Infoprint 4000 & 4100 IBM
Using the Console Simulator

Chapter 1. About the console simulator
This CD-ROM contains the Infoprint 4000 & Infoprint 4100 Enhanced Operator Console Simulator. The simulator
allows you to view the printer console on your workstation. The screens that you see, are the same screens that
will appear on you r printer. You can navigate through the panels and familiarize yourself with the console.
The look of the simulator (the window layouts, buttons, icons etc.) are exactly the same as they appear on the
printer.
The way the console reacts when you push a button or select a field, is the same on the simulator and the printer
console.
Differences between the console simulator and the printer console

Anytime an operation is performed: a window appears for a few seconds with an ″in progress″ message (for
example: Starting....), then the widow goes away, that is an interaction with the printer.
Some interactions that actually require the printer cannot be modelled in the simulator such as:
v What attachments are available
v How much toner and fuser oil are in the printer
Other interactions, such as pressing Start or OK, are simulated and will work about 90% of the time, but are not
100% accurate.
Choosing your access level is done differently on the simulator than on the printer console. Although the
Logon... button and it selections appear on the simulator, choosing a different access level within the Console
Simulator screen will not actually change your access level. To change access levels, you must do from the
AFCCU Simulator window using the Configure function. (See “Changing Access Levels” on page 7.)

Password
The different levels of authorization are:
v Operator: No password is required for access to Operator procedures.
v Administrator: The Administrator has access to all functions except those related to the service and repair of
the printer.
v Service : The service representative has access to all functions of the printer.
The procedures and information available on the touchscreen depend on the user’s level of authorization. A
procedure is grayed out if it is not authorized for the current user.
The key operator can change the Administrator password, and the customer engineer can change both the
Administrator and the Service passwords.
Initially, the Service password is set as “empty”, meaning that you select the password by selecting only the OK
key on the password keyboard.
If you do not know the password, contact your next level support.

Snapshots - forms settings
Snapshots allow you to ″take a picture″ of all the printer settings that are related to the printing and processing of
forms. When you need to print a similar print job you can load the previous Snapshot that you saved.
Creating or updating a snapshot involves setting values for a form and setting other printer definition values,
including values for Print Quality, Basic printer definitions, Registration, and Pre/Post Processing. The following
table Snapshot values lists the values that you see in a snapshot.
Note: There is a configuration item Snapshot Mode that allows you to control whether you Save Only Form
Settings or Save All Settings in a Snapshot. If Save Only Form Settings is selected, only the items in the
form settings column are saved in the snapshot. See Step 16 of Entering printer values about selecting this
item.

Error Log parameter is 50.
Each model of printer has a unique set of default values for the
Print Quality parameters. For example: A default oil rate value of
50 on a 229 PPM printer may equate to a slower oil rate than a
default oil rate value of 50 on a 324 PPM printer.
There are a set of default values when printing with MICR toner.

these are called Automatic Forms Based Printer Adjustments.
