Print Quality

Specify the print quality such as toner density and toner consumption.
Density
Specify the print density. As the value gets bigger, the density becomes darker.
NOTE
The settings specified for <Density> are disabled when <Toner Save> is enabled.
Density

Layout *1

Specify the page layout settings such as binding position and margin values.
Binding Location
Select the binding position of the paper (along the long edge or the short edge). For 2-sided printing, image orientation is automatically arranged to produce the correct layout. in the illustrations below represent margins.
When the binding position is on the long edge of the paper:
When the binding position is on the short edge of the paper:
Long Edge
Short Edge
NOTE
You cannot create a binding margin with this setting alone. Use this setting in combination with the <Gutter> setting to set the binding margin for the selected binding position.
Gutter
Specify the binding margin to apply to the binding position selected in the <Binding Location> setting.
-1.90 to ±0 to +1.90 (inches) or -50.0 to ±0 to +50.0 (mm)
IMPORTANT
If this setting moves any of the print data outside the printable area, the portion outside the printable area will not be printed.
Offset Short Edge (Front)
Specify the print position by setting the offset value for the short edge on the front side of the paper. Increasing the value moves the print position to the right. Decreasing the value moves the print position to the left.
-2.00 to ±0 to +2.00 (inches) or -50.0 to ±0 to +50.0 (mm)
IMPORTANT
If this setting moves any of the print data outside the printable area, the portion outside the printable area will not be printed.
NOTE
You can specify this setting in combination with the <Offset Long Edge (Front)>, <Offset Short Edge (Back)>, and <Offset Long Edge (Back)>. By specifying all four settings, for example, the print position is shifted as shown in the illustration below.
If the offset settings are specified in combination with the <Gutter> setting, the specified values are added together.
Offset Long Edge (Front)
Specify the print position by setting the offset value for the long edge on the front side of the paper. Increasing the value moves the print position downward. Decreasing the value moves the print position upward.
-2.00 to ±0 to +2.00 (inches) or -50.0 to ±0 to +50.0 (mm)
IMPORTANT
If this setting moves any of the print data outside the printable area, the portion outside the printable area will not be printed.
Offset Short Edge (Back)
Specify the print position by setting the offset value for the short edge on the back side of the paper. Increasing the value moves the print position to the right. Decreasing the value moves the print position to the left.
-2.00 to ±0 to +2.00 (inches) or -50.0 to ±0 to +50.0 (mm)
IMPORTANT
If this setting moves any of the print data outside the printable area, the portion outside the printable area will not be printed.
Offset Long Edge (Back)
Specify the print position by setting the offset value for the long edge on the back side of the paper. Increasing the value moves the print position downward. Decreasing the value moves the print position upward.
-2.00 to ±0 to +2.00 (inches) or -50.0 to ±0 to +50.0 (mm)
IMPORTANT
If this setting moves any of the print data outside the printable area, the portion outside the printable area will not be printed.

Auto Error Skip  *1

Select whether to automatically perform error skip to bypass errors and continue printing when an error occurs with the print data. If <Off> is selected, you can perform error skip by using the operation panel.
Off
On
NOTE
Error skip bypasses errors in print data, so the document may not be printed correctly.
You can manually perform error skip.
Press  (Status Monitor)  <Copy/Print Job>    <Job Status>    select the document containing errors  <Skip Error>  .

Timeout *1

Set the time period after which the machine deletes incomplete print data from memory. The machine deletes incomplete print data because it may have some errors and prevent the machine from printing the next document.
5 to 15 to 300 (sec.)
NOTE
Provide the machine with enough time to receive all the print data from the computer, especially when printing large amounts of data. If you specify a time period that is too short, the machine may not receive all the print data in time for printing.

Personality *2

Select a page description language according to print data or the printer driver. If you select <Auto>, the machine automatically detects the data. Select <PS> or <PCL> if the desired language is not detected with <Auto>.

4.00 to 12.00 to 999.75 (point)
Pitch
Set the font pitch, or cpi (characters per inch), adjustable in 0.01 increments. You can specify this setting only when a fixed-pitch scalable font or a bitmap font is selected in <Font Number>.
0.44 to 10.00 to 99.99 (cpi)
Form Lines
Set the number of lines printed on one page from 5 to 128. This setting is automatically changed according to the settings specified in <Default Paper Size> and <Orientation>.
5 to 64 to 128 (lines)
