Printer Settings This section describes the printer settings and how to access them using the touch panel display. The basic settings, such as the number of copies and the paper size, can be specified by the application sending the print job or by the printer driver. The machine, however, has more printer settings including those that cannot be specified remotely from an application or from the printer driver. There are two ways to specify the printer settings, as follows.
Setting Priorities When a particular setting can be specified either by using the touch panel display on the machine or by specifying the setting in an application or the printer driver, the setting from the application or printer driver will override the setting made on the touch panel display on the machine. For settings available only on the touch panel display or Remote UI, the most recently specified settings take priority.
Using the Printer Settings Menu The Printer Settings menu enables you to access common features. Below is an abbreviated outline of the Printer Settings menu structure. For a detailed description of all the Printer Settings menu options, see “Settings Menu,” on p. 4-7. NOTE Depending on the printer environment, some settings may not be available.
2 Press [Printer Settings]. 3 Press [ ] or [ ] to select the setting that you want to change ➞ press [OK]. Customizing Settings 4 Referring to the descriptions of the following settings, select the option best suited to your preferences: - Default PaperSize (See p. 4-7) - Default PaperType (See p. 4-8) - Copies (See p. 4-8) - 2-Sided Printing (See p. 4-8) - Print Quality (See p. 4-9) - Layout (See p. 4-11) - Auto Continue (See p. 4-13) - Timeout (See p. 4-14) - Finishing (See p.
Settings Menu This section provides detailed information on the Printer Settings. NOTE The default settings are indicated in bold. Default PaperSize This setting defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set from the printer driver in the computer, or when no paper source is specified.
Default PaperType Plain, Color, Recycled, Heavy Paper 1, Transparency, Bond, Labels, 3Hole Punch Paper, Envelope This setting sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type. For more information on the paper types, see Chapter 7, “Appendix,” in the Reference Guide.
Print Quality ■ Image Refinement On, Off This setting smoothes the jagged outlines of characters and graphics. If [On] is selected, smoothing is performed before printing. If [Off] is selected, jobs are printed without being smoothed. NOTE The effects of image refinement may vary depending on the types of characters and graphics on the printed document. 9 levels; 5 This setting adjusts the print density. Pressing [ ] or [ ] makes the print image lighter or darker, respectively.
■ Line Refinement On, Off This setting enables you to make clearer prints of documents containing fine lines and small characters. ■ Horizontal Line Off, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 This setting adjusts the thickness of horizontal lines to produce fine lines and small characters more clearly. The higher the level number, the thicker the horizontal lines printed. NOTE • This setting is also available when the Line Refinement is set to [On] in the printer driver.
Layout ■ Binding Location Long Edge, Short Edge This setting determines whether the binding position is along the long edge or the short edge of the paper. When binding for two-sided printing, the image orientation is automatically adjusted to produce the correct layout.
■ Margin -50.0 to +50.0mm (in increments of 0.5 mm); 0.0mm This setting sets the page margin in millimeters or inches. Press [ ] to increase the width of the outside margin. (Example 1) Press [ ] to increase the width of the inside margin. (Example 2) 0.0mm Center Center Center 4 Customizing Settings Example 1 Example 2 You can specify the edge along which the margin will be created in the Binding setting.

Timeout On (5 to 300sec), Off; 15sec The Timeout setting enables the machine to discard a print job that remains in the machine’s memory after a specified period of time. This setting is useful when the data for the current job has some error and prevents the machine from performing further printing. In this case, the machine will not receive other print commands because it performs printing in chronological order (jobs are printed in the order they are received).
Finishing Off, Collate, Offset+Collate, Offset+Group, Staple+Collate This setting enables you to make printouts in sets arranged in page order, or in groups of each page as required. You can also staple printouts. NOTE The Offset and Staple modes are available only when the optional Staple Finisher-H1 is attached to the machine. Off This setting prints all copies of the same page before printing the next page.
Examples of each Finishing option when printing three copies of a three page document are provided below. [Off] [Offset+Collate] [Collate] [Offset+Group] Customizing Settings 4 [Staple+Collate] NOTE • Offset+Collate and Offset+Group are available for the following paper sizes: A4, B5, LTR, LGL, or EXEC. • The Staple+Collate mode is available for selection if the paper size is A4, B5, LTR, LGL, or EXEC. • You can use the 64 to 128 g/m2 paper for stapling.
Personality Auto, PCL, PS This setting enables the machine to process data received from the host computer in the specified data format. Setting the ‘Personality’ to [Auto] makes the machine determine the type of data received from the host on a job-by-job basis. If you are printing from applications on a computer, we recommend that you use the [Auto] setting.

PCL6 printing is not supported. NOTE This function is available if [On] is selected in the Custom Paper setting. X dimension Customizing Settings 4 140.0 to 630.0 mm; 356.0 This setting enables you to specify the horizontal size of the custom paper.
NOTE • This function is available if [On] is selected in the ‘Custom Paper’ setting. • Holding down [ ] or [ ] makes the values change faster. Append CR to LF No, Yes This setting enables you to specify whether to append a carriage return (CR) when a line feed code (LF) is received. If [Yes] is selected, the print head moves to the beginning of the next line when a line feed code is received.
Widen A4 Print Off, On This setting determines whether to expand the printable area of A4 size paper to that of Letter size in width. If [On] is selected, the entire area on a page 4.23 mm from the top and bottom edges and 1.28 mm from the left and right edges is available for printing on A4 paper. Only the width increases. If [Off] is selected, the entire area on a page 4.23 mm from the top, bottom, left, and right edges is available for printing on A4 paper.
Halftones Text: Resolution, High Resolution, Tone, Gradation Graphics: Tone, Gradation, Resolution, High Resolution Image: Tone, Gradation, Resolution, High Resolution This setting specifies how to express halftones in black and white data. Print data is expressed in dots. Fine gradations, edges, and shades are expressed by using dither patterns, which are groups of dots. This is called halftone processing.
PS Settings The PS settings available with the machine are described below. Job Timeout 0 to 3600 seconds (in increments of 1); 0s This setting enables you to specify the amount of time before a job times out. If a job has not finished within the set time limit, the job automatically cancels.

Some Basic Facts about Fonts This section summarizes some of the basic facts you should know about fonts. What Is a Font? A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font. A font consists of the letters A to Z in both upper and lowercase, as well as numerals and symbols. The design that distinguishes one font from another is referred to as a “typeface.
Typeface Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces. Stroke Weight Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available. The figure below shows an example of medium and bold printing. Style 6 Appendix Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two styles: upright and italic.
Point Size Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The bitmapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size. Scalable fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. The following figure shows an example of various point sizes.
Character Width (Fixed and PS) Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given point size. For example, “W” is a wider letter than “I.” There are two ways to print letters of different widths: you can print all letters with the same spacing, regardless of their actual width; or you can change the spacing between letters to accommodate these different widths.
Symbol Set When you print the letter “A,” the host computer sends a code corresponding to “A” (hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code. In this case, the machine searches for the pattern for “A,” and prints it.
Fonts and Scalable Fonts There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed. • Bitmapped fonts • Scalable fonts Bitmapped Fonts Each character of bitmapped fonts are composed of a grid of small dots and stored in the machine’s memory in dot matrix format. Bitmapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by characteristics called “attributes,” such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on.
Scalable Fonts With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.
Standard Scalable and OCR Sets Fonts (PCL) With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.) The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.
