VIEW
This view shows the connection panel, the rear output stacker
and the location of the optional duplex (two-sided printing) unit.
* The Network Interface has a protective “plug” which must be
removed before connection can be made.
When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the
printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked here face
up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used in
conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray, the paper path
through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending
the paper around curves in the paper path and enables feeding
of up to 203g/m² media.

ASSETTE
TRAYS
If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray
if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can have the printer
automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs
out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this
function is enabled in the driver settings. (See “Printer Settings in
Windows” later in this guide.) When printing from other systems,
this function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See “Menu Functions”
later in this guide.)
M
ULTI
PURPOSE
TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette
trays but in weights up to 203g/m². For very heavy paper stock
use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper
path through the printer is almost straight.
The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm
and lengths up to 1200mm (banner printing).
For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper
stock between 90g/m² and 128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper
stacker.
Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and
transparencies. Up to 50 sheets of transparencies or 10
envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum
stacking depth of 10mm.
Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top
edge into the printer. Do not use the duplex (two-sided printing)
function.

DOWN
STACKER
The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to
250 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper
stocks up to 176g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1
first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing
down).
F
ACE
UP
STACKER
The face up stacker at the rear of the printer should be opened
and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this
condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver
settings.
The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m²
standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 203g/m².
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper
stocks heavier than 176g/m².
D
UPLEX
UNIT
This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same
range of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6),
using paper stocks from 75-105g/m².
NOTE:
The duplex unit comes as standard with dn models.

Loading paper> 17
3. Load letter headed paper face down and top edge towards
the front of the printer, as shown.
4. Adjust the rear stopper (1) and paper guides (2) to the
size of paper being used.
To prevent paper jams:
Do not leave space between the paper and the guides
and rear stopper.
Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the
type of paper stock.
Do not load damaged paper.
Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the
same time.
Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except
as described below for the 2nd tray).
Close the paper tray gently.
5. If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st
(upper) tray, you can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during
printing to reload it. However, if printing from the 2nd
(lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will
cause a paper jam.
21
Loading paper> 18
6. For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear)
stacker (3) is closed (the paper exits from the top of the
printer). Stacking capacity is approximately 250 sheets,
depending on paper weight.
7. For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear)
stacker (3) is open and the paper support (4) is extended.
Paper is stacked in reverse order and tray capacity is
approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.
8. Always use the face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper
(card stock etc.).
CAUTION!
Do not open or close the rear paper exit while printing as
it may result in a paper jam.

Loading paper> 20
For two-sided (duplex) printing on headed paper load
the paper with pre-printed side down and top edge
away from the printer. (Optional duplex unit must be
installed for this function.)
Envelopes should be loaded face up with top edge to
the left and short edge into the printer. Do not select
duplex printing on envelopes.
Do not exceed the paper capacity of about 50 sheets or
10 envelopes. Maximum stacking depth is 10mm.
5. Press the tray latch button (5) inwards to release the
paper platform, so that the paper is lifted and gripped in
place.
Set the correct paper size for the multi purpose tray in the Media
Menu (see “Menu Functions”).

INDOWS
Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many
options. The Windows printer driver also contains settings for
many of these items. Where items in the printer driver are the
same as those in the operator panel menus, and you print
documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer
driver will override those items in the operator panel menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Windows 2000
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the
same.

Three printer drivers are supplied with your printer: one for PCL5c
emulation, one for PCL6 emulation, and the other for PostScript 3
emulation. If you print mainly from general “Office” applications
choose one of the PCL drivers. For faster printing of PDF
documents, choose PostScript. If you print mainly from
professional DTP and graphics applications, choose PostScript.

APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your
document from a Windows
application program a print
dialogue box appears. This
dialogue usually specifies the
name of the printer on which you
will print your document. Next to
the printer name is a Properties
button.
When you click Properties a new
window opens which contains a short list of the printer settings
available in the driver, which you can choose for this document.
The window which opens when you click Properties depends on
which printer driver has been installed. The PostScript driver
offers different choices to the PCL driver.

EMULATION
1. Page orientation sets
portrait (tall) or
landscape (wide) page
orientation. The
“rotated” rotates the
paper through 90
degrees anti-clockwise.
2. When printing double
sided pages (duplex
unit required). You can
flip the paper either on
its long edge or short edge.
3. Pages can be printed in forward or reverse order. If using
the face down (top) paper stacker, forward order is
usually appropriate to ensure that pages are stacked in
numerical order. If using the face up (rear) paper stacker,
reverse order would normally stack your pages in
numerical order.
4. You can specify how many pages to print on a sheet.
Pages will be scaled to fit the number you choose. If you
choose booklet printing (requires duplex unit) two pages
will automatically be set, and pages will be printed with
the correct pages opposite one another so that folding the
stacked printout produces a booklet.
5. Advanced options are also available, such as how to
download TrueType fonts, and whether advanced options
such as booklet printing are available.
The printer driver contains extensive on-line help for these items
to help you make the most appropriate choices.

EMULATION
When you click the Properties button from your application’s
Print dialogue, the driver window opens to allow you to specify
your printing preferences for this document.
1.
Paper size should be the
same as the page size of
your document (unless you
wish to scale the printout
to fit another size), and
should also be the same as
the size of paper you will
feed into the printer.
2.
You can choose the source
of the paper to feed, which
may be Tray 1 (the
standard paper tray), Tray 2 (if you have the optional 2nd
paper tray installed) or the multi purpose feeder. You can
also click on the appropriate part of the screen graphic to
select your preferred tray.
3. A variety of document finishing options can be selected,
such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can
be any number up to 16) for printing scaled down pages
at more than one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints
two pages per sheet on each side of the paper so that
when folded they make up a booklet. Booklet printing
requires the duplex unit to be installed in your printer.
Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over
multiple sheets.
4. For two-sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by
the long edge or the short edge. Of course, this requires
that a duplex unit be installed in your printer.
5. If you have changed some printing preferences before and
saved them as a set, you can recall them to avoid having
to set them individually each time you need them.
6. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

to distinguish between each of your print jobs.
7. If you would like a prompt at the printer for the job name,
click the [Request…] checkbox below the name entry.
8. Enter a number from 0000 to 9999 in the [PIN] box.

If you change your mind about printing a secure document, you
can delete it from the printer’s hard disk without printing it first.
1. Follow steps 1 to 4 in the above procedure for printing the
document.
2. Use the +/- buttons to highlight the DELETE option and

3. If necessary, use the +/- buttons to highlight the YES
choice, and press [ENTER] to confirm the deletion.
Your document is deleted from the printer’s hard disk

TORE
TO
HARD
DISK
This feature allows print jobs to be created on the PC and stored
on the printer’s hard disk for printing on demand. This is good for
forms, generic memos, letterhead, stationery, etc.
If you use this feature for standard forms, for example, you can
walk up to the printer at any time and print off your forms without
having to re-send them from the PC.
This feature works in exactly the same way as the secure printing
feature described earlier in this Chapter, and is available only in
the Windows PostScript and PCL drivers. The difference with job
spooling is that the document is not automatically deleted from
the printer’s hard disk after printing. It remains there for future
use until you delete it from the Printer Control Panel or from your
PC with the Storage Device Manager utility.
Like the secure printing feature, there are three parts in job spooling:
1. Sending the document
2. Printing the document
3. Deleting a stored document
NOTE:
If this choice does not appear in the driver screens, or if it is
greyed out, check to ensure that the hard disk is enabled in
the printer driver. (See“Setting the driver device options” on
page 32)

THE

SCREENS
Most of the features described are accessed via the printer driver
screens. How you access them depends on your computer and its
operating system.
W
INDOWS
DRIVERS
The driver windows are tabbed dialogue boxes, offering a wide
range choices about how you want to print your documents.
There are two ways to access the driver features from within
Windows:
1. Directly from the Windows “Printers” folder (“Printers and
Faxes” folder in Windows XP).
If you choose this method any changes you make will
become the driver defaults. This means they will remain
active for all your applications unless you specifically
change them from within the application’s Print dialogue.
2. From your application’s Print dialogue.
If you choose this method any changes you make will
usually only last for as long as the particular application is
running, or until you change them again. In most cases,
once you quit the application the driver defaults will return.
NOTE:
Settings made from the printer’s own control panel are the
printer defaults. They determine how your printer will
behave unless you specify otherwise from your computer.
The driver defaults override the printer defaults.
Application Print settings override both the printer
defaults and the driver defaults.

NTRODUCTION
Your printer has two separate colour management systems –
Office Colour and Graphic Pro.
>Office Colour (3a) –“Office colour” on page 51
>This is a simpler colour management system designed for
ease of use. Office Colour is recommended for users who
are not experts in colour but want good results when
printing from programs such as Microsoft Office.
>Graphic Pro (3b)“Graphic pro” on page 56
This is a powerful colour management system based on
ICC colour profiles.
Profiles can be down loaded to the printer hard disk using
a special utility, and then colour matching can be applied
to all incoming print jobs.
The Graphic Pro colour management system is
recommended for users who are already familiar with ICC
profile-based colour matching and require more control
over colour.

COLOUR
Some application programs give you the choice to create and edit
documents using either RGB colour or CMYK colour. Typically,
only professional graphics and desktop publishing software
support CMYK colour. Most application programs only support
RGB colour, for example Microsoft Office programs or web
browsers.
If your application program does not give you the choice of RGB
or CMYK colour, you should assume that it only supports RGB.
The RGB colour model is based on the three primary colours of
light; Red, Green and Blue. This model is used by scanners,
digital cameras and computer monitors.
The CMYK colour model is based on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and
Black printer inks or toners.

graphics and text.
Monitor (6500K)
Perceptual
Optimized for printing photographs. Colours are
printed with emphasis on saturation.
Monitor (6500K)
Vivid
Optimized for printing photographs and for office

the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.
Monitor (9300K) Colours are printed with emphasis on Lightness.
Use this setting if you are having problems achieving
the correct colour when printing from Microsoft Office
applications.
Digital Camera Optimized for printing photos taken with a digital
camera. Your results will vary depending on the
subject and the conditions under which the
photograph was taken.
sRGB The printer will try to reproduce the sRGB colour
space. This may be useful if colour matching from an

These profiles describe the device that was used to capture
RGB data (e.g. scanner or digital camera).
The RGB Input Profile may also be your monitor profile if
you are trying to match to your screen.
CMYK
Simulation
(CMYK input)
These profiles describe the CMYK device whose colours you
are trying to simulate. Typically this would be another
manufacturer's printer or an offset printing press.
Profiles are already built-in to the printer for commercial
printing press inks such as SWOP or Euroscale.
Printer
(CMYK Output)
This profile describes the colour characteristics of your own
printer.
The printer already has factory default profiles built-in, but
you can replace these profiles with your own if required.
Link Profile This is a special type of ICC profile that converts directly
from CMYK to CMYK.
For example, a link profile could convert directly from the
CMYK space of another printer to the CMYK space of your
printer.

NOTE:
Be aware that if the device you are trying to simulate has
different colour capabilities from your own printer, exact
colour simulation will not be possible. For example, it may be
difficult to reproduce the exact colours of an ink jet printer on
a toner-based printer.
Additionally, differences in the range of printable colours
between different devices can make simulation using RGB
source data inaccurate. To achieve best results when
simulating the colour output of other printers, you are
strongly advised to use CMYK data as a source. See “CMYK ink
simulations - CMYK source data” on page 76.

When selecting the Printer Output Profile, if you select any other

The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine
how colours that fall outside of the printable colours are treated.
Select the rendering intent that best suits the document you are
printing.
P
ERCEPTUAL
This option is recommended for printing photographs.
Typically, perceptual rendering desaturates all the colours when
printing. This brings unprintable colours into the printer’s range,
whilst keeping the relationships between the colours the same.
S
ATURATION
This option is recommended for printing business graphics if you
want vivid colours. This will not necessarily produce accurate
colour, as the emphasis is on maintaining saturation.

GRAPHICS
When your document is printed, often the pure black colours will
not be printed using 100% black toner. Instead, these pure black
colours are sometimes converted and printed using a mixture of
CMYK toner.
Using the Pure Black Text / Graphics feature ensures that 100%
black text or graphics in your document is printed using pure
black toner.
This means that the following colours in your documents will be
printed using only 100% black toner:
RGB Red = 0, Green = 0, Blue = 0
CMYK Cyan = 0%, Yellow = 0%, Magenta = 0%,
Black = 100%

or faster but less accurate colour matching.

Application collate—Some application programs have a collate
feature in their print options. In this case the application
performs the document collation and may send the job multiple
times to the printer. Generally, this method is slower but can be
more reliable.
Printer collate—This section describes the collate function built
into the printer driver. In this case the job is stored temporarily
in printer memory or on the printer’s hard disk (if installed), and
the printer performs collation. This method is normally faster, but

Some applications software may not produce the desired results
with non-standard print media sizes, and some experimentation
may be required to obtain the results you want.

MONO-PRINT
SPEED
AUTO SPEED
MONO 32PPM
COLOR SPEED
MIXED SPEED
If the first page of a print job is black
and white, the printer runs at 32ppm
(pages per minute). When a colour
page is detected the printer slows
down to 20ppm (C5700) or 26ppm
(C5900) for the rest of that job.
This setting operates in the same
way as AUTO SPEED, except that the
printer runs at 32ppm until a colour
page is detected. To achieve this
speed the printer requires an
additional 10 – 20 seconds to warm
up and 30 –60 seconds to cool down
when switching to 20ppm (C5700) or
26ppm (C5900) for colour pages.
This setting is therefore most
appropriate when the majority of
print jobs are entirely black and
white.
The printer runs at 20 ppm (C5700),
26ppm (C5900) for all print jobs.
This setting is most appropriate
when the majority of print jobs are
in colour.
The printer automatically switches
between 20 ppm (C5700), 26ppm
(C5900) for each colour page and
20ppm for each black and white
page. When black and white pages
are printed, the 3 colour drums are
automatically lifted to maximize
their working life. This operation
imposes delay each time the printer
switches between colour and black
and white printing. However, the 30
–60 second cool down delay
described for MONO 32ppm is
avoided by limiting mono speed to
20ppm. This setting may be
preferred for mostly black and white
printing with some colour pages, or
where most print jobs are entirely
colour or entirely black and white.
