivers, such as PageMaker, do not support this
function.
Reference
For more information about Document Server functions, see General Settings
Guide.
For information about how to access Document Server from a client, see the
printer driver Help.
Note
❒ When you use the Document Server, the following functions can be selected
using the machine's control panel:
• Copies
• Collate
• Duplex
• Staple
• Paper selection: Paper source tray, paper type, paper output tray.
• Functions related to paper selection: Cover sheets, slip sheets, chaptering.
❒ The above items are dimmed, so you cannot set them from the printer prop-
erties dialog box when the Document Server is selected.
❒ You must enter a user ID, using up to eight alphanumeric characters.
❒ You should enter a Password and File Name to distinguish the job from others.
❒ Up to 3,000 files can be stored in the Document Server. No new files can be
stored after 3,000 is reached. Even if less than 3,000 files are stored, new files
cannot be stored when
• a file to be stored contains more than 1,000 pages,
• the total number of pages contained in files stored exceeds 9,000,
• the hard disk is full.
❒ The Document Server also stores files scanned using the Automatic Docu-
ment Feeder (ADF) or exposure glass. You should delete unnecessary stored
files once in a while so as not to exceed the capacity of the hard disk. For how
to delete stored files, see General Settings Guide.
❒ When using the hard disk for functions other than those of Document Server,
you may be unable to store new files in the Document Server, even if there are
less than 3,000 files stored.

Finisher
You can collate or staple printed paper by installing the optional finisher. Make
sure you read the following precautions when using the optional finisher:
Reference
For information about optional finishers, see General Settings Guide.
To use the staple function, see p.52 “Staple”.
❖ Be sure to make settings for options installed on the machine in the printer drivers.
Reference
To make settings for options in the printer drivers, see Printer Reference 1.
❖ Be sure to set the paper size and paper orientation in the printer driver when using
duplex printing, combine (layout), and staple functions.
Reference
For Information about duplex printing and layout, see the printer driver
Help.
To use the staple function, see p.52 “Staple” and the printer driver Help.
Note
❒ Depending on the application, print settings may not be enabled and printed
output may not be as expected.
❖ When setting staple or collate in the printer driver, make sure that the Collate check
box is cleared in the application's [Print] dialog box.
If Collate is enabled in the application, printing will not be as intended.
51
Appendix
Staple
With the optional finisher installed, sets can be stapled individually when print-
ing multiple sets.
Staple Position
The specified staple position varies depending on paper size, type, quantity and
feed orientation. The following table shows staple positions:

Reference
• For paper sizes and maximum numbers of sheets available for stapling, see
“Specifications”, General Settings Guide.
• For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.
• The staple position will vary when using the PostScript 3 printer driver.
For more information, see the PostScript 3 printer driver Help.
Stapling Precautions
Limitation
❒ Stapling can be done only with the optional finisher installed.
❒ Stapling cannot be done when paper is fed from the bypass tray.
❒ You cannot interrupt the current job with a job for another function requiring
stapling or collating.
Note
❒ When the finisher is installed, and when an output tray that cannot output us-
ing the staple function has been selected, the paper will be output according
to System Settings. 6
❒ If you cannot make staple settings even with the finisher installed, options
may not be set correctly in the printer driver. Correct option settings in the
printer driver. For details, see the printer driver Help.
❒ When duplex printing is selected, adjust staple positions to the binding orien-
tation.
❒ When the finisher is being used for another function's job (for example, a copy
job), printing will start after that job ends.
❒ When setting Staple in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate op-
tion is not selected in the print settings of the application. If a collate option is
selected in the application, printing will not be as intended.
❒ Be sure to set paper size and orientation in the printer driver when stapling.
• Depending on the software you are using, print settings may not be saved
and the printed result may not be as expected.
❒ When printing restarts after removing jammed paper, the printing position
may be different, depending on the location of the jam.
• If the paper jam occurred in the optional finisher, printing will restart from
the top page of the data currently being printed, or from the page where
the paper jam occurred.
• If the paper jam occurred in the machine, printing will restart from the
page where the paper jam occurred.
❒ Even if the paper jam occurred in the machine, the error will not be cleared
unless the cover of the finisher is opened and closed.
53
Appendix
❒ Staple printing will be canceled under the following conditions:

• If the number of staple jobs exceeds maximum. For information about the
maximum number, see “Specifications”, General Settings Guide.
• If a paper size that cannot be stapled is selected. For information about pa-
per sizes that can be stapled, see “Specifications”, General Settings Guide.
• If a paper type that cannot be stapled is selected.
The paper types that can be stapled are plain and recycled. Labels, thick
paper and OHP transparencies cannot be stapled.
• If positions other than those fixed for stapling are specified.
• If there are inconsistencies between the orientation in duplex mode and the
staple position.
• If paper sizes are mixed when a different paper size is specified during a
print job.
• When staples have run out.
• When feeding paper from the bypass tray.
• When staples have run out and Auto Continue is set, printing will continue
without stapling after the message has been displayed.
❒ Paper sizes that can be stapled when using the Mixed Size mode are as fol-
6 lows:
• A3 L and A4 K
• B4 L and B5 K
• 11" × 17"L and 8 1 /2" × 11"K

❒ If forced printing occurs on the first set, Collate will be canceled.
❒ If a document with mixed paper sizes or sizes larger than A4, 81/2 “× 11” is
set, it can only be collated, even if Rotating Collate has been selected.
❒ When Cover/Slip Sheet or Chaptering has been selected, Collate or Shift Col-
late will occur even if Rotating Collate has been selected.
❒ When Rotating Collate has been selected, printing speed will be slower than
with other collate functions.
❒ When setting Collate in the printer driver settings, make sure that a collate
option is not selected in the application's print settings. If a collate option is
selected, printing will not be as intended.

Spool Printing
Spool Printing
Spool Printing allows print jobs transferred from a computer to be temporarily
stored, and then prints them after they are transferred. This shortens printing
time as it maximizes printer efficiency.
Important
❒ During Spool Printing, the hard disk is accessed and the Data-In indicator
blinks. Turning off the computer or machine during Spool Printing can dam-
age the hard disk. Also, if the computer or machine is turned off during Spool
Printing, spooled jobs will be deleted. Therefore, do not turn the power to the
computer or machine off during Spool Printing.
Limitation
❒ If data is sent to the machine using other protocols besides LPR, IPP or SMB,
Spool Printing cannot be performed.
❒ Up to a maximum of 150 jobs at once can be spool printed.
Note
❒ Printing the first page with Spool Printing will be slow.
❒ The computer requires less print processing time when large amounts of data 6
are spooled.
❒ Stored spool jobs can be viewed or deleted using a Web browser.
