Printing Files Directly From the Remote UI
You can print PDF, PS/EPS, TIFF/JPEG, XPS, or image files directly from the Remote UI, without having to open the files.
Direct Print
The Direct Print function enables you to send files directly to a printer without using a printer driver. The printer recognizes the file, and prints it. Thus, it is not necessary to open a file to print it.
To print using the Direct Print function, specify the file (PDF file or TIFF/JPEG image file) you want to print from the Remote UI. You can also specify a URL to print a PDF file directly from the Web.
The Direct Print function also supports command entry (LPR command) from the command prompt.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
After registering the license for the Direct Print Kit, make sure you restart the machine and perform the procedure in "Reset Printer." The Direct Print function is only activated when the license has been registered, the machine has been restarted, and the printer settings have been initialized.
The touch panel display settings for use with Direct Print are 'Common Settings', 'Imaging Settings', 'PDF Settings', and 'XPS Settings'. For more information on the settings for 'Common Settings', 'Imaging Settings', 'PDF Settings', and 'XPS Settings', see "Function Settings: Printer."
Even in cases where you cannot print a file or if the print output is out of alignment using the Direct Print function, you may still be able to open the file in an application and print it using the printer driver.

Printing PDF Files Directly
To print PDF files directly from the Remote UI, perform the following procedure:
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
The Direct Print Kit (for PDF/XPS) is required to print a PDF file without opening it.
|
1.
Click [Direct Print] → [PDF Files].
2.
Specify the PDF file you want to print.
If you want to specify the file path, click [Browse] for <Specify File>→ click [Open...].
If a password is required to open the document or a password must be entered when printing, enter the password in <Document Password>.
If you want to print a PDF file linked to the policy server, enter <Policy Server User Name> and <Policy Server Password>.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
To set this function, the Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management server and this machine must be connected via the Internet or an intranet.
If you attempt to print a file without entering the password, the message <PDL PDF Data Decode Err> is displayed, and printing is cancelled. To print PDF files that forbid printing, or to print PDF files that only allow low-resolution printing in high resolution, enter the master password.
|
|
NOTE
|
|
If you specify to print a PDF file by entering its URL, the next print job cannot be processed until the download of the PDF file is complete or until the browser has disconnected from the Web server.
Only the HTTP protocol is supported for the printing of a PDF file by entering its URL.
|
3.
Set <Specify Print Range>.
If you select [All], all pages are printed.
If you select [Pages] and enter the range of pages, only the specified pages are printed.
4.
Set [Quality Settings].
|
[Gradation]
|
This setting specifies the resolution for printing.
If you select [High 1], four-colour (2 bit/pixel) gradation is used for
printing. If you select [High 2], 16-colour (4 bit/pixel) gradation is used for printing.
|
|
[Halftones]
|
You can set how to express colour halftones.
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.
If you select [Gradation], you can print with both smooth gradation and outlines, which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.
If you select [Resolution], you can print text with distinct outlines, which is best to print text and thin lines.
If you select [Error Diffusion], finer printing can be done than with [Resolution], although toner stability is somewhat weaker. This is suited to printing small characters and fine lines, and outlines (such as from CAD data) sharply.
|
|
[Advanced Smoothing]
|
This setting smoothes jagged outlines of graphics (illustrations created by application software) and characters.
[Smooth 2] performs a higher level of smoothing than [Smooth 1]. If [Smooth 1] is selected and the results are still not printed smoothly, select [Smooth 2].
By selecting for 'Apply to Graphics' and 'Apply to Text', you can select whether to apply smoothing to graphics or text data.
This setting allows you to apply smoothing to graphics data and text data. Smoothing is not applied to image data.
'Apply to Graphics' and 'Apply to Text' can only be selected when [Smooth 1] or [Smooth 2] is selected for Advanced Smoothing.
Settings for 'Apply to Graphics' and 'Apply to Text' on this setting will be effective only if 'Printer Default' is set for Advanced Smoothing in the printer driver.
The results of Advanced Smoothing may differ depending on the characters and graphics patterns.
|
5.
Set [Color Settings].
|
[Color Mode]
|
This setting enables you to set the colour mode you want to specify when printing.
If [Auto (Color/Black)] is selected, the machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colours: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
If [Black] is selected, data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in colour.
If [Full Color] is selected, data is printed in four colours: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
|
|
[RGB Source Profile]
|
This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (colour data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) colour model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing colour images or graphics made by the RGB colour model.
[sRGB]
This setting specifies the industry standard definition for generic Windows computer monitors. If you are using an sRGB compatible monitor, you can print out colours close to how they appear on your monitor.
[Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], and [Gamma 2.4]
These settings enable you to select the gamma correct level of the RGB data. The higher the value, the darker the printout.
[None]
When this setting is selected, device dependent RGB data is converted into CMYK without applying the RGB profile.
[Download Profile]
This setting specifies the profiles you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. You can store up to 100 profiles.
|
|
[CMYK Simulation Profile]
|
This setting allows you to specify the simulation target to print the CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK) data. The machine converts CMYK data into a device dependent CMYK colour model based on the simulation target selected in the CMYK Simulation Profile.
[JapanColor(Canon)]
This setting uses the JapanColor profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Japan.
[US Web Coated(Canon)]
This setting uses the U.S. Web Coated profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in the USA.
[Euro Standard]
This setting uses the Euro Standard profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Europe.
[None]
When this setting is selected, device dependent CMYK data is printed as is without applying the CMYK profile.
[Download Profile]
This setting uses custom simulation target that you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. You can store up to 100 profiles.
|
|
[Output Profile]
|
This setting allows you to define the profile that is appropriate for the data you are going to print.
[Normal]
This setting prints the colours closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor. [Photo]
This setting prints colours close to photographic prints. [TR Normal]
This setting prints the colours closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor, and also reduces toner bleeding of text and fine lines. [TR Photo]
This setting prints colours close to photographic prints, and also reduces toner bleeding of text and fine lines. [Download Profile]
This setting uses custom simulation target that you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. |
|
[Perform RGB Pure Black Processing]
|
This setting enables you to specify how black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B should be processed when device dependent RGB data is converted into device dependent CMYK data using the 'RGB Source Profile' of the machine.
|
|
[Perform CMYK Pure Black Processing]
|
This setting enables you to specify how monochrome data (C=M=Y=0) should be printed when the device dependent CMYK data is processed using the 'CMYK Simulation Profile' of the machine.
|
|
[Matching Method]
|
This setting allows you to specify a method of printing when the RGB Source Profile is applied. This machine includes a colour management system that provides the following colour rendering styles.
[Perceptual]
This setting produces the best results for photographic or bitmapped images. [Saturation]
This setting is best suited for printing illustrations and diagrams used in business presentations. [Colorimetric]
This setting provides a close match to the RGB colour value of the machine's printing range. |
|
[Use Grayscale Profile]
|
You can convert device dependent gray data into CMYK data by using the Grayscale Profile of the machine. However, the data may be reproduced using only the black (K) toner, depending upon the Pure Black Text or Output Profile.
|
|
[Pure Black Text]
|
This setting affects the printout for black (R=G=B=0% or C=M=Y=100%/Bk=N%) text on a page. Under most circumstances it is preferable to leave this option selected. If you enable this option, black colours generated by applications are printed using only 100% black toner. This means that the colour toner will not be misaligned since only one toner colour (black) is used.
|
|
[Black Overprint]
|
This setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text when printing black text over a colour background or graphics. If you enable this option, you can overprint black text. When this setting is used in combination with the Pure Black Text option, the machine first prints the full colour background, then lays the black text on the top of the colour background as 100% K (black) toner. Overprinting also reduces misalignment of colours and a halo effect that can appear around the edge of the text.
|
|
[Perform Composite Overprinting]
|
You can overprint device-dependent CMYK data as composite output. All colours used for data are overlaid and printed on one plate so you can check the finished result without separating the colours.
|
|
[Brightness]
|
This setting adjusts the brightness of the overall image. The settings can be set between 85% and 115% in increments of 5%. Selecting [85%] makes the image brighter, and selecting [115%] makes it darker.
|
|
[Grayscale Conversion]
|
This setting is used to convert the colour data into grayscale data.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
This setting is valid only if the colour mode is set to [Black].
|

Set [Color Settings].
|
[Color Mode]
|
This setting enables you to set the colour mode you want to specify when printing.
If [Auto (Color/Black)] is selected, the machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colours: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
If [Black] is selected, data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in colour.
If [Full Color] is selected, data is printed in four colours: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
|
|
[Matching Mode]
|
This setting enables you to set the type of colour matching method to apply for each text, graphics, and image that make the print job, or for each colour space, such as RGB and CMYK.
If [ICC Profile] is selected, you can select the matching method to compensate the difference between the colour spaces used for the input profile (applied to the colour space used for input data) and the output profile (defines device dependent colour space).
If [Gamma] is selected, you can adjust the brightness of printing not to lose the brightest and darkest portions of the original data.
|
|
[RGB Source Profile]
|
This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (colour data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) colour model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing colour images or graphics made by the RGB colour model.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
[sRGB]
This setting specifies the industry standard definition for generic Windows computer monitors. If you are using an sRGB compatible monitor, you can print out colours close to how they appear on your monitor. [Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], and [Gamma 2.4]
These settings enable you to select the gamma correct level of the RGB data. The higher the value, the darker the printout.
[Download Profile]
This setting specifies the profiles you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. You can store up to 100 profiles.
|
|
[Output Profile]
|
This setting allows you to define the profile that is appropriate for the data you are going to print. It is applied to all data in the print job, so make sure the selected profile is right for your job.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
[Normal]
This setting prints the colour closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor. [Photo]
This setting prints colours close to photographic prints. |
|
[Matching Method]
|
This setting allows you to specify a method of printing when the RGB Source Profile is applied. This machine includes a colour management system that provides the following colour rendering styles.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
[Perceptual]
This setting produces the best results for photographic or bitmapped images. [Saturation]
This setting is best suited for printing illustrations and diagrams used in business presentations. [Colorimetric]
This setting provides a close match to the RGB colour value of the machine's printing range. |
|
[Gamma Correction]
|
The brightness of printing can be adjusted to not lose the brightest and darkest portions of the original data. For example, this setting is made when the printout is brighter than the original image (original photograph before being scanned, graphics created on a monitor, etc.) or when wanting to change the brightness before printing. The higher the value, the darker the printout. [1.4] is the value for an uncorrected (default) state.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data. |
|
[Photo Optimizer PRO]
|
You can adjust the contrast, colour balance, saturation, and balance for images.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
If the colour mode is set to [Black], this setting is invalid.
|
|
[Red-Eye Correction]
|
Detects and corrects red-eyes on photographs occurred because of the flash or electronic flash when photographing. You can also make corrections when only half of the face is shown on the photograph. You can specify the correction level in [Level].
If [Weak] is selected, correction level is small.
If [Standard] is selected, correction level is between 'Weak' and 'Strong'.
If [Strong] is selected, correction level is big.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
If the colour mode is set to [Black], this setting is invalid.
|
|
[Face Brightener]
|
If faces in the photographs appear dark because of backlight or underexposure, you can correct the brightness of the entire image to obtain the desired brightness for faces. You can specify the correction level in [Level].
If [Weak] is selected, correction level is small.
If [Standard] is selected, correction level is between 'Weak' and 'Strong'.
If [Strong] is selected, correction level is big.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
If the colour mode is set to [Black], this setting is invalid.
The effect differs, depending on the data.
|
|
[Grayscale Conversion]
|
You can select ways to convert colour values to a grayscale value when you print colour print data.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
[sRGB] lets the machine to calculate the grayscale value by the colour conversion method based on sRGB.
[NTSC] lets the machine to calculate the grayscale value by the colour conversion method based on NTSC.
[Uniform RGB] counts the average value of the Red, Green, and Blue values as the grayscale value.
This setting allows you to convert the colour data into grayscale data.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
This setting is valid only if the colour mode is set to [Black].
|
|
[Perform Gray Compensation]
|
This setting determines whether only black (K) toner is used.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
If [On] is selected, black and gray data is printed using the black (K) toner only, which lessens toner bleeding.
If [Off] is selected, black and gray data is printed using all four (CMYK) toners. Gradation reproducibility of dark areas improves in comparison to [On].
