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.
