<Common>

This section describes settings for functions such as Paper Feed Settings, Paper Output Settings, Print Settings, Scan Settings, and Generate File.


Some of the settings may not be displayed depending on the configuration of optional equipment installed on the machine.

<Paper Source Auto Selection>

You can configure the paper source that will be used when copying/printing with <Select Paper> set to <Auto>. This setting also functions when the paper in the current paper source runs out during copying/printing. Automatically Selecting the Appropriate Paper Source for a Specific Function

<Switch Paper Feed Method>

When regularly using paper with logos such as letterheads, while printing in both one-sided and two-sided, you can set this setting to <Print Side Priority> to print the first page on the front side for both one-sided and two-sided, without having to change the paper orientation. Loading Preprinted Paper


The settings for Automatic Paper Selection and Auto Drawer Switching are disabled for paper sources with <Print Side Priority> set. The print speed is also slower when performing one-sided printing.


<Print Side Priority> is only enabled when paper that can be printed on both sides is set (Paper Available for Two-Sided Copying/Two-Sided Printing). For other paper, the message <Load paper.> appears and the paper is not fed, or the <Print Side Priority> setting is disabled. For instructions on loading paper, see Loading Preprinted Paper.

<Suspended Job Timeout>

If this setting is set to <On> and a job is suspended due to a lack of paper, etc., the machine automatically prints the next job after the specified time period.


If a job is suspended because paper has run out during the job, the next job is not processed even after the designated suspension time elapses. To automatically delete suspended jobs, see <Auto Delete Suspended Jobs>.

<Output Tray Settings>

You can set the tray to output to for each function.


If a certain tray reaches its stacking limit, the machine automatically uses another tray that is designated for the same function. However, it is recommended that you only designate one tray for fax/I-fax documents to prevent them from getting lost.


Select <Other> when printing reports. The priority order of the output destinations is determined by the order of the selected output trays. The priority is displayed as "1" and "2." Paper sizes which can be output to each output tray differ depending on optional equipment attached to the machine, such as the finisher, etc. For more information, see Optional Equipment. When an output tray that does not support the Offset mode is selected in the output tray setting, the copies will not be output to the output tray according to the specified settings if <Offset> is enabled. Perform one of the procedures below to solve this problem. Disable <Offset at Same Time> in the auto collate settings. <Auto Collate> Specify an output tray that supports the Offset mode in the output tray settings. Manually disable <Collate> before executing the job.

<Offset Jobs>

This enables you to shift the output for each job when multiple jobs are printed consecutively.

<Job Separator Between Jobs>

This enables you to insert the specified paper at the start of each job when multiple jobs are printed consecutively.

<Job Separator Between Copies>

This enables you to insert the specified paper each number of copy sets to divide the sets. If you set this, paper is inserted when printing with Collate (Page Order), Offset, or Staple.


You cannot insert job separation sheets between copy sets in the following cases: If you are using the Group

<Action When Too Many Sheets to Staple>

You can specify the procedure to perform when there are too many sheets to staple.


For information on printing using stapling, see Finishing with the Stapler.

<Enable Offset for Single-Sheet Print Jobs>

If this is set to <On>, you can set the Offset mode to shift the output when printing single page jobs other than copy jobs. This is useful when you want to separate a single page job from another when printing multiple jobs.

<Print Priority>

A job that has a higher set priority can be set to print after the job currently being processed is complete.


If the same printing priority has been specified for multiple functions, printing starts with the first processed print job. Priority printing does not take place until the current job is complete. However, if the current job is paused, the printing of another job may start, depending on its settings.

<2-Sided Printing>

You can specify the 2-Sided Printing for printing reports such as Send TX Report and Communication Management Report.

<Auto Delete Suspended Jobs>

If this setting is set to <On> and a job is suspended due to a paper jam, etc., the machine automatically deletes the job after the specified time period.


To retain a suspended job without automatically deleting it, see <Suspended Job Timeout>.

<Feeder Jam Recovery Method>

You can select whether scanning will start again from the first page of the original or the page of the original in which scanning was interrupted if a paper jam occurs in the feeder.


Direct sending of faxes does not support this setting. If a paper jam occurs while performing direct sending, the job will be canceled. In this case, set the job again. Depending on the location of a paper jam, it can be difficult to determine whether document scanning has been completed. If you have set <From Suspnd. Original> for <Feeder Jam Recovery Method> and you do not find until which page the document has been scanned, it is recommended that you cancel the job, and then execute it again.

<Image Quality Level for Compact>

If you select PDF/XPS (Compact) as the file format when using <Scan and Send> or <Scan and Store>, you can set the image quality level of the document.


This setting is disabled when sending a fax or I-fax.


If you scan an original with many colors when <Text> is selected for the original type, the data size and image quality will vary following compression, according to the selected image level. However, if the original is in monochrome or has few colors, it does not matter which image level you select.

<OCR (Text Searchable) Settings>

If you select <OCR (Text Searchable)> for <PDF>, <XPS>, or <OOXML> as the file format, you can set the Smart Scan setting, and set the number of characters used for the Auto (OCR) in File Name. Smart Scan is a mode that determines the text direction and rotates the data, so that the document will be in the correct orientation when viewing the document on a computer. Auto (OCR) in File Name is a mode that automatically uses the first text scanned by OCR in the document as its file name. Auto (OCR) in File Name is specified in <File Name> in <Options> on the Scan and Send screen. Setting a File Name


You cannot use the Auto (OCR) in File Name mode and the Encrypted PDF mode at the same time when sending a file.

<Trace & Smooth Settings>

You can change the recognition rate of line drawings of the original when creating a file with outline graphics.


If you increase the value in <Graphics Recognition Level>, the data size also increases. It is recommended that you first use <Normal>, and if desirable results are not obtained, try increasing the recognition level to <Moderate> or <High>. This setting is disabled when sending a fax or I-fax.

<OOXML Settings>

You can specify the background image level, color image recognition level, and color image line width recognition when creating files with Office Open XML file format.


This setting is disabled when sending a fax or I-fax. Color image settings are only valid with PowerPoint.
