Priority of settings
If 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 performing PS/PCL printing and printing from UNIX or other operating system that does not support printer drivers.
<Printer Settings>
Configure settings about printing and printer operations.
<Action When Free Paper Size Mismatch>
When the paper size of each paper source is set to <Free Size> in <Paper Settings>, you can specify the operation that is to be performed when the size of the loaded paper is significantly different from the setting in the printer driver.

<RGB Source Profile> *3
Select the profile for RGB data according to the monitor you are using.
<sRGB> Sets the image quality to the industry standard for general Windows computer monitors. If the monitor supports sRGB, data can be printed in the color tones closest to the displayed colors.
<Gamma 1.5> to <Gamma 2.4> Adjusts the brightness of the print result to prevent the image quality of the brightest and darkest parts from being degraded. The greater the gamma value is, the darker the printed text or image becomes.
<None> Carries out color separation from RGB data to CMYK data without applying an RGB source profile.
<CMYK Simulation Profile> *3
Select a simulation target to print the CMYK data. The machine converts CMYK data into a device dependent CMYK color model based on the simulation.
<JapanColor(Canon)> <U.S. Web Coated v1.00(Canon)> <Euro Standard v1.00(Canon)> <None>
Even if <On> is selected, data is printed using only the K (black) toner depending on the setting of <Output Profile> or <Pure Black Text>.
<Output Profile> *3
Select the appropriate profile for the print data. This option can be specified for each image type in any one document.

Profile
<Normal> Prints data by adjusting it to the color tones closest to those displayed on the monitor.
<Photo> Prints data by adjusting it to photo-like color tones.
<TR Normal> Prints data by adjusting it to the color tones closest to those displayed on the monitor and using only the K (black) toner to reproduce black and gray elements.
<TR Photo> Prints data by adjusting it to photo-like color tones and using only the K (black) toner to reproduce black and gray elements.
The setting of this item is unavailable when one of the following settings is selected.
<RGB Source Profile> is set to <None>
<CMYK Simulation Profile> is set to <None>
<Use Grayscale Profile> is set to <Off>
<Matching Method>
Select the element to be prioritized when carrying out color matching in <RGB Source Profile>.
<Perceptual> Provides the color tone that is suitable for printing photos or bit map images.
<Saturation> Provides the color tone that is suitable for printing artworks, graphs, and other images used for presentation materials.
<Colorimetric> Set this option when you want to reproduce the RGB color value in the color reproduction range of the machine as accurately as possible.
The setting of this item is unavailable when <RGB Source Profile> is set to <None>.
<Halftones>
You can select the printing method used to reproduce halftones (the intermediate range between the lighter and darker areas of an image) for optimal image quality.
<Error Diffusion>
This mode is suitable for printing data with text and thin lines and the curved lines of CAD data, etc.
This setting is only available when <Resolution> is set to <600 dpi>.
The stability of the texture and fixed toner may be reduced when <Error Diffusion> is used.
<Resolution/Gradation> *1
Select a method used to reproduce halftones, if <Error Diffusion> is set to <Off>. This option can be specified for each image type in any one document.

<Resolution> Produces a fine print with clear edges of text. It is suitable for printing characters and fine lines.
<Gradation> Produces a print with smooth gradation or smooth edges. It is suitable for printing figures or graphs containing gradation areas.
<Brightness> *1
Adjust the brightness of the entire image in increments of 5%. The lower the setting value is, the brighter the image or text becomes. The greater the setting value is, the darker the image or text becomes.
<General> Performs processing so that the color tone is suitable for printing general papers such as photos or documents.
<Perceptual> Performs processing so that the color tone is suitable for printing bitmap images. When this item is selected, an image is printed in the colors closest to those displayed on the monitor.
<Colorimetric> Minimizes a color variance that occurs when RGB data is converted to CMYK data.
<Vivid Photo> Performs processing so that the color tone is deeper and more vivid than <General>.
