Optional Accessories
For information about features that require Extension System Memory (optional), refer to "A.5
Installing Extension System Memory" (P. 393).
• An installation of Gigabit Ethernet Board Kit helps the network’s communication speed faster,
however, it does not improve the total printing time.
• HDD Extension Kit (optional) is required for direct printing with CentreWare Internet Services. No
HDD Extension Kit (optional) required when using ContentsBridge.
Meter Counts for 2-Sided Print Pages
Depending on the application being used and the print quantity setting, the application may
insert a blank page into two-sided print jobs in order to adjust page position. In such cases, the
blank page is counted as 1 page.
Meter Count for Watermark
When the Feature Enhance Kit (optional) is installed and a document is printed using the
Watermark feature, the meters count with the following method:
When the target page is shown in color, the page is counted towards the Total Color regardless
of color settings for watermark.
When the target page is shown in Black & White:
If you specified the watermark in color, the page is counted towards the Total Color.
If you specified the watermark in B&W, the page is couted towards the Total Black.
PostScript Driver
Some options such as [Poster] are not supported by the PostScript driver. With the [Pages Per
Sheet(N-Up)], you can specify 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages up, and with or without frame borders.
XPS Driver
An XPS (XML Paper Specification) driver is a print driver for printing with an application or
software developed for Microsoft Windows
®
operating systems such as Windows Vista or later
versions.
Due to compatibility problems with Microsoft Windows Vista, normal printing may not be
possible with applications and software developed for Windows versions prior to Windows Vista.
Before using the XPS driver, be sure to check whether the XPS print feature of the printer you are
using is enabled. Unexpected paper output may occur when an XPS driver is used on a printer
that does not have an XPS feature.
Selecting [Auto Detect] for [Output Color]
When [Color (auto-detect)] is selected in the [Color mode] with the print driver and the printing
data has some color pages, the printer switches to the color mode automatically. The drums or
toners of Yellow, Magenta, or Cyan may be consumed after the first detected color page. (B&W
pages are counted as B&W in the meter.)
To avoid printing B&W pages in color, change [Color (auto-detect)] to [Mode switch per page] on
the Control Panel. However, in this case, printing performance may decline because of occurring
of mode change during printing. Also, life of drum cartridge may be shorter as the number of
rotations in vain increases because of frequent mode changes.
