If you want to specify the pages to print by the page number, click [Pages] →enter the page
numbers. Only the setting for the item whose radio button is selected will be effective.
Specify the settings under [Quality Settings] according to your preference.
Details of each menu are shown below.
|
[Resolution]
|
This setting specifies the resolution for printing.
Resolution is expressed in units of dpi (dots per inch), indicating the number of dots in one inch. The higher the value, the greater the resolution, allowing finer expression of detail.
If you select [600 dpi], you can perform printing suited to general documents and tables.
If you select [1200 dpi], characters and lines can be finely printed.
|
|
[Gradation]
|
This setting specifies the gradation for printing.
If you select [Standard], two-colour (1 bit/pixel) gradation is used 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.
[Err Diffusion(600dpi Only)] (Invalid at 1200 dpi) is invalid in the following cases:
[Err Diffusion(600dpi Only)] (Invalid at 1200 dpi) is not set for [text], [graphics], and [image].
[Resolution] is set to [1200 dpi].
|
|
[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 you select [Smooth 1] and the results are still not printed smoothly, select [Smooth 2].
By switching the on/off for [Graphics] and [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.
You can select [Graphics] and [Text] only if you select [Smooth 1] or [Smooth 2] for [Advanced Smoothing].
Settings for [Graphics] and [Text] on the touch panel display will be effective only if you set 'Printer Default' for 'Advanced Smoothing' in the printer driver.
If [Err Diffusion(600dpi Only)] (Invalid at 1200dpi) is set for [Halftones], this setting is invalid.

If you select [Auto-Color Select] or [Full Color], 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.
|
|
[Render Color Space]
|
This setting specifies the PDF file rendering method.
If you select [Auto], the color space setting switches between RGB and CMYK on every page.
If you select [CMYK], the color space setting is specified as CMYK. It is used if the color is different between pages when you print a job with multiple pages.
|
|
[RGB Source Profile]
|
This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (color data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor.This setting is applied when printing a document containing color images or graphics made by the RGB color 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 colors 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 you select this setting, device dependent RGB data is converted into CMYK without applying the RGB profile.
[Download Profile]
You can download the profile from iW Management Console resource management plug-in. You can store up to 100 profiles.
If you are using the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2020, depending on the region, the 2.5inch/80GB HDD is required to download a profile.
|
|
[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 color model based on the simulation target selected in [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 you select this setting, device dependent CMYK data is printed as is without applying the CMYK profile.
[Download Profile]
You can download the profile from iW Management Console resource management plug-in. You can store up to 100 profiles.
If you are using the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2020, depending on the region, the 2.5inch/80GB HDD is required to download a profile.
|
|
[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 colors closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor.
[Photo]
This setting prints colors close to photographic prints.
[Download Profile]
You can download the profile from iW Management Console resource management plug-in. You can store up to 100 profiles.
If you are using the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2020, depending on the region, the 2.5inch/80GB HDD is required to download a profile.
|
|
[Matching Method]
|
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.
|
|
[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 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.
|
|
[Black Overprint]
|
This setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text when printing black text over a color 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 color background, then lays the black text on the top of the color background as 100% K (black) toner. Overprinting also reduces misalignment of colors 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 colors used for data are overlaid and printed on one plate so you can check the finished result without separating the colors.
|
|
[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.
|
|
[Perform Gray Compensation]
|
You can set whether to print gray data using only black (K) toner. If you enable this option, black and gray data is printed using the black (K) toner only, which lessens toner bleeding.
|
Specify the settings under [Print Settings] according to your preference.

2.
Click [Direct Print] → select [XPS Files] from the menu that appears under [Direct Print].
If Department ID Management is set, a dialog box prompting you to enter the Department ID and password appears. Enter the Department ID and password → click [OK].
3.
Click [Browse] → click [Open] after selecting the file.
4.
Specify the settings for [Specify Print Range].
Select [All] to print every page.
If you want to specify the pages to print by the page number, click [Pages] → enter the page numbers. Only the setting for the item whose radio button is selected will be effective.
Specify the settings under [Quality Settings] according to your preference.
Details of each menu are shown below.
|
[Resolution]
|
This setting specifies the resolution for printing.
Resolution is expressed in units of dpi (dots per inch), indicating the number of dots in one inch. The higher the value, the greater the resolution, allowing finer expression of detail.
If you select [600 dpi], you can perform printing suited to general documents and tables.
If you select [1200 dpi], characters and lines can be finely printed.
|
|
[Gradation]
|
This setting specifies the gradation for printing.
If you select [Standard], two-colour (1 bit/pixel) gradation is used 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.
[Err Diffusion(600dpi Only)] (Invalid at 1200 dpi) is invalid in the following cases:
[Err Diffusion(600dpi Only)] (Invalid at 1200 dpi) is not set for [text], [graphics], and [image].
[Resolution] is set to [1200 dpi].
|
|
[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 you select [Smooth 1], and the results are still not printed smoothly, select [Smooth 2].
By switching the on/off for [Graphics] and [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.
You can select [Graphics] and [Text] only if you select [Smooth 1] or [Smooth 2] for [Advanced Smoothing].
Settings for [Graphics] and [Text] on the touch panel display will be effective only if you set 'Printer Default' for 'Advanced Smoothing' in the printer driver.
The results of Advanced Smoothing may differ depending on the characters and graphics patterns.
If [Err Diffusion(600dpi Only)] (Invalid at 1200 dpi) is set for [Halftones], this setting is invalid.
|
Specify the settings under [Color Settings] according to your preference.
|
[Color Mode]
|
This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.
If you select [Auto-Color Select] or [Full Color], 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.
|
|
[Render Color Space]
|
This setting specifies the XPS file rendering method.
If you select [Auto], the color space setting switches between RGB and CMYK on every page.
If you select [CMYK], the color space setting is specified as CMYK. It is used if the color is different between pages when you print a job with multiple pages.
|
|
[RGB Source Profile]
|
This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (color data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing color images or graphics made by the RGB color 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 colors 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]
You can download the profile from iW Management Console resource management plug-in. You can store up to 100 profiles.
If you are using the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2020, depending on the region, the 2.5inch/80GB HDD is required to download a profile.
|
|
[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 color 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 Coated(Canon)]
This setting uses the JapanColor(Canon) 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 you select this setting, device dependent CMYK data is printed as is without applying the CMYK profile.
[Download Profile]
You can download the profile from iW Management Console resource management plug-in. You can store up to 100 profiles.
If you are using the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2020, depending on the region, the 2.5inch/80GB HDD is required to download a profile.
|
|
[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 color closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor.
[Photo]
This setting prints colors 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 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.
|
|
[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 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.
|
|
[Black Overprint]
|
This setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text when printing black text over a color 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 color background, then lays the black text on the top of the color background as 100% K (black) toner. Overprinting also reduces misalignment of colors 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 colors used for data are overlaid and printed on one plate so you can check the finished result without separating the colors.
|
|
[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.
|
|
[Perform Gray Compensation]
|
You can set whether to print gray data using only black (K) toner. If you enable this option, black and gray data is printed using the black (K) toner only, which lessens toner bleeding.
|
|
[Perform Spot Color Matching]
|
This setting enables you to specify the optimum method of reproducing Spot colors. Using a named color profile, you can print converting to the device-independent color matching the spot color.
|
Specify the settings under [Print Settings] according to your preference.
Details of each menu are shown below.
|
[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 XPS 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 XPS file page size and the long edge of the selected paper matches.
If the XPS file page size exceeds the largest or smallest size of the user defined paper, jobs are canceled. (They are not included in the Prints count.)
|
|
[Paper Type]
|
This setting specifies the output paper type.
|
|
[Manual Feed]
|
This setting enables you to fix the paper feed source to manual feed.
|
|
[Enlarge/Reduce to Fit Paper Size]
|
If you select the checkbox, the selected page size is enlarged or reduced with the same ratio for both the length and width to print within the printable area. However this mode is not available if you select [Auto] in [Paper Size].
|
|
[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."
|
|
[Page Layout]
|
You can print multiple pages of XPS data on one page.
*If you print multiple pages, select a setting other than [Auto] in [Paper Size].
|
|
[Page Order]
|
If you print multiple pages on one page in [Page Layout] settings, you can specify the order that the pages are arranged onto the source paper.
|
|
[Finishing]*
|
This setting specifies whether to print in pages or copies.
If you select [Off], all copies of the same page are printed before the next page is printed.
If you select [Collate (Page order)], all pages of each copy are printed before the next copy is printed.
If you select [Group (Same pages)], all copies of the same page are printed before the next page is printed.
If you select [Staple+Collate], all pages of each copy (collating) are printed and stapled.
|
|
[Offset]*
|
If you select the checkbox and [Collate (Page order)] in [Finishing], all pages of each copy (collating) are printed, and every other complete copy is offset to indicate where each copy starts.
If you select the checkbox and [Group (Same pages)] in [Finishing], all copies of the same page are printed before printing the next page. Every other complete set of pages is offset to indicate where each new set starts.
|
|
[Rotate]*
|
If you select the checkbox and [Collate (Page order)] in [Finishing], all pages of each copy (collating) are printed, and rotates every other complete copy 90 degrees to indicate where each copy starts.
If you select the checkbox and [Group (Same pages)] in [Finishing], all copies of the same page are printed before printing the next page. It rotates every other complete set of pages 90 degrees to indicate where each new set starts.
|
|
[Staple Position]*
|
This setting specifies the staple position if you select [Staple+Collate] in [Finishing].
If you select [Corner], you can select one of either [Top Left], [Top Right], [Bottom Left], or [Bottom Right].
If you select [Double], you can select one of either [Left], [Right], [Top], or [Bottom].
