Printing from USB Memory (USB Print)

You can print image files stored in a USB memory device by connecting it directly to the machine. Using this function, you can print without using a computer.


To print a PDF file from USB memory, the PS Print Kit or USB Direct Print Kit (for PDF) must be enabled.

Available File Formats

You can print the following types of image files.

JPEG (DCF/Exif 2.21 or earlier/JFIF)

TIFF (JPEG/MH/MR/MMR compression)

PDF


Maximum printable data size per file* is 50 MB. * For multi-page TIFF files, maximum data size is per page. Note that even some files smaller than the size described above may not be printed correctly.

Available USB Memory Devices

You can use USB memory devices with the following format styles.

FAT16 (memory capacity: up to 2 GB)

FAT32 (memory capacity: up to 32 GB)


Do not use non-standard USB memory devices. You may not be able to print the images properly in some USB memory devices. Do not connect anything other than a USB memory device. USB memory devices cannot be connected via a USB hub or an extension cable. Do not use USB memory devices with special functions such as built-in security functions.


The USB memory port of the machine supports USB 2.0. If a folder in a USB memory device has many files, scanning image files to print will take more time. Use your computer to delete unnecessary files on your USB memory device or move them to a different folder.

Connect a USB memory device to the USB memory port.

Do not remove the USB memory device or shock or shake the device or the machine when data is being read or written. Also, do not turn OFF the machine while the processing is in progress.

This setting enlarges or reduces the original document to match the printable area of the paper size.

<On>

The document is reduced to a page size that fits the paper size if the page size specified in the PDF file is larger than the printable area of the paper size. Conversely, the original document is enlarged to a page size that fills the paper size if the page size specified in the PDF file is smaller than the printable area of the paper size.

If you specify [Auto] in [Paper Size] using the Remote UI, this setting is not applied.

The PDF file page size is enlarged or reduced with the same ratio for both the length and width.

<Enlarge/Reduce to Fit Ppr. Size> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

This setting specifies whether to enlarge the printable area on the paper.

<Off>

The area 1/5" (4 mm) from the top, bottom, left and right edges of the paper is not printable.

<On>

The printable area is enlarged to the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the paper.

If you select <On>, images on the edge of the paper may not print properly.

<Enlarge Print Area> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

This setting specifies whether to print annotations in the PDF file.

<Off>

No annotations are printed.

<Auto>

Only the annotations specified for printing in the PDF file are printed.

<Print Comments> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

You can print password protected PDF files by entering the password required to open them.

<Password to Open Document> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

<Other>

You can set how to express color 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.
For example, using a pattern that sharpens character and line edges, or a pattern that smoothens image and graph gradation, enables you to obtain the most suitable texture.

<Gradation>

You can print with both smooth gradation and outlines, which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.

<Resolution>

You can print text with distinct outlines, which is best to print text and thin lines.

<Error Diffusion>

If you set to <On>, <Text>, <Graphics>, and <Image> are all set to <Error Diffusion>. <Resolution> and <Gradation> cannot be selected.

This setting affects the printout for black (R=G=B=0% or C=M=Y=100%/Bk=N% or C=M=Y=0%/Bk=100%) text on a page. Under most circumstances it is preferable to leave this option set to <On>.

<Off>

The black text is printed using CMYK toners based on the selected Output Profile setting. For some jobs, it is preferable to turn this option <Off>.

<On>

Black colors generated by applications are printed using only 100% black toner. This means that the color toner will not be misaligned since only one toner color (black) is used.

<Pure Black Text> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

This setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text when printing black text over a color background or graphics.

<Off>

Black text is printed with knockouts. The machine first prints the color background with the black text areas "knocked out" (no color is printed in the text areas). The black text is then printed in the knocked out area, filling in the areas not printed in color. This may result in the black text appearing lighter, or cause a halo effect that can appear around the edge of the text.

<On>

If the document contains black text on a color background, "knocking out" (no color printed in the text areas) is not performed, which reduces the halo effect, a white border around the edge of the text.

<Black Overprint> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor.
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 colors close to how they appear on your monitor.

<Gamma 1.5>, <Gamma 1.8>, and<Gamma 2.4>

Black colors generated by applications are printed using only 100% black toner. This means that the color toner will not be misaligned since only one toner color (black) is used.

<None>

When this setting is selected, device dependent RGB data is converted into CMYK without applying the RGB profile.

If the machine receives data with a device independent (CIE based) color space definition, it is color processed with the specified settings. Therefore, <RGB Source Profile> is not applied by the machine.

You can also download the profile from iW Management Console.

Device independent colors are not dependent on any particular device, such as a monitor, and are meant to be true representations of colors as perceived by the human eye. These color representations, called device independent color spaces, result from work carried out by the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) and for that reason are also called CIE based color spaces.

If a profile with the name of "None" is downloaded to the machine, the profile is not applied and the <None> setting on the menu is applied.

<RGB Source Profile> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

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 color 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.

<U.S. Web Coated v1.00(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 v1.00(Canon)>

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.

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.

You can also download the profile from iW Management Console.

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

If a profile with the name of "None" is downloaded to the machine, the profile is not applied and the <None> setting on the menu is applied.

<CMYK Simulation Profile> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

This setting allows you to define how device dependent gray data is processed.

<Off>

Device dependent gray data is reproduced using black (K) toner only.

<On>

Device dependent gray data is converted into CMYK data using the "Grayscale Profile" of the machine. The data may be reproduced using only the black (K) toner, depending upon the <Pure Black Text> process or <Output Profile>.

<Use Grayscale Profile> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

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 colors closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor.

<Photo>

This setting prints colors close to photographic prints.

<TR Normal>

This setting prints the colors closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor, and also reduces toner bleeding of text and fine lines.

<TR Photo>

This setting prints colors close to photographic prints, and also reduces toner bleeding of text and fine lines.

You can also download the profile from iW Management Console.

If a profile with the name of "None" is downloaded to the machine, the profile is not applied and the <None> setting on the menu is applied.

If <None> is selected for the <RGB Source Profile> or <CMYK Simulation Profile>, or if <Off> is selected for <Use Grayscale Profile>, an Output Profile setting is not applied to device dependent color data.

<Output Profile> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

This setting allows you to specify a method of printing when the <RGB Source Profile> is applied. This machine includes a color management system that provides the following color 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 color value of the machine's printing range.

Selecting <Normal> or <TR Normal> in the <Output Profile> and <Perceptual> in the <Matching Method> is equivalent to setting [Matching Method] to [Perceptual [Monitor Color Matched]] in the printer driver.

Selecting <Photo> or <TR Photo> in the <Output Profile> and <Perceptual> in the <Matching Method> is equivalent to setting [Matching Method] to [Perceptual [Photographic]] in the printer driver.

Selecting <Photo> or <TR Normal> in the <Output Profile> and <Saturation> in the <Matching Method> is equivalent to setting [Matching Method] to [Vivid Photo] in the printer driver.

If <None> is selected for the <RGB Source Profile> or <CMYK Simulation Profile>, and the machine receives a device dependent color space definition that is color processed by the host computer, a Matching Method setting is not applied.

<Matching Method> is not available for printing JPEG/TIFF files.

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.

<Off>

Black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B is printed using CMYK toners based on the selected <Output Profile> setting.

<On>

Black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B is printed using the black (K) toner only, regardless of the selected <Output Profile> setting.

If you can see gradations or jagged lines in the printouts of black or gray data, select <Off> in RGB Pure Black Process and select <Photo> for <Output Profile>.

In combination with certain settings, black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B may be printed using the black (K) toner only, even if <Off> is selected. The following are examples.

When <On> is selected for <Pure Black Text>

When <None> is selected for <RGB Source Profile>
