[Printer Settings]

Specify the settings for printer operation and for processing print data.
* Values in bold red text are the default settings for each item.
 
If the control Panel and Printer Driver Have the Same Settings
Priority is given to the printer driver settings. The control panel settings are valid for operating systems such as UNIX and PCL printing where printer drivers cannot be used and when printing from mobile devices.

[Prioritize Driver Settings When Printing]

[Menu] [Function Settings] [Printer] [Printer Settings]
Specify for each paper source whether the printer driver settings are given priority over the paper size and type specified in [Paper Set.] in the [Home] screen.
If you specify [On] in this setting, the machine will print from the paper source specified by the printer driver, regardless of the paper setting on the machine.
Also, if [On] is specified here and the size of the paper loaded differs markedly from that specified in the printer driver settings, you can specify whether printing proceeds anyway or printing is stopped and an error message is displayed.
* Note that specifying [On] in this setting when the paper loaded in the machine does not match the paper specified by the printer driver could lead to paper jams or printing errors.
* Several sheets of paper may be printed even if the machine is configured to cancel printing when an error message is displayed.

Specify whether the machine substitutes A4 size paper for Letter size paper and vice-versa when printing.
Specifying [On] in this setting means that if, for example, printing on A4 size paper is specified on the computer and there is only Letter size paper loaded, the job is printed on Letter size paper instead.
* Print settings are specified in an application or printer driver, but this setting can only be specified on the control panel.
