Details of each menu are shown below.
|
[Color Mode]
|
This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.
If you select [Auto-Color Select], the machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
If you select [Black], data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in color.
|
|
[No. of Copies]
|
This setting enables you to specify the number of copies printed.
|
|
[Paper Size]
|
This setting specifies the output paper size.
If you select [Auto], the most appropriate paper source is selected according to the PDF file page size.
If you select a setting other than [Auto], the file is printed so that the orientation of the long edge of the PDF file page size and the long edge of the selected paper matches.
If the PDF file page size exceeds the largest or smallest size of the user defined paper, jobs are cancelled. (They are not included in the Prints count.)
|
|
[Paper Type]
|
This setting specifies the output paper type.
|
|
[Image Orientation]
|
This setting specifies whether to print an image vertically or horizontally.
If you select [Auto], orientation is automatically adjusted by comparing length and width of the image. If the width is greater, the image is printed horizontally. If the length is greater, the image is printed vertically.
If you select [Vertical], the image is printed vertically regardless of its dimensions.
If you select [Horizontal], the image is printed horizontally regardless of its dimensions.
|
|
[Print Position]
|
This setting specifies the print position for the image.
If you select [Auto], the image is printed in the specified position of the paper if the print position for the image is specified. If the print position is not specified, the image is printed in the centre of the paper.
If you select [Center], the image is printed in the centre of the paper regardless of whether the print position of the image is specified.
If you select [Top Left], the image is printed in the top left of the paper regardless of whether the print position of the image is specified.
|
|
[Zoom]
|
This setting enlarges or reduces the size of an image to match the printable area of the paper size specified.
If you select [Auto], the size of the image is automatically enlarged or reduced to match the printable area of the specified paper size. If the size of the image is larger than the printable area, it is automatically reduced. If the size of the image is smaller than the printable area, it is automatically enlarged.
|
|
[Enlarge Print Area]
|
This setting specifies whether to enlarge the printable area to the edge of the paper.
|
|
[2-Sided Printing]
|
This setting specifies whether to print on one-side or both sides of the paper.
|
|
[Binding Location]
|
This setting specifies whether to place the binding position along the long edge or the short edge of the paper. If the margin is specified on the touch panel display, the binding margin position is automatically adjusted on the front and back sides of the paper.
For more information, see "Gutter."
|
|
[Gradation]
|
This setting specifies the gradation 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.
|
|
[Show Warnings]
|
This setting specifies the action to be taken if an error associated with printing an image occurs on the machine.
If you select [On], an error message is displayed.
If you select [Off], an error message is not displayed.
|
|
[Halftones]
|
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.
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.
|
|
[Photo Optimizer PRO]
|
You can adjust the contrast, colour balance, saturation, and balance for images.
If you select [On], Photo Optimizer PRO is performed on the image.
If you select [Off], the machine will not perform Photo Optimizer PRO.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
If you set the colour mode to [Black and White], 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 settings for each type of data: [Red-Eye Correction] and [Red-Eye Correction Level].
If you select [On], red-eye correction is performed on the image.
If you select [Off], red-eye correction is not performed.
If you select [Weak], correction level is small.
If you select [Standard], correction level is between [Weak] and [Strong].
If you select [Strong], correction level is big.
|
|
[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 settings for each type of data: [Face Brightener] and [Face Brightener Level].
If you select [On], Face Brightener is performed on the image.
If you select [Off], Face Brightener is not performed.
If you select [Weak], correction level is small.
If you select [Standard], correction level is between [Weak] and [Strong].
If you select [Strong], correction level is big.

[Grayscale Conversion]
|
You can select ways to convert colour values to a grayscale value when you print color print data.
[sRGB]
lets you to calculate the grayscale value by the colour conversion method based on sRGB.
[NTSC]
lets you 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 section describes the settings to convert the colour data into grayscale data.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
If you set the colour mode to [Auto Detect] or [Full Color], this setting is invalid.
|
|
[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.
This setting is only applied if you set [CMS (Matching)/Gamma] to [CMS].
|
|
[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 [CMYK Simulation Profile].
[JapanColor(Canon)]
This setting uses the JapanColor(Canon profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Japan.
[US Web Ctd(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.
When you select [None], areas of dark colour may be blotchy depending on the data.
|
|
[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.
[Normal]
This setting prints the colours closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor.
[Photo]
This setting prints colours close to photographic prints.
This setting is only applied if you set [CMS (Matching)/Gamma] to [CMS].
This section describes the settings to convert the colour data into grayscale data.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
