Printer Settings
 |
|
All the settings about the printer are listed with short descriptions. Default settings are marked with a dagger (
 ). |
 |
Priority of settingsSettings that are specified in an application or on the printer driver will override those specified on the machine. The settings described in this section are especially useful if you are printing on an operating system such as UNIX on which the printer drivers for the machine are not available.
Availability of settingsAll the printer settings described in this section, except for <Paper Size Override> (Paper Size Override), are only available for PCL printing. Specifying these settings is unnecessary, for example, when you print using the UFRII printer driver.

You may not be able to use all the profiles that are available. If color data is printed in gray using a downloaded profile, check the downloaded profile for compatibility.
If the machine receives data with a device independent (CIE based) color space definition, it is color processed with the specified settings. Therefore <CMYK Simulation Profile> is not applied by the machine.
When a setting other than <None> is selected, and the machine receives a device dependent color space definition that is color processed by the host computer, <CMYK Simulation Profile> is also applied by the machine.

When <None> is selected, areas of dark color may be blotchy depending on the data.
