Printer Settings
 |
|
All the settings about the printer are listed with short descriptions. Default settings are marked with a dagger (
 ). |
 |
Asterisks (*)Settings marked with an asterisk (*) are only available when the optional paper feeder (drawer 2) is attached.
Priority of settingsIf a print setting is specified both from the printer driver and the operation panel of the machine, the specification from the printer driver overrides that from the operation panel. The specification from the operation panel becomes effective in some specific cases, such as when printing from UNIX or other operating system that does not support printer drivers.
 |
Prioritize Driver Settings When Printing
Select whether printing is performed in accordance with the printer driver's settings for paper size and type taking priority over the settings made for each paper source under <Paper Settings> in the Home screen. By selecting <On>, you can print from the paper source specified in the printer driver, regardless of the paper settings on the machine. An error message can be set to display if the loaded paper size is largely different from that set in the printer driver.
