(1)	Click [Browse...], select the file, and then click [Open...].
(2)	Clear the [Prioritize Print Ticket] check box.
	If the [Prioritize Print Ticket] check box is selected, some items cannot be set via the Remote UI. To use all the print settings made via the Remote UI, clear the [Prioritize Print Ticket] check box.

Specify the setting for [Specify Print Range].

[All]	Select if you want to print all the pages.
[Pages]	Select [Pages], and then enter the starting page number and ending page number if you want to specify the print range.

Specify the settings for [Quality Settings] as the following, as needed.

[Gradation]

Specify the gradation process for printing the data. It is effective to set [High 1] when printing photographs at standard quality, and to set [High 2] when printing at a higher quality.

Specify the settings for [Halftones] as the following, as needed.

[Halftones]

Specify the halftone display method when printing.

When [Error Diffusion] is selected, it is possible to print at a higher resolution than [Resolution], but texture stability is slightly inferior. It is suitable for printing data containing text and fine lines and data such as CAD data that is printed with sharp edges.

When [Error Diffusion] is not selected, it is possible to select the halftone display method from [Resolution] or [Gradation] for [Text], [Graphics] or [Image].

[Resolution]	You can print in fine detail so that the edges of text data can be seen clearly. It is suitable for printing data containing text and fine lines.
[Gradation]	You can perform printing that combines smooth gradation with edge quality. It is suitable for printing graphics or graphs that use gradation.

Specify the settings for [Advanced Smoothing] as the following, as needed.

[Advanced Smoothing]

Specify whether to use the smoothing process to smooth the edges of graphics (illustrations created in other applications) or text. [Smooth 2] is better than [Smooth 1] for performing a smoothing process that provides more smoothing. First, set it to [Smooth 1], and if the data is still not smooth, set it to [Smooth 2].

In addition, by selecting [Graphics] and [Text], you can select what to smooth.

This item specifies the smoothing process for graphics data and text data. Image data cannot be specified.

[Graphics] and [Text] settings on the printer console are suitable only when [Advanced Smoothing] on the printer driver is set to [Printer Default].

The effects of advanced smoothing differ depending on the pattern of the text or the graphics.

Specify the settings for [Color Settings] as the following, as needed.

[Color Mode]

Specify color printing or B&W printing.

[Auto (Color/Black and White)]:	It automatically switches between color and black and white printing depending on the type of document.
[Black and White]:	Even color documents are printed in black (Bk) only.
[Color]:	It prints in 4 colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (Bk).

[Matching Mode]

It sets which color matching method to apply for each piece of text, diagram or image that make up a print job, or for every color space such as RGB or CMYK. You can select whether to use methods such as ICC profile and gamma for processing. The items that can be set depend on the PDL type.

[ICC Profile]:	You can select a matching method, which is an adjustment method for bridging the difference in input and output color space width between the input profile that depends on the color space of the input data, and the output file that defines the device-dependent color space.
[Gamma]:	You can select a gamma correction value selection for adjusting the brightness in relation to the median color (color value with the maximum and minimum values taken away) of the entered data.

[RGB Source Profile]

You can select an RGB profile that is suitable for the features of the monitor that you are using. Set it when printing images drawn with an RGB color model or documents that contain images.

You can set it for these data types: [Text], [Graphics] or [Image].

[sRGB v3.0 (Canon)]:	It can be set to general Windows computer monitor profiles defined by industry standards. When using monitors that support RGB, you can print colors close to the colors displayed on the monitor.
[Canon HDTV gamma 1.5 Monitor]: [Canon HDTV gamma 1.8 Monitor]: [Canon HDTV gamma 2.4 Monitor]:	You can adjust the gamma correction level of RGB data. The higher the value, the darker the printing.

[Output Profile]

You can define suitable profiles for data that you are trying to print.

You can set it for these data types: [Text], [Graphics] or [Image].

[Normal]:	It matches with colors close to the colors displayed on the monitor, and prints.
[Photo]:	It matches with colors similar to photographs, and prints.

[Matching Method]

Specify the printing method when [RGB Source Profile] is applied. You can select color rendering style on the machine, as shown below.

You can set it for these data types: [Text], [Graphics] or [Image].

[Perceptual]:	It provides colors suitable for printing photos and bitmap images.
[Saturation]:	It provides colors suitable for printing artwork and graphs for use in presentations.
[Colorimetric]:	It reproduces as accurately as possible the RGB color values that are within the machine's color gamut.

[Gamma Correction]

It adjusts the brightness of the printed result so that the brightest and darkest parts of the document are not lost. Set it when the print result is brighter than the original (such as a photograph prior to being scanned or a graphic created on a monitor) or when you want to change the brightness of the output. The larger the setting value, the darker it is printed. [1.4] shows no correction

You can set it for these data types: [Text], [Graphics] or [Image].

[Photo Optimizer PRO]

Correct the contrast, color balance, saturation and gradation of photos and illustrations to your preference.

The setting for this item becomes invalid for B&W data.

If [Color Mode] is set as [Black and White], the setting for this item becomes invalid.

[Red-Eye Correction]

It detects and corrects red eye caused by flash or strobe light when shooting. Also, if only half of a face shows up in a photo, it can be corrected.

The setting for this item becomes invalid for B&W data.

If [Color Mode] is set as [Black and White], the setting for this item becomes invalid.

You can set the amount of [Red-eye Correction Level] correction.

[Weak]	The amount of correction can be set a little smaller.
[Standard]	The amount of correction can be set in the middle between weaker and stronger.
[Strong]	The amount of correction can be set a little larger.

[Face Brightener]

It can correct photographs in which people's faces are dark due to insufficient backlighting or underexposure so that the entire image is brightened and the people's faces are the preferred brightness.

It can only correct images which are at least 100 pixels both horizontally and vertically.

The setting for this item becomes invalid for B&W data.

If [Color Mode] is set as [Black and White], the setting for this item becomes invalid.
