1.2 Special Features of thePrinter

This printer kit can be used as a network-compatible printer that can be connected directly to thenetwork.

It can be installed with multi-emulation.

The special features of the printer are as follows:

• It is installed with PCL 6 emulation. PostScript emulation is an optional feature.• Printing can be specified without having to take into consideration the printer language as there is an

automatic printer language detection feature (applicable only when more than one emulation isinstalled).

• High quality printing can be achieved with its 400/600 dpi laser-style resolution.Also, it comes with an image-enhancement feature which can increase resolution and produce smoothprinting without any notches (equivalent to 2400 dpi).

• Besides the standard parallel and serial interfaces, it can be used in network (multi-protocol)environment through the installation of interface card.

• All the interfaces installed can receive data at the same time.• Double-sided printing can be done by installing a duplex unit.• Multiple-copies sorting can be achieved through the electronic sorting feature (when installing the hard

disk). Also, there is no need to rearrange pages as pages can be output with the printed side facing upwithout interrupting the page order.

• Direct fax mailing from the network host installation can be done by using the printer with the faxfeature. Also, data read from the main frame can be imported from the network host installation.

• DPI is the abbreviation of Dot Per Inch and is the unit that indicates the number of dots thatcan be printed within a one-inch area. It is used as a unit indicating resolution.

• Protocol is the essential communcation regulation for carrying out data transmission.

2.2 Using the Ethernet Interface

If you want to use the Ethernet interface, you need to install the optional interface card (100Base-TX,10Base-T or 10Base-5) first. This section explains the procedure for installing the Ethernet interface cardand for connecting by the Ethernet interface.

2.2.1 Installing the Ethernet interface card

Check that the display window indicates "Ready". Turn the power off and then unplug thepower cord.

CAUTION Make sure the power is switched off and the machine unplugged before you begin theinstallation. Otherwise, there is a danger of electric shock.

The printing data left inside the printer or the printer memory will be erased whenthe power is off.

Remove the two screws from the slot for theexpansion interface card and then take awaythe shield cover.

Keep the removed screws and shieldcover.

Insert the interface card into either the leftor right slot and fix it with the two screws.

Make sure the card is inserted right inso that it touches the connector at theend of the slot.

2.2 Using the Ethernet Interface

2.2.2 Connecting the Ethernet interface

Connecting by the Ethernet interface will enable the following environments to be used:• 100Base-TX

• 10Base-T

• 10Base-5

100Base-TX and 10Base-T are set to switch automatically. When using 10Base-5environment, be sure to set the Ethernet values from the printer control panel afterconnecting the cable.

The procedure for connection by Ethernet interface is as follows:

Connect the interface cable to the Ethernetinterface connector.

Do not connect the interface cable tothe two Ethernet interface connectorstogether as this will cause poortransmission or breakdown.

For the interface cable, use the cablesuited to the network.

Switch on the power of the printer.

When connecting connector for 10Base-5, follow the procedure on the next page and setthe value of Ethernet setting to 10Base-5. When connecting TX/T connector, also refer tothe procedure on next page and change the setting if you would like to fix the transmissionspeed for 100Base-TX or 10Base-T.After setting Ethernet, change the setting from the printer or host device, depending on theenvironment setting that you are in.

2.3 Increase/Allocation ofMemory

This sections explains how to allocate memory when increasing it.

2.3.1 Uses

Memory is meant for the following uses:• System

• Receive buffer

• Page buffer

• PCL 6 memory

• PS memory

2.3.2 Suggested values

System

Area used by the printer system, with the capacity remaining unchangeable.

Receive buffer

A receive buffer is prepared for each port to receive data from multiple ports. There arevarious types of receive buffer:• Parallel memory

• Serial memory

• lpd spool

• NetWare memory

• AppleTalk memory

Parallel memory

This is a receive buffer for parallel interface use. In general, the default values aresufficient but if necessary, increase the capacity. When the capacity is increased, theprocessing might become faster. When the parallel interface is not in use, inactivate it andallocate the memory for other purposes.

Serial memory

This is a receive buffer for serial interface use. In general, the default values are sufficientbut if necessary, increase the capacity. When the capacity is increased, the processingmight become faster. When the serial interface is not in use, inactivate it and allocate thememory for other purposes.

24

2.3 Increase/Allocation of Memory

lpd spool

Area for lpd, FX PrintDirect and Direct Print Utility spool use. When the hard disk isconnected, it is possible to select the spool point from the memory and hard disk, as well asto stop spooling. Even when the spooling is stopped, the receive buffer is needed.When you want to ensure that the area for spooling use is more than 32 MB, it isrecommended that the hard disk be connected.

NetWare memory

Receive buffer for NetWare use. In general, the default values are sufficient but ifnecessary, increase the capacity.

AppleTalk memory

Receive buffer for AppleTalk use. It is recommended that you maintain many areas of thismemory if possible.

Page buffer

Area for drawing the actual print image. It is possible to allocate this area from theremaining area after all the other uses have been allocated. To confirm the page buffercapacity, print the printer settings list and then check the actual page buffer. If the pagebuffer is too small, it will affect the performance and duplex printing may be rejected.If you are using the PostScript language, refer to “E.2 Precautions and Limitations”.

PCL 6 memory

Area for the use of PCL 6. This memory is to store the interim data for creating the printimage. By increasing the memory capacity, the printing speed may be increased.

PS memory

Area for use by the PostScript software. By increasing the memory capacity, printingspeed may be increased.

This section gives an overview of the printer drivers.

4.1.1 The PCL 5e/PCL 6 printer drivers

The PCL 5e/PCL 6 printer drivers are installed on the Windows operating systems toprovide a standard interface between an application program and the Xerox DC 400/350/250 printer device. By installing these printer drivers, print jobs can be converted intothe PJL and PCL 5e/PCL 6 printer languages and then print through the printer device.These drivers are also equipped with the direct fax feature which sends fax directly fromyour PC through the printer.These printer drivers are system specific, each will only run on either Windows 3.1/95/98or Windows NT 4.0. There are altogether six printer drivers included:• PCL 5e printer driver for Windows 3.1• PCL 5e printer driver for Windows 95/98• PCL 5e printer driver for Windows NT 4.0• PCL 6 printer driver for Windows 3.1• PCL 6 printer driver for Windows 95/98• PCL 6 printer driver for Windows NT 4.0

4.1.2 Installation/configuration methods

The methods of installing/configuring the PCL 5e and PCL 6 printer drivers as well as theprocedures for printing/faxing using these drivers are basically the same. Regardless of theoperating system (OS) you are in, the basic steps are similar except for the look of someof the graphics. Therefore, only one printer driver will be used to discuss these operationsin this chapter but any differences among the PCL 5e and PCL 6 printer drivers will bepointed out.

4.1.3 Settings on the Xerox DC 400/350/250 printer

Make sure the PJL switch for the interface is turned to ON. If the PJL switch is turned toOFF, the following functions will be disabled:• JOB/EOJ-Job separator• Fax function• Collate• Job offset• Staple function• Resolution• Image enhancement• Economode• PCL XL emulation

Halftoning (for PCL 6 drivers only)

Halftone refers to a type of pattern that is applied to the printed image. By using acombination of black dots, these patterns produce a grey appearance on the printed image.This Halftoning feature is designed to process images (e.g. photographs) but not thecomputer generated art (e.g. clip art). The appearance of the printed image will be differedby the Halftone settings.

Note the different settings available for the different PCL 6 drivers.

For Windows 3.1 and Windows 95/98 PCL 6 drivers:

• Device (default)

Image objects will be rendered by default halftoning attributes.

• Line Art

Provides solid lines and sharp contrasts between shaded areas and it is used forimages with intricate lines.

• Fine

Provides smooth shades of grey.

• Coarse

Provides rough greyscale with high contrasts for images that will be scanned/copied.

• Diffusion

Creates the appearance of grey scales by randomly placing individual dots of ink. Bestfor photographic images but requires more processing time. Available only if Rasteris selected for Graphics Mode.

For the Windows NT 4.0 PCL 6 driver:

• Device (default)

Image objects will be rendered by default halftoning attributes. Available only ifVector is selected for Graphics Mode.

• System

Enables the System Halftoning. Click Halftone Colour Adjustment for systemhalftone colour adjustmnent.

TrueType ModeThe drivers are capable to download the Windows TrueType fonts in three different ways:

• Download as True Type (default)

Prints text by downloading the complete character set of TrueType fonts in an outlineform that the printer can deal with directly. Downloaded fonts are vector-based,scalable typefaces.

• Download as Bit Image

Prints text by downloading each TrueType character as an individual bitmap font.Downloaded fonts are raster-based, non-scalable typefaces.

• Print as Graphics

Prints text as graphic images. The printed output may appear to be a closer match tothe screen image than the other options, though it may print slower. Enabled only ifRaster is selected for Graphics Mode.

Use Printer TrueType fonts

When this is on, the printer prints by using the printer-resident fonts instead of bydownloading fonts to the printer, unless the required fonts are not present in theprinter. This will speed up the printing process and give the printer its bestperformance. Default is on. Disabled if Print as Graphics is selected for True TypeMode.

Halftone Colour Adjustment (for Windows NT 4.0 drivers only)

Click this button to display the "Halftone Color Adjustment" dialog box for setting thecolour adjustment values that are used to adjust the colour of bitmap images for printing.Colour adjustments affect certain attributes of the image, such as contrast and brightness.For the Windows NT 4.0 PCL 6 driver: enabled only if System is selected for Halftoning.

The "Negative" check box in the "Halftone Color Adjustment" dialog box specifieswhether or not the colours of bitmap images are inverted. Inverting coloursproduces a negative image of the bitmap.

Overlays

The "Overlays" tab allows you to create, use and delete page overlays for your printer. APage Overlay is a group of PCL commands and/or data created, downloaded and stored inthe printer by you. Once stored in the printer, a page overlay can be invoked upon requestand eliminates the need to download the same information over again, thus savingtransmission time. For example, if you want to print a company letterhead on every letterthat you are sending, you have to first create a page overlay for this letterhead and store itin the printer. Then, whenever you want to print letters with this letterhead, simply send apage overlay command to the printer to print.

Load OverlayWhen you want to use file from an external source as an overlay, click this button toinform the overlay manager of the file and its location.

If you source an external file from a floppy disk and then remove the disk fromthe disk drive, the file will no longer be available as an overlay. If you intend to usethis file regularly, it is recommended that you copy the file to your system local diskbefore using this button.

Create OverlayCreates and stores a Page Overlay from a file containing the overlay that you want.

You have to first open the file with the overlay that you want, then, select the "Print"command from the "File" menu. When the "Print" dialog appears, select the XeroxDC 400/350/250 printer and click Properties. Then, select the "Overlays" tab in theprinter properties dialog box. Click Create Overlay, and enter a name for theoverlay in the "File name" box. You may select another pathname other than thedefault pathname (C:\pageover). Click OK when you have finished. When aconfirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to confirm the operation. This will storethe overlay in your computer disk. If you click No, this operation will be aborted.

MoveMoves the selected fonts to the specified destination (i.e. printer or port).

CopyCopies the selected fonts to the specified destination (i.e. printer or port).

DeleteIf you are no longer using a font, you can delete it from your Windows applications or/andyour hard disk.

EditIf you have purchased a disk-based font which has the same name as a font you arealready using, you should change the name of either font by clicking this button after youhave selected that font.

• Permanent

Downloading a font permanently ensures a font stays in your printer memory until theprinter is turned off. This is especially useful for a frequently used font. You can generallyprint faster when you install fonts as permanent but it can also limit the amount of printermemory available for printing graphics and complex page.

• Temporary

If you install a font as temporary, the font is loaded into your printer memory only whenyou want to print a document with that font. This works well, for instance, when yourarely use a font, when you need your printer memory for printing graphics, when you areusing a variety of fonts in one document, or when you are printing to a shared printer.

6.1 Precautions and Limitations

This section explains the precautions and limitations of using this printer.

When switching on power

When Printing is displayed immediately after switching on the printer even no data havebeen sent, press Stop.

When cancelling printing

When the printing is not allowed to end normally such as by cancelling printing, thecommand information sent from the host will not be reflected in the control panel.

When installing hard disk

• When installing the hard disk, the "lpd/PD" item of Common Menu > Maintenance Mode >Memory Change > ReceiveBufferMem will not be displayed. Also, the printer will not save anymemory at this time.

• When the hard disk is initialized, all the data registered in it will be erased.

• Depending on the option of the additional RAM module, the number of files registered in thehard disk that can be called up at one time is restricted by the additional memory capacity.

• When the hard disk and the additional RAM module are installed with a large number of filesregistered in the hard disk, the printer might not be able to start up if the additional RAMmodule is removed.

In this situation, either switch off the power and remove the hard disk or install the additionalRAM module.

When the printing result is different from the setting

Due to insufficient memory capacity, the following printing results which differ fromthe setting might happen. In these cases, it is recommended that memory allocation bechanged or memory be increased.• Set at 600 dpi but printed at 400 dpi.

• Set at two-sided printing but printed on one side only.

• Job is stopped. (When a page processing cannot be carried on in the page buffer, the jobincluding that page will be stopped.)

• The message “Job Halted. (Insufficient XXXXX Memory)” or “Insufficient XXXXX Memory.The process is aborted.” is printed in the “Printing Status” column of the Print History Listing.

• The message “PCL XL error” is printed on paper. (This message is also printed when an illegalcommand is executed.)

6.1 Precautions and Limitations

When using the fax driver

• When the settings of this machine and the printer driver are different, the setting of the printerdriver takes priority.

• The short dial registered in this machine cannot be specified from the host device.

• From the host device, you can fax up to a maximum of 50 recipients. To fax up to a maximumof 100 recipients from this machine, the total fax transmissions, consisting of the advance faxinstructions made by dialing from the touch panel display plus the fax instructions from thehost device, are limited to 100 recipients. In this case, multiple transmissions (of differentdocuments) to an identical recipient is treated as one recipient but different transmission modes(e.g. G3 Auto, International transmission, G4 Auto) using a similar telephone number will betreated as different recipients.

• The memory overflow may be shown as K0-05 in the “Status” column of the Activity Report and“Fax Module Error (20-K005)” in the “Printing Status” column of the Print History Listing. In thiscase, install the optional hard disk kit for the fax function.

C.1 Types and Paper Sizes

This section explains the types of Print Utility and the necessary paper sizes for printingthem.

Types

Besides printing data sent from the host device, the printer is also equipped with severalprinter functions. These are known as Print Utility.The Print Utility of this machine are as follows:• PCL6 Settings

• Printer Settings

• Error History

• Print History

• Job Template Server Settings

• PCL6 Font List

• PS Font List

The Print Utility is printed by a resolution of 400 dpi.

Paper sizes

To print the Print Utility, the following paper sizes must be set in the paper tray:• A3

• B4

• A4

When multiple paper sizes are used in multiple paper trays, the paper will be selectedin the order of A4, B4 and then A3.When all the paper trays are not loaded with any usable paper sizes, a messageindicating the correct size to use will be shown in the display and printing will commenceonce the paper tray is loaded.

The following items will be printed in the "Printing Status" column:

Printing Content Remarks

PSERR (Error Type) Error Type includes PostScript error types like "configuration

error" or "undefined".

Offending Command includes operators that cause errors.

RS-232C (Error Type) Printed when there is an error in the setting of serial interface.

Error Type includes types of error.

Treatment: Check the setting of serial interface.

Error (x x x x x x x x) Printed when print languages not installed are received. Error

code is recorded in x x x x x x x x.

Automatic Judgement Error Printed when printer language cannot be judged automatically

while Common Menu > Port Setting > Emulation Mode is set to

AUTO.

Treatment: Set the print language to match data by the print mode

setting.

Numeric Operation Error Printed when values exceeding the printer limit are used in the

print data.

Treatment: Remove the above-mentioned data.

Normal Ending 0 Page Printed in the following cases:

a. when data (control data) that can change the printer setting is

received from the host device.

b. when processing just ends while there are defects like gram-

matical errors in data and the print image cannot be correctly

formed.

Treatment for b:

Check the data contents according to Hex Dump of Mode Menu >

PCL6 Settings.

File Read Error (x x x) Printed when there are errors in the hard disk files. The file name is

recorded in x x x.

Treatment: Delete files that have errors or initialize the hard disk.

141

Appendix

Appendix C Print Utility

Remarks

Lossy compression. Job is very complexed, display list

takes up too much memory or decomposer will perform

lossy compression. Job can still be printed but image

cannot be guaranteed.

Treatment: Increase the PCL memory and print again.

Pages are broken due to memory shortage. This typically

happens when the PCL memory has already been

consumed for other purposes leaving little memory to

format the page. This leads to the situation where the

pages have to be broken mid-way and page data are

printed in many pages and image loss will occur.

Treatment: Increase the PCL memory and print again.

Printed when there is a PCL XL syntax error like

"IllegalAttribute", "IllegalAttributeCombination". If there

are more than one PCL XL syntax errors in the same job,

only the first error encountered will be logged in. The

maximum length of the PCL XL error code is 31 bytes.

Printed when there is a PJL command with syntax error. For

example, if the invalid command, "@PJL JOBINFOX

JOBNAME = ABCDEFGHIJKLMN" is ordered to printer,

the printing status should display the following:

PJL Error (JOBINFOX JOBNAME = ABCDEFGHIJK)

The PJL prefix - @PJL - will not be included and the

maximum length is 31 bytes. The PJL syntax error falls

into three categories:

1. unrecognised commands and command modifiers;

2. unsupported option; &

3. out-of-range value.

The result of the printing is shown on the next page.

E PostScript 3 Kit

This section describes the settings and precautions for using the optional PostScript 3 Kit to print in thePostScript language with the Xerox DC 400/350/250 printer.

E.1 Setting Up the Printer

To carry out a print job using the the PostScript language, you have to install the PostScriptprogramme ROM and then make settings from the printer control panel according to theoperating system that you are in.

Usable Common Menus

The following common menus become available when the PostScript ROM is installed onthe printer:

153

Appendix

Appendix E PostScript 3 Kit

Common Menu settings

Make the following settings from the printer control panel according to the operatingenvironment you are in. In the "Port Setting" menu, specify the type of the printer interfaceconnected to the host device for using the PostScript language as well as the necessaryrequirements for the communication. In the "Maintenance Mode" menu, change thememory capacity for using the PostScript environment.

Port SettingFor Parallel, Serial, lpd/PD, NetWare, EtherTalk

• PDL ModeSpecify PostScript 3 for the PDL mode.In the case of EtherTalk, PostScript 3 is the default.

For Parallel, Serial• Adobe Protocol

The PostScript protocol to be selected when in parallel or serial connection.Options available are:

• Standard: Selected when the protocol is in the ASCII format (default).• Binary: Selected when the protocol is in the binary format.

Depending on the data, the printing speed might be faster than whenselecting Standard.

• TBCP: Selected when the protocol exists in both ASCII and binary formatsand to switch between them by the specific control code.

• Set according to the data format output from the host device driver.

• For general use, select the default value, Standard.

• When the print mode of the parallel or serial interface is other thanPostScript 3, the setting here becomes invalid.

Maintenance ModeFor Memory Change

• PS MemoryTo set the memory capacity for using the PostScript language. The printing speedmay become faster by increasing the memory capacity for the PostScript software.The value ranges from 2 to 16 MB with 0.25 MB per unit. However, the maximumvalue varies according to the free memory capacity.

Print UtilityFor PS Font List

To print the list of PostScript fonts available in the printer.

E.2 Precautions and Limitations

When using the printer, pay attention to the following points:

When the printing result is different from the setting

The printing result may be different from the setting when the memory capacity of thepage buffer is insufficient. The following flowchart shows how the the print job isprocessed for data on a two-sided page in 600 dpi resolution.

Is the page buffer secured for one-sided page of

the data?

Does the compressed size of the two-sided

page data exceed the limitation of the buffer

size?

Lower the resolution to 400 dpi.

Is the page buffer secured for one-sided

page of the data?

Print the data on one

side in 400 dpi.

Does the compressed size of the two-sided

page data exceed the limitation of the buffer

size?

Print the data on two

sides in 600 dpi.

Abort the job.

NOYES

Appendix

Appendix E PostScript 3 Kit

When the print job is aborted

(1) Change page buffer size

Required page buffer size for 600 dpi is as follows:

A3 portrait B4 portrait A4 portrait

Without hard disk 10418 7774 5102

With hard disk 12501 9329 6123

(Unit: KB)

When page buffer for one page is not sufficient in 600 dpi, it will be lowered to400 dpi.

A3 portrait B4 portrait A4 portrait

Without hard disk 4641 3446 2273

With hard disk 5569 4135 2727

(Unit: KB)

The above values are the minimum required. It is recommended to set the value ofthe page buffer more than the minimum required.

"2.3 Increase/Allocation of Memory"

(2) Increase the memory as required. An optional RAM module (32 MB) is available.
