Rena Envelope Imager CS - Manual (Page 22)

SECTION 3
OPERATING THE ENVELOPE IMAGER CS
Section 3 – Operating the Printer
Once the Printer Driver is installed on your computer, you are ready to start printing. This section is
divided into two parts. The first part describes how to set up a job to print from Microsoft Word. The
second part describes the driver properties and the various options available when you run a job.
The Printer Driver that you installed on your computer in Section 2 should be set as the default driver. It
will then be accessible through your applications such as Microsoft Word. Other types of applications and
database management software will work in a similar manner when using this Driver.
This Section further assumes that you have setup the feed and printer is connected to your computer.
Ink-backup Mode
You can run the Envelope Imager CS printer with only one print cartridge installed.
This is called "ink-backup mode". This mode is commonly used when you only need to print in black, or if
one of the print cartridges runs out of ink and you don't have a replacement available.
C6656 Black cartridge only:
Colors are printed in grayscale. Black is printed in true black.
Can provide higher production speeds; because it uses the least number of printhead movements
and paper movements, to print the image.
C6657 Color cartridge only:
Colors print normally (color mixing). Black is printed as a mixed color, not true black.
C6658 Photo cartridge only:
Not recommended. Colors are printed in grayscale. Black is grayed and not a true black.
Pausing a Print Job
To temporarily pause a print job; remove the media from the feed area. To resume the print job, insert
media into the feed area. Then press the Paper key (LED will be blinking) to resume printing.
Operating Tips:
• In general, you should avoid shutting off the main power switch unless you don't plan to use the
printer for an extended period of time (more than a few days).
At power on, the printer must perform an extensive cartridge cleaning process. If you always
power the printer off and on with the main power switch, you will reduce the print cartridges life
(waste ink) and you will increase the accumulation of ink partial buildup inside the printer; which
will increase printer service needs.
• If you plan to shut off the main power switch to the printer; please be sure the print cartridges have
had time to be sealed, before you shut it off. Unsealed cartridge nozzles will clog or partially clog,
causing poor print quality.
Press the Soft Power Key and wait until all head movement has stopped and all LED's (including
the Soft Power LED) have gone out. Then it is safe to turn off the main power switch.
