Settings Menu (Common Settings)

An asterisk (*) indicates the default setting in this section.

[Number of Copies]

1 to 9999; 1*

This setting enables you to specify the number of copies printed.

[2-Sided Printing]

[On], [Off]*

This parameter enables you to select one-sided or two-sided printing. When the 2-Sided Printing mode is specified, the document is printed on both sides of the paper.

NOTE
For information on the paper available for 2-sided copying, see "User's Guide." For information on loading the paper when printing on paper with a logo (such as a cover sheet), see "User's Guide."

[Action for Jobs That Paper Type Is Not Specified for]

[Continue Job]*, [Cancel Job]

This setting sets whether to print jobs without a paper type set.

[Continue Job]

The job is printed with the paper type set in [Default Paper Type].

[Cancel Job]

The job is canceled.

NOTE
Printing may not be able to be performed correctly if you set a paper type that differs from the paper loaded in the paper source. If envelope is set as the paper size for the job, the paper type is set to [Envelope], regardless of the setting in [Default Paper Type].

[Auto Error Skip]

[On], [Off]*

This setting enables you to automatically clear an error and continue printing when an error occurs (Skip Error).

[On]

[Skip Error] is performed automatically.

[Off]

You must perform [Skip Error] from the touch panel display.

NOTE
To perform [Skip Error], select a job for which an error has occurred on the job status screen → press [Details] → [Skip Error]. [Skip Error] only temporarily clears an error, so the data may not print correctly. For information on types of errors that can be temporarily cleared with Auto Error Skip, see "User's Guide." This setting is valid even if multiple errors have occurred.

[Print After Completing RIP]

[On], [Off]*

This setting sets whether to use the Print After Completing RIP mode.

RIP (Raster Image Processor) is used for advanced graphical representation.

If Print After Completing RIP is enabled, the first page is printed after all the pages in the job have been processed.

Although it may take longer to print the first page, the remaining pages in the job will be printed more quickly. This is useful when several people are using the machine or when using another function, such as the Copy function, because the printing time for a print job is reduced.

IMPORTANT
A large print job may be automatically canceled by the machine.

[Personality]

[Auto]*, [PS], [PCL], [XPS], [Imaging], [PDF]

[PDF] is only applicable for the PDF Direct Print Printer or PS Printer. [XPS] is only applicable for the XPS Direct Print Printer.

This setting enables the machine to process data received from the host computer in the specified data format. Setting the Personality mode to [Auto] makes the machine determine the type of data received from the host on a job-by-job basis. If you are printing from applications on a computer, we recommend that you use [Auto].

NOTE
If you find that the machine does not correctly switch to the appropriate personality when you [Personality] to [Auto], change the setting manually to match the data you are sending from the host computer. This mode is not available when printing in the UFR II mode.

[Mode Priority]

[None]*, [PS], [PCL], [XPS], [PDF]

[PDF] is only applicable for the PDF Direct Print Printer or PS Printer. [XPS] is only applicable for the XPS Direct Print Printer.

This setting determines which personality should be used if a job is received without a specified command language or Direct Print data. The Mode Priority mode is used when you set [Personality] to [Auto].

None

This does not specify a preferred personality. If a job is received without a specified command language or Direct Print data, the current personality is used. The default setting is [None].

PS

This assigns priority to the PS personality.

PCL

This assigns priority to the PCL personality.

XPS

This assigns priority to the XPS mode.

PDF

This assigns priority to the PDF mode.

NOTE
This mode is not available when printing in the UFR II mode.

[Auto Select]

[PS]: [On]*,[Off]

[PCL]: [On]*,[Off]

[XPS]: [On]*,[Off]

[Imaging]: [On]*,[Off]

[PDF]: [On]*,[Off]

[PDF] is applicable for the Direct Print Printer or PS Printer. [Imaging] and [XPS] are applicable for the Direct Print Printer.

This setting enables you to specify the operation modes that can be selected automatically if [Personality] is set to [Auto]. Specify for all modes: PS, PCL, XPS, Imaging, and PDF. If you specify [On], that mode becomes available for automatic selection. If you specify [Off], that mode does not become available for automatic selection.

NOTE
If you set all the settings to [Off], all received data becomes invalid, and cannot be printed. This mode is not available when printing in the UFR II mode.

[Color Mode]

[Auto (Color/B&W)]*, [Black & White]

This settings enables you to specify whether to automatically switch between color printing or black-and-white printing, or always perform black-and-white printing.

[Auto (Color/B&W)]

The machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).

[Black & White]

Data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in color.

IMPORTANT
When color printing cannot be performed, the machine can be used with the Limited Functions Mode, which only enables black-and-white printing. When the machine switches to the Limited Functions Mode, existing jobs that are being processed are canceled. When the machine switches to the Limited Functions Mode, existing jobs that have color pages are canceled.

NOTE
If different color data is overlaid, the machine may not distinguish color from monochrome, even if [Auto (Color/B&W)] is selected. For example, although the printout looks monochrome, if different color data is overlaid, it is printed in color mode, thereby using the color toner cartridges to print, not the black toner cartridge. Furthermore, if the data is created as color data in the application you are using, it is printed in color mode, even though the data looks monochrome.

NOTE

If different color data is overlaid, the machine may not distinguish color from monochrome, even if [Auto (Color/B&W)] is selected. For example, although the printout looks monochrome, if different color data is overlaid, it is printed in color mode, thereby using the color toner cartridges to print, not the black toner cartridge. Furthermore, if the data is created as color data in the application you are using, it is printed in color mode, even though the data looks monochrome.

[Compressed Image Output]

[Output]*, [Display Error]

This setting enables you to specify how the data should be treated if the data size of the print job is too large to be stored in the machine's memory.

[Output]

The data is highly compressed (so it is able to be stored in memory), and then the job is printed. However, the print quality may diminish.

[Display Error]

The job is canceled when the data size is too large.

NOTE
Even if [Output] is selected and the data is highly compressed, the data may still be too large to be stored in the machine's memory. In this case, the job is canceled and an error is logged in the Print Log.

[Initialize]

[Yes], [No]

The menu settings can be reset to the factory defaults by initializing the printer settings.

If you select Initialize, the confirmation message <Is it OK to initialize the settings？> appears. If you select [Yes], the settings are initialized. If you select [No], the settings are not initialized.

IMPORTANT
Do not turn Off the machine while the settings are being initialized, as doing so may damage the machine's memory.
