Features of the printer driver  
This controller is an image controller designed to use the machine as a printer,  
allowing you to print documents directly to the machine from a computer to which  
the controller is connected. The printer driver, which is used during printing, is  
equipped with various functions that make the most out of the features of the  
machine and enable you to use the same functions as those offered by the machine.  
When actually running a print cycle, you can specify various functions of the  
machine on your computer screen.  
NOTES  
• Some functions offered by the machine cannot be combined, such as Cover  
Page and OHP Interleaving, and some others may not be possible because of  
the paper size involved. The functions that cannot be selected appear dimmed.  
Furthermore, if functions that are incompatible with each other are specified,  
the Conflicts dialog box will appear, prompting you to change the settings.  
When this dialog box appears, check the details and reselect the functions to  
ensure function compatibility.  
• Some settings that are refused by the machine because of restricted  
combinations of different functions can at times be accepted by the printer  
driver. If a print command is issued from the personal computer with such  
settings made, the machine will not produce the output correctly: Be sure to  
make correct settings.  
Various printing functions

Making general settings before using the printer  
The printer driver requires setting items that are common to all print jobs, including  
the port to which the printer is connected and any optional devices configured with  
the machine. These settings must be made using tabs available in a Properties dialog  
box after the printer driver has been installed or whenever the operating  
environment changes.  
The most common settings were made when the printer driver was installed, so you  
do not usually need to change them. Some items must, however, be changed in the  
following cases.  
Cases where changes are necessary  
Applicable tabs  
General  
You want to add a comment to distinguish the printer  
from others.  
The connection port has been changed on the  
computer.

3. E.C.M. (E.K.C.)  
Account Code  
This function can only be accessed by the “key operator” after an 8-digit E.C.M.  
master key code is entered. The E.C.M. allows you to monitor all copying activity  
by controlling E.C.M. password accounts.  
This feature can track copier usage for individual users and/or accounts as well as  
limit access to the copier to authorized users. Copy quantity limits for specific  
accounts can also be set. Use the E.C.M. Key Operator Form provided at the end of  
this section to record E.C.M. password information.  
The E.C.M. stores up to 1,000 E.C.M. passwords, each of which represents a  
separate account that can be used for billing and recordkeeping. The number of  
users assigned to each account may depend upon the billing system in operation and  
the number of individuals and departments using the copier. When the E.C.M. is  
activated, copying can be performed only after a valid E.C.M. password is entered.  
Copy quantity and copy limit for each account can be visually confirmed on the  
screen.  
If E.C.M. needs to be activated on your machine, contact your service  
representative.  
The following E.C.M. settings can be made:  
[1] E.C.M. data edit:  
Change, add, or delete E.C.M. data and reset the copy count of the individual  
account.  
[2] E.C.M. all count reset:  
Clear the copy count for all accounts.  
[3] E.C.M. function setting:  
Activate the desired E.C.M. functions and set the machine condition when the copy  
limit is reached to stop either immediately or after a job is completed or to only  
display a warning message.
