[PDF] Settings

Settings on this menu specify how to print PDF files that are sent directly to the machine using the Remote UI or command prompt.

[On], [Off]*

This setting specifies whether to output a blank page when there is no data to print on the page.

A blank page is not output, thus saving paper.

A blank page is output.

[On], [Off]*

This setting enlarges or reduces the original document to match the printable area of the paper size.

The document is reduced to a page size that fits the paper size if the page size specified in the PDF file is larger than the printable area of the paper size. Conversely, the original document is enlarged to a page size that fills the paper size if the page size specified in the PDF file is smaller than the printable area of the paper size.

[On], [Off]*

This setting specifies whether to enlarge the printable area on the paper.

The printable area is enlarged to the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the paper.

The area 4 mm from the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the paper is not printable.

[Off]*, [2 on 1], [4 on 1], [6 on 1], [8 on 1], [9 on 1], [16 on 1]

You can print several pages of PDF file data on 1 sheet of paper. Multiple pages are printed from (top) left to right.

Example: If 'Vertical' is specified in the PDF file Page Setup.

[Off], [Auto]*

This setting specifies whether to print annotations in the PDF file.

No annotations are printed.

Only the annotations specified for printing in the PDF file are printed.

[On]*, [On (Slim)], [Off]

This setting determines whether to perform the process for unifying the thickness of fine lines.

[Text]: [Resolution]*, [Gradation], [Error Diffusion]

[Graphics]: [Resolution], [Gradation]*, [Error Diffusion]

[Image]: [Resolution], [Gradation]*, [Error Diffusion]

This setting specifies how to express halftones.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.

A dither pattern that gives priority to the resolution of the images is used. This helps eliminate the appearance of jagged or uneven lines along the edges of objects and is best for printing standard text and graphics.

A dither pattern that gives priority to the appearance of smooth changes in tone is used. This is best for reproducing images with delicate gradations or changes of tone.

This mode is suitable for printing data with text and thin lines and the curved lines of CAD data, etc.

[Text]: [Resolution]*, [Gradation], [High Resolution]

[Graphics]: [Resolution]*, [Gradation], [High Resolution]

[Image]: [Resolution]*, [Gradation], [High Resolution]

A dither pattern that gives priority to the appearance of smooth changes in tone is used. This is best for reproducing images with delicate gradations or changes of tone.

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.

[sRGB], [NTSC]*, [Uniform RGB]

You can select ways to convert color values to a grayscale value when you print color print data.

Lets you to calculate the grayscale value by the color conversion method based on sRGB.

Lets you to calculate the grayscale value by the color conversion method based on NTSC.

Counts the average value of the Red, Green, and Blue values as the grayscale value.

[-10%], [-5%], [Standard]*, [5%], [10%]

You can adjust dotted areas to change darkness and lightness of painted areas. A higher number specifies a darker printed area.
