than printers such as QSS is installed, and the orders can be processed. In this case, read the Printer as PC on
which the EZ Controller is installed in this manual.

Installing the system program and profile CD


If the printer such as QSS-35PLUS, QSS-37 or M300 that supports NPS (Noritsu Printing Service) interface is
used to output images directly to the printer, install the printer system program and profile CD to the PC on which
the QSS Printer Driver is installed. If the printer system program and profile CD are not installed, this product
cannot be properly used, for example, error/attention messages are not shown or colors are not properly adjusted.

Next, if processing many pages at one time, go to Configuring the setting to process many pages at one time.
If not processing many pages at one time, register print size (output size).

2.5.2 Configuring the setting to process many pages at one time


This setting is for processing many pages at one time.
If not processing many pages at one time, go to Registering the print size (output size).
If the general capacity used on the OS is 512 MB (without having any operation on the PC), the remaining amount of
capacity is for the printer driver to use. However it depends on the memory size installed in the PC. When data that are over
this amount of capacity is processed, the PC locks the system and the operation cannot be performed normally. In this case, if
Print directly to the printer is selected, the operation can be performed regardless of the data capacity. However, the
processing capacity will be lower than the setting when Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster is
selected.

IMPORTANT
• If printing with a printer that supports the NPS (Noritsu Printing Service) interface such as the QSS-35PLUS
series, QSS-37 series and Printer Driver only, this function is valid.
• Some functions cannot be used to print with this setting.
For details about the functions that cannot be used, see 2.2 Settings for printing.

7 Additional information

7 Additional information

7.1 Upgrading the printer driver


To provide new functions or improve the printing performance, the printer driver may be upgraded from time to time.
You can obtain more comfortable printing experience using the latest version of the printer driver.
For information of the latest printer driver, contact your technical representative.

7.2 Basic knowledge and required environment for network connection

7.2.1 Required environment for network connection

Hub
Ethernet interface cable

G063450

Ethernet interface cable


Use a commercially available Ethernet interface cable for the connection.
When using a HUB as shown above, use straight cables. When not using a HUB (peer to peer connection), use cross cables.
Ethernet is a network standard and two types of cable connections are provided: 10 BASE and 100 BASE.
Compared with 10BASE, 100BASE offers a much faster data transmission rate.
However, it requires that the HUB and the PC also support 100 BASE data transmission.
For details about network specifications, see the catalog or the Operator's Manual of the PC.
If the specifications indicate support for something like 10/100, this means both 10 BASE and 100 BASE can be used.
If you are not sure of the specifications, use a 100 BASE Ethernet interface cable.

HUB
This is a device that connects a number of Ethernet interface cables together.
PCs and printers on a network are connected via a HUB.

TCP/IP
One of the protocols used for communication on a network.
It is a global standard protocol for communication on the Internet.
This product uses TCP/IP for communication between PCs and the printer.

IP address
As each telephone requires a telephone number, when PCs are used on a network, each of the PCs must have an identifier
(address).
This identifier is called an IP address, which is expressed in an array of numbers (e.g. 192.168.192.168) like a telephone
number.
Each device (PCs and printers) on a network must be assigned an IP address.

Network compatible computers


Your PCs must have a connector for connecting an Ethernet interface cable.

79
7 Additional information

While the connector looks similar in shape to a modular telephone jack, their functions are different.
Example:
