10 Features and Functions
0.Features and Functions
Extensive Client Platform Support
This equipment supports printing from Windows OS computer, macOS computer, and UNIX/Linux workstations. Not
all features are supported on all platforms, however.
Various Port Options
You can map this equipment to print to an SMB, IPP, Raw TCP, WSD, or LPR port.
Multiple Job Types
Job Types refer to the way this equipment handles a print job.
The Normal mode requires no special handling and is the most frequently used printing mode.
Scheduled Print lets you specify the time and date at which to print a job.
The Private Print mode allows you to hold a job in the print queue until you enter a password at the copier touch
panel to print the job.
The Hold Print mode allows you to hold a job in the hold queue until you continue the job from the touch panel.
The Proof Print mode prints the first copy of a multi-copy job and then awaits your approval before printing the
remaining copies.
The Multi Station Print mode allows you to print jobs that were sent to this equipment from another MFP.
This function requires e-BRIDGE Multi Station enabler.
Overlay File prints a document element, such as text or graphics, to a file for superimposing on the background of
other documents.
The Store to e-Filing mode allows you to store the printed document in e-Filing.
The Multiple Job Type feature allows you to print jobs of more than one type together. For example, you can store a
job in the specified e-Filing and print it at the specified time by combining Scheduled Print and Store to e-Filing.
Professional Finishing Options
Depending on the type of finishing units you have installed, you can choose to sort, group, fold and staple your
documents (including saddle-stitching) and punch binding holes. Available functions differ from model to model.
Sophisticated Document Layout and Assembly Options
You can choose whether to print your document as you have set it up in the application, or to impose printer-driven
document layout options such as printing in Book Format or printing Multiple Pages per Sheet.
Additionally, the printer drivers provide the ability to print selected pages on different media. This includes printing
front and back covers, inserting sheets at predefined positions within the document, or interleaving pages so that
every other page is inserted blank or printed on a different type of media.
Various Sizes of Printing Paper Available
You can define custom paper sizes other than the standard ones to print data created with your application.
Watermark and Image Overlay Support
Watermarks are a great way to subtly convey useful information about your printed documents. Common watermarks
are “Confidential,” “Draft,” and “Original.” Several watermarks have been pre-defined for use with your documents,
or you can create and save your own custom watermarks.
Watermarks consist of text. Image Overlays can be any combination of text, graphics or other document elements.
Printing watermarks consumes fewer resources than using Image Overlays, so you should use watermarks wherever
possible, particularly when printing speed is an issue.

Important Notes
When User Management is enabled, it is used to manage print jobs instead of the Department Code Management
setting. In this case, that user name that was entered to log in to your computer is used to authenticate the print
job. Therefore, you do not need to set your department code to the printer driver but you must register your user
name in advance. If your user name is not registered, the print job is processed as an invalid job according to the
User Authentication Enforcement setting. Also, print jobs sent in RAW format are processed according to the RAW
Print Job setting. For more information about the User Authentication Enforcement setting or the RAW Print Job
setting, see the reference below.

When Windows Domain Authentication is used for the User Management Setting, your computer must log in to the

If the No Limit Black function is enabled, you can only perform department management for Color. When [Auto],
[Color], or [Twin Color] are selected from [Color] on the [Basic] tab, you need to enter your department code. When
[Black and White] is selected, you do not have to specify the department code.
You can set some print options, such as collation, from the application and the printer driver. If collation is set from
the application, documents may not be printed correctly. If that happens, use the printer driver to set the collation
mode. Depending on the application, some print options, such as the orientation, need to be set from the
application. For print options that can be set from both the application and the driver, see the manual supplied
with the application.
Notes when using the Universal PS3 printer driver
When printing from Adobe Acrobat, the print function for selecting the paper source matching the PDF page size is

0.Printing From UNIX/Linux
This section describes how to print from a UNIX/Linux workstation.
When the User Management setting is enabled, a print job sent from UNIX/Linux workstations is processed as an
invalid job according to the User Authentication Enforcement setting. For more information about the User
Authentication Enforcement setting, see the reference below.
TopAccess - [Administration] - [Security] Item List - Authentication settings - Setting up User Authentication
Setting
Before attempting to print from a UNIX/Linux workstation, make sure all the UNIX/Linux Filters are installed in your
workstation. For more information about the UNIX/Linux filter setting, see the reference below.
Installation - INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS FOR UNIX/Linux
For instructions on how to install or set CUPS, see the reference below.
Installation - INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS FOR UNIX/Linux - Setting Up the CUPS
Considerations and limitations
This equipment acts only as a filter and not as a complete driver. The size and order of the printed pages cannot be
modified.
The UNIX/Linux filters do not support the following engine-supplied features:
-Enlarge/Reduce printing
-Rotate Sort
-N-up printing
-Watermarks
-Cover Sheets
-Sheet Insertion
- Scheduled Print
- Print to Overlay File
-Store to e-Filing
- Use Overlay Image
Linux uses the lptap command to send a file to this equipment.
Since lp is not supported in all versions of Linux, the lptap command should be used instead.
AIX supports printing using the qdaemon. This can be invoked by the user with the commands lp, lpr or qprt. In
order to use the filter, either lp or qprt should be used.
Printing using lp command
Use the lp command (lptap in Linux) to send a file to this equipment for printing. This command specifies various
printer-specific options using the -o option parameter on the command line. The lp command also sets other print
options using various other parameters. Use the “man net_estcolor” command to display the online document that
describes the various options and parameters that can be set to configure printed output.
All the options are sent to this equipment at the start of a print job so, if the print file contains its own commands, they
may override the lp options.

OTHER PRINTING METHODS
Generic “lp” and “lptap” options
How to print files
Enter the following “Ip” command to print files with the specified printer:
lp -d <queuename> <filename>
Copies
The number of copies of a print job is specified using the “-n <value>” parameter with the “lp” command. The default
value is determined by the “lp” command and it is always 1. The copies are always collated.
Title
The title that is printed on the banner page can be specified using the “-t <title>” parameter with the “lp” command.
The default value is determined by the “lp” command and it is often the name of the print file. If multiple files are
printed using the same “lp” command the default title is set to the name of the first file by the “lp” command.
General options
The options below are applied to all print jobs that this equipment handles.
Option commands differ from model to model depending on the options and paper sizes available.
Option commands are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.
Some printing functions may be disabled depending on the combinations of option commands because priority is
given to the specifications of this equipment over option commands.
Print Language
The “net_estcolor” program needs to know what printer language is used in each of the files that it is printing so that
it can issue the correct commands to select various options. The following options are valid for the print languages.
All PCL5e jobs automatically send the “<esc>&k2G” command to convert the line-feed character into a carriage-return
- line-feed sequence. If the PCL5e job contains some of its own escape sequences it may override this setting.
The default print language is “auto”.
Example: The command to specify that a file is PostScript is “lp -o ps <filename>”.
Option Value Alternate Value Description
auto Each file to be printed is examined to see if it starts with the “%!”
sequence. If it does, then it is assumed that it is a PostScript file, otherwise
it assumes that it is a plain text or a PCL6 file.
pcl The print file is always treated as a plain text or a PCL6 file.
postscript ps The file is always treated as a PostScript file.
raw The file is treated as a fully formatted file that already contains all the
necessary commands. The file is sent to the printer without any
modifications. In this mode no other options are valid and a banner page is
not printed.

Stapling
This sets whether a print job is printed with staples. When the optional Finisher is installed it can be activated using
the following option.
If this option is not specified, the printer’s default value will be used.
Example: The command to staple in the upper left corner of a long edge feed portrait page is “lp -o staple=1
<filename>”.
The value for the stapling position depends on the paper size, the paper feed direction, and the print direction. For the
available paper sizes to this function, see the reference below.

Text Length
The text length can be specified using the following options.
If the text length is set too high, part of the text may not appear due to the printer’s unprintable area. The text length
will be ignored if it is set to a value greater than the printer’s logical page length minus the top margin. The text length
is specified in rows from the top margin. Setting this value may affect the number of lines specified using the page
length option.
If this option is not specified, the command will not be sent so the printer’s default value will be used.
Example: The command to set the text length to 40 lines is “lp -o tl=40 <filename>”.
Banner Page
A banner page is automatically generated for each file in each job. The banner page is always sent as a PCL5e job,
including the following items.
Name of the user who performed printing
Job ID number and workstation name from which the job was sent
Job title (This can be specified using the “-t” option. The same title controlled by the “lp” command is normally
applied to each job.)
Option specified when printing was performed
Number of printed sheets
Name of the printer and its IP address
Date and time
Only one copy of the banner page is printed for each file, even if a number of copies of the job are requested. The
banner page is sent to the equipment as a separate sub-job so that it is never stapled to the document.
The banner page is printed with the following settings.
Copies = 1.
Stapling off.
Hole punching off.
Orientation = portrait.
Duplex off.
Paper size as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer’s default value.
The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than the job’s paper source
and media type.
Auto paper source selection or the requested banner page source or media type.
Output bin as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer default value.
6 lines per inch
Auto-wrap on.
Automatic carriage-return when a line-feed is sent.
The banner page is designed to fit the paper bigger than Statement / A5.
The banner page uses the default paper size if paper is set to:
-Statement
-A5
-A6
-B5
The default is that the banner page is printed before the job so that it is in the correct stacking order.
When the language is set to “raw” the banner is always disabled.
The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to values different than the job’s paper source
and media type. If a banner paper source is not specified then the auto source command is sent. If a banner media
type is not specified, then no banner media type command is sent, so the printer’s default value will be used.
If the file being printed specifies the paper destination or the paper size internally, the banner page may printed to
the wrong output or on an incorrect paper size.
Hole punching cannot be applied to banner pages.
Option Value Alternate Value Description
tl=value Set the length to value lines.

Banner Options
The banner page can be printed using the following options.
The default value for this option is that the banner page is printed first.
Example: The command to printing the banner page after the job is “lp -o banner=last <filename>”.
Banner Paper Source
The banner paper source can be specified using the following option.
If the banner paper source is not specified the PCL5e auto paper source command “<esc>&l7H” will be sent. The
banner page source cannot be set to manual feed. The paper size always has priority over the paper source.
Example: The command to specify that the banner page paper source is the Large Capacity Feeder is “lp -o blcf
<filename>”.
Banner Media Type
The banner page paper source can also be selected using the media type using the following option.
The paper size always has priority over the media type and the paper source.
If this option is not specified, the command will not be sent so the printer’s default value will be used to print the
banner page.
The command to specify that the banner page should be printed on a media type is “lp -o bmtype=Plain1 <filename>”.
Option Value Alternate Value Description
