If printing is frequently interrupted by data from other ports, increase the timeout period.

  Default: [60 sec.]

  - 15 sec.

  - 60 sec.

  - 300 sec.

- Network

  Specifies how many seconds the machine waits for print data, if the data is interrupted while it is being sent from the computer via network. If the machine does not receive any more data within the time specified here, the machine only prints the data it has received.

  - Off

    You must install the printer/LAN-Fax driver separately for individual machines, because the machine other than the original will be recognized as a new device upon USB connection.

- Normal

  Select this if the room temperature is about 19 °C (66.2 °F) or higher.

- Long

  Select this if the room temperature is about 18 °C (64.4 °F) or lower. This prolongs the warm-up time for the machine's scanning unit by about 10 seconds.

Low Humidity Mode

If the machine is used in a room where humidity level is low, black lines of a few millimeters thick may appear on printouts with 75-millimeter spaces in between. Selecting [On] for this setting may prevent these lines from appearing (wait for about one day until this setting becomes effective).

Note that when this setting is enabled, the machine automatically performs self-maintenance in every 10 minutes.
