Printer Driver iii

1 Installation
A printer driver is an application that manages communication between a printer

and your computer. Once installed, the printer driver settings must be
configured in the printer Properties and Printing Preferences. There are two
methods of installation. Express Install is a quick way to install a driver and
certain features in package form. With Custom Install, you select from
individual drivers and utilities. In the Product Library window you can also
uninstall drivers and utilities with the Uninstall option.
You can click Maintenance to run certain utilities from the Product Library
window. Click Documents to access the release notes, printing system
operation guide, and other materials. With Upgrade you can update the driver
and utilities to a newer version. Upgrade is only available if there is a product
that needs to be upgraded. Selections vary according to printing system model
(network supported or not supported).
Note: In Windows operating systems, you must be logged in with

administrator rights to install the printer driver.
Preparing to Install the Driver

This section describes the initial steps to take before you install the printer
driver.
In Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista with a USB connection, a driver
installation can be made from the Microsoft Windows Update site if a certified
driver is available and the system is connected to the web. We recommend you
continue to install the driver from the supplied installation disc for an expanded
feature set. In Windows, if the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box
appears during the installation process, click Cancel. If the Hardware
Installation warning dialog box appears, click Continue Anyway.
1 Turn on the computer and the printer.
2 Insert the Product Library disc into the disc drive. The application should start
automatically.
Note: If the Product Library fails to start after inserting it into the disc drive,
use Windows Explorer to locate Setup.exe on the local drive and double-click
to open.
3 The Product Library window appears with the license dialog box. Read the
license agreement and then click Accept to proceed.
4 At the bottom of the Product Library window, select your language from the
list.
1-1 User Guide

Installation
European Default Duplex

Printing on both sides of a sheet of paper (duplex mode) reduces paper
consumption and helps conserve environmental resources. Duplex mode also
lowers costs by reducing the amount of paper that must be purchased. We
recommend that printing systems capable of duplex printing use duplex mode
by default. This can be set in the printer driver installation process for European
locations only.
After clicking Accept in the license dialog box, if the operating system locale is
EU and time zone is GMT 0, GMT +1 or GMT +2, a message about resource
and energy conservation appears. Read the message, and then click OK.
After installation is successful, an Enable Duplex check box is displayed on the
Finished page. Select the check box to have the driver automatically default to
duplex mode. Exceptions to the default can afterward be made by selecting
options in the driver Quick Print or Basic tabs.
Express Install
Express Install refers to quick device, driver, and utility installation for a USB or
network connection. The installation application discovers printing devices that
are turned on, and connected by USB or network cable. One or more feature
packages can be installed together.
Installing with Express Install

This section describes the express installation procedure of devices, drivers,
and utilities in Windows operating systems.
If the installer cannot find your printing device, contact your system
administrator.
1 Ensure that your printing device and computer are turned on and connected by
USB or network cable.
2 When the installer starts, Express Install is displayed as the default window if
there are no software upgrades waiting. Otherwise click the Express Install
button to return here from other windows.
3 In the Express Install window, the installer looks for your printing device. Each
discovered device is displayed in the device list as an icon with a model name
and location (USB port or IP address).
If your device is discovered, select your model in the device list.
If discovery does not find your device, remove and reinsert the USB or network
cable, and ensure that it is connected properly. Click the circular arrow icon to
refresh the discovery.
4 You can also find a device by typing a partial or full search term in the search
text box above the device list. You can search the discovered devices by model
name or USB port. The results are displayed in the device list. If the search
finds your device, select it. Click the x icon to clear the text box, and return to
the list of all discovered devices.
5 You can select Use host name as port name to use a host name for the
Standard TCP/IP port. (Not available with a USB connection.)

Job Accounting
Job accounting gives an administrator control of a printing system. With Job
accounting, account IDs (identification numbers) can be assigned to users or
departments. A specific account ID can be assigned, and then required before
printing. After account IDs are created, from the printing system operation panel
you can view the number of copies associated with a specific ID, as well as limit
the number of copies for individual IDs. Account IDs can be a maximum of 8
digits.
Note: Job accounting must be enabled on the printing system. The

maximum number of account IDs that can be assigned at the printing system
and stored in the printer driver varies by printing system model.
In a client/server environment, some options are unavailable to a client.

For a restricted user in a client/server environment, the Administrator button in
Device Settings becomes the Identity button. A user can select Job
Accounting data in the Identity Settings dialog box.

Media Source Enumeration

Media source enumeration supports compatibility for media source values
unique to the printer driver, such as those for cassettes or feeders. Your newly
installed printer driver maintains identical media source support with the driver it
replaces, whether for this driver or one from another manufacturer. If media
source macros exist for the older driver, then the alignment of media source
values maintains support without the need to change the macros.
Use the Driver Info utility (\Utility\Driver Info\DrvInfo.exe) to compare the
source values for all installed drivers.
If the values for a given media source differ between printer drivers, you can
reassign an enumerated value to create a match between the drivers.
Setting Media Sources

Collate
Collate specifies the order in which the pages of a multiple copy job are printed.
With Collate on, the first time the print job is sent to the printing system the data
is rendered as page images in the printing system's memory. The remaining job
copies are printed from the stored data. This avoids the extra processing
involved in sending every copy from the computer to the printing system.
Click the Collate icon to change between on and off.
With Collate on, the driver prints the complete job set by set (123, 123). With
Collate off, it prints each page by set (111, 222). For example, with Collate on,
three copies of a five-page document output as pages one through five in
succession, three times.
The printer driver automatically overrides the application’s Collate setting and
uses the printer driver setting. You can use the application's Collate setting by
clearing the Ignore application collation check box in the Compatibility
Settings dialog box accessed from Device Settings.
Duplex Printing
Duplex printing is printing on both sides of each page. Click the Duplex icon
repeatedly to change between flipping on long edge, flipping on short edge, and
off. The printing system contains an optional duplex unit that turns the paper
over to allow printing on the reverse side. Flip on long edge or Flip on short
edge must be selected to print on both sides of the cover and insert pages.
Flip on long edge
Turn the long edge of the page to view the content.
Flip on short edge
Turn the short edge of the page to view the content.

purpose of reviewing the document and conserving paper. The size and
readability of the multiple pages decrease as the number of pages per sheet is
increased. Click the Pages per sheet icon repeatedly to change between 2
pages per sheet, 4 pages per sheet, and off. You can set the arrangement of
the pages from the Layout tab as well as print borders around each of the
pages.

Print Size and Page Size

Print size controls the output page size of the document. To use this setting,
ensure that the Page Sizes setting matches the page size setting in your
application. If the Print size is different from the page size in your application,
then each page is enlarged or reduced to match the Print size. The percentage
value shown in brackets indicates the size of the Print size setting relative to
the Page Sizes setting. If the Page Sizes does not match the page size setting
in the application (the size of the original) then, in most cases the Print size is
ignored and the document is printed based on its original size.
You can create a page size with your chosen dimensions for printing on non-
standard size paper. You can then save the custom setting to the Page Sizes
and Print size lists for later selection.

grayscale to a graphics object. If printed patterns and fills do not match the
appearance of that on the screen, use Pattern scaling to select a different
density of printed dots.
In Imaging > Graphics, select Pattern scaling settings.
Auto (default setting)
This setting prints patterns and fills to match the on-screen appearance.

assigned print boxes correspond to the Box number list in the Job tab. You can
send your print job to one of these boxes. Assigned users can use one print box
each at one time. The number of print boxes varies by printing system model.
Sending a job to a print box creates the print job on the requesting computer’s
hard disk. The number of jobs that can be stored is determined by the space on
the hard disk. More than one job can be stored in each print box.
In order to receive the command to print from the print box, the KYOCERA
Client Tool must be open and your printing system selected. After jobs are sent
to a print box, they can be printed from the printing system's operation panel.
Jobs are saved until they are printed and then are removed from the hard disk.

visual arrangement. A fill is the application of a color or grayscale to a graphics object.
If printed patterns and fills do not match the appearance of that on the screen, use
Pattern scaling to select a different density of printed dots.
Poster Layout feature for printing a document in a larger size than the maximum
supported by the printer so the cumulative sheets can be assembled as a poster. Use
this feature to print a document in a large, eye-catching poster format, up to 25 times
larger than the original document size.
Print box Virtual “box” that stores print jobs on the computer hard disk for printing.
The jobs are released for printing at the printing system operation panel. Print box jobs
are deleted from the computer hard disk after printing.
Printer Driver ii
Print graphics as black This option prints all color graphics and text with black,
rather than grayscale. This feature is intended for CAD applications.
Print preview This feature lets you view your document before you send it to print.
Print text as black Prints all color text as black. It produces faster printing of color
print jobs by reducing the amount of data sent to the printer. In black and white
printing, it increases the detail for light-colored text printed. White text and image
colors are unaffected.
Profile A set of user defined driver settings that are saved as a group. Once saved,
you can select a profile by name and apply its settings to a print job without selecting
each feature individually.
Q Quick Print tab The Quick Print tab improves usability by providing an easier way
to set print options. You can choose basic settings or a predefined printer profile,
rather than having to go to various tabs. Quick Print settings can be captured in a
group called a profile. Profiles support common printing tasks, saving you from having
to repeatedly select the same settings. The Administrator can set the view of the Quick
Print tab through the Installation process, or Administrator Settings in Properties.
R Resolution The number of dots printed in one inch. Higher resolution improves the
quality of detailed printed images.
S Scaling Increases or decreases text and graphics on a page. Scaling is

unavailable if other Layout tab options are selected.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. The standard TCP/IP protocol for
managing IP network devices, including printing devices. SNMP settings determine
the level of security when using the Auto Configure feature, and prevent unauthorized
printing to the SNMPv3 printing device. SNMP settings must be set in the
Administrator settings in Device Settings, and in the printing system’s home page.
T Transparency A clear plastic, page-sized sheet used as a printing medium.
Transparency interleaving Publishing feature that inserts a backing sheet

between printed transparencies. The backing sheet, also known as an interleaf, helps
keep transparencies clean and prevents them from clinging together.
W Watermark The Watermark feature is available in the Advanced tab. A watermark

is a recognizable image or pattern that can be placed on a page or throughout a
document. You can choose one of the standard watermarks or create your own text.
