Setting the Main Unit (PS/PCL/UFR II Printer)

This category describes how to use the PS/PCL/UFR II printer drivers.



Printing Flow With This Machine


Printing With a Printer Driver

Normally, the series of operations involved in printing data from a computer is specified by control commands generated using a printer driver. Control commands are a command system for controlling a printer. For example, when printing using a printer driver, control commands print data according to the following flow.


<1> Using a printer driver, data to be printed is converted to control commands.
<2> Control command data is sent to the machine.
<3> Following the received control commands, the machine processes and prints the data.

Remark

This machine supports the following three kinds of control commands:

  • UFR II Mode

UFR (Ultra Fast Rendering) is printing technology developed by Canon. High-speed printing is made possible by sharing the processing of print data normally done by the machine with the computer.

  • PCL Mode (PCL or PS Printer only)

PCL (Print Control Language), developed by Hewlett-Packard, is a command system for controlling page printers. Command versions supported by this machine are PCL5e and PCL6.

  • PostScript Emulation Mode (PS Printer only)

PS (PostScript), developed by Adobe, is a command system for controlling page printers. This mode emulates the operation of a printer in conformance with PostScript. The command version supported by this machine is PostScript emulation 3.

  • To print in the above printer modes, a Printer Driver supported by this machine must be installed.


Printing With Direct Print

Printing with Direct Print can also be done with this machine. Direct Print is a print function that enables you to send PS/EPS, TIFF/JPEG, and PDF format files without using a printer driver from the computer to the machine, which recognizes the file. Therefore, you can print without the need to open files.

You can specify PS/EPS, TIFF/JPEG, and PDF files to be printed from a Remote UI. You can print a PDF file by specifying the location on your computer or URL from the Remote UI.

You can also use the Direct Print function by entering a command (LPR command) in the command prompt.

Differences in Operation with UFR II, PCL, PS, and Direct Print Printers

This describes differences in the settings that can be specified as a minimum from the touch panel display in each printer type.


Remark
  • An asterisk (*) indicates settings which are not specifiable with the printer driver or a Remote UI that can be specified from the touch panel display.



Personality

The machine can distinguish between computer-sent control commands and Direct Print data and automatically switch personalities. However, in instances such as where received control commands are exclusively defined or the machine does not automatically switch to the appropriate personality, please set the Personality to match received data. The machine enables you to switch the personality and set specifications for printing using the menu functions on the touch panel display. (See "Personality.")



Menu Functions

This section describes the menu functions and how to access them with the touch panel display.



What Are Menu Functions?


Specifying the Menu Settings

The machine lets you specify settings, such as the number of copies and the paper size, to use when it receives a print job. These types of settings can be specified by the application sending the print job, or by the printer driver.

You can specify many settings which affect the printer function of the machine. These include some settings that cannot be specified remotely from an application or from the printer driver. These settings are referred to as "Menu Functions."

The menu functions are grouped together according to the type of settings, which makes them easy to set.

There are two ways you can specify the menu functions.

  • Specifying the settings on the touch panel display:
    Display the Printer Settings screen on the touch panel display and specify the settings by pressing the keys on it.
  • Specifying the settings on the Remote UI:
    You can specify some settings from your computer using your web browser.

Remark
  • This category only explains how to specify the menu settings on the touch panel display. For instructions on specifying the menu settings on the Remote UI, please refer to "Remote UI."
  • The contents of the Printer Settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the machine. This means that the settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched OFF, and therefore the settings will still be available when the power is switched ON again.


Settings Priorities

When the same menu function setting can be specified by using the keys on the machine or by specifying the setting in an application or the printer driver, the setting from the application or printer driver has priority. These settings will override the settings made on the machine.

For settings available only on the touch panel display or Remote UI, the most recently specified settings take priority.

The printer driver is included on the CD-ROM provided with the machine. For instructions on installing the printer driver, see (See Chapter 10, "Before Printing from Computers," in Getting Started.)



Menus for Printer Settings

Printer Settings are configured with the menus below.

  • Printer Settings

Enables you to specify or change settings for printing from the machine.
The following menus are included within the Printer Settings menu.

  • Settings Menu
    Enables you to specify or change settings common to all printer functions.
  • UFR II/PCL/PS Settings Menus
    Enables you to specify or change settings for the operating mode when a UFR II/PCL/PS control command is received.
  • Imaging/PDF Settings Menus
    Enables you to specify or change settings for the operating mode when Direct Print data is received.
  • Utility Menu

Copies

1 to 9999; 1*


This setting enables you to specify the number of copies printed. The default setting is '1', but you can specify up to 9999 copies.



2-Sided Printing

On, Off*


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


Remark
  • Two-sided printing can use either the paper drawer or the stack bypass with the following sizes.
  • A3, JIS-B4, A4, A4R, JIS-B5, JIS-B5R, A5R, 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR, and STMTR
  • Two-sided printing can use paper within the following range:
  • 64 g/m2 to 90 g/m2
  • When printing on letterhead paper, or paper with a logo (such as a cover sheet), please note the following:
  • If the paper is fed from a paper drawer, the printing surface should be face down.
  • If the paper is fed from the stack bypass or the optional paper deck, the printing surface should be face up.


Paper Feed


Default Paper Size

Letter, Legal, A4*, A3, A5, 11" x 17", Executive, Statement, Envelope Monarch, Envelope COM10, Envelope DL, Envelope ISO-B5, and Envelope ISO-C5


This parameter defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set within the application software, when no paper source is specified.


Remark
  • If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper size specified in this setting. If the paper size specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper size and type. (See "Additional Functions.")


Default Paper Type

Plain Paper*, Transparency, Heavy Paper, Recycled Paper, Color Paper, Tracing Paper, Labels, Bond Paper, Pre-punched, and Envelope


This parameter sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type.


Remark
  • If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper type specified in this setting. If the paper type specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job, and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper type and size. (See "Additional Functions.")
  • Use the following figures as a guideline to decide whether paper should be specified as Plain Paper or Heavy Paper.
  • Plain Paper: 64 g/m2 to 90 g/m2
  • Heavy Paper: 91 g/m2 to 128 g/m2
  • Canon transparency film is recommended for printing on transparencies.
  • Canon label paper is recommended for printing on labels.
  • Heavy Paper, Transparency, Tracing Paper, Labels, Bond Paper, and Envelope cannot be printed using two-sided printing.


Paper Size Override

On, Off*


If paper of the size that is set in the printer driver has not been loaded in the paper drawer, the paper that is printed is changed to the following sizes.


Printer Driver Setting Paper
A4 Letter
Letter A4
A3 11" x 17"
11" x 17" A3

If [On] is selected, the paper size is changed.

If [Off] is selected, the paper supply message is displayed and the paper size is not changed.


Remark
  • The paper size does not change if there is no paper in the paper source of the size that is set in the printer driver, even if 'Paper Size Override' is set to [On].


Print Quality


Image Refinement

On*, Off


This setting smoothes the jagged outlines of characters and graphics.

If [On] is selected, smoothing is performed before printing.

If [Off] is selected, jobs are printed without being smoothed.


Remark
  • The function is not available if 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi].
  • The results of image refinement may be different depending on the types of characters and graphics you want to print.


Density

1 to 9; 5*


This setting adjusts the print density.

Pressing [Dark] makes the print image darker, pressing [Light] makes the image lighter. This setting has 9 levels you can adjust, with level '5' (middle level) being the default setting.


Remark
  • This function is not available if 'Toner Save' is set to [On].


Toner Save

On, Off*


This setting enables you to set the Toner Save function. Toner Save uses less toner to print documents and may result in longer toner life.


Remark
  • The function is not available if 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi].
  • Depending on the data to be printed, 'Toner Save' may not be applied even if [On] is selected.
  • If [On] is selected for 'Toner Save', very light or finely detailed images may not be printed clearly.


Line Refinement

On*, Off


This setting enables clearer printing of fine lines and small characters, or when you want to print characters and lines thicker.


Remark
  • This setting remains in effect even when the printer job is sent to a box.


Horizontal Line Refinement

Off, Level 1*, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4


This setting adjusts the thickness of horizontal lines to express fine lines and small characters more clearly. The higher the level number, the thicker the horizontal lines printed.


Remark
  • This setting is also available when 'Line Refinement' is set to [On] in the printer driver.
  • With this setting, horizontal lines are based on the direction in which the paper is fed.
  • Selecting [Level 2] or higher for this setting may result in abrupt changes in gradation with halftone images.


Vertical Line Refinement

Off, Level 1*, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4


This setting adjusts the thickness of vertical lines to express fine lines and small characters more clearly. The higher the level number, the thicker the vertical lines printed.


Remark
  • This setting is also available when 'Line Refinement' is set to [On] in the printer driver.
  • With this setting, vertical lines are based on the direction in which the paper is fed.
  • Selecting [Level 2] or higher for this setting may result in abrupt changes in gradation with halftone images.


Resolution

1200 dpi, 600 dpi*


This setting specifies the resolution for printing.

Resolution is expressed in units of dpi (dots per inch), indicating the number of dots in one inch. The higher the value, the greater the resolution, allowing finer expression of detail.

If [1200 dpi] is selected, the outline of characters and diagrams can be finely printed. This is suited to printing data containing fine lines and small characters.

If [600 dpi] is selected, you can perform printing suited to general documents and tables.


Remark
  • This setting cannot be applied to jobs in PCL5e mode.
  • When printing on large scale paper, set 'Resolution' to [600 dpi]. If [1200 dpi] is selected, there will not be enough memory necessary to process printing and printing will not be possible.


Layout


Binding Location

Long Edge*, Short Edge


This parameter determines whether the binding position is along the long edge or the short edge of the paper. When binding for two-sided printing, the image orientation is automatically adjusted for correct layout.

When the binding position is on the long edge of the paper:

When the binding position is on the short edge of the paper:


Remark
  • You cannot create a binding margin with this setting alone. Use this setting in combination with the Margin setting to create a binding margin.
  • For two-sided printing, the orientation of the image on the back side of the page may be changed by this setting.


Margin

-50.0 to +50.0 mm (in increments of 0.5 mm); 0.0* mm


This setting enables you to set the page margin in millimeters. The settings can be set in increments of 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) from -50.0 mm (-1.90 inches) through +50.0 mm (+1.90 inches).

Use [] to increase the width of the inside margin.

Use [] to increase the width of the outside margin.

You can specify the edge along which the margin will be created in the 'Binding Location' setting (previous setting). To create a margin along one of the edges of the paper, use this setting in combination with the 'Binding Location' setting.


Remark
  • If this setting moves the image outside the printable area, part of the image may be cut off.
  • If this setting is used in combination with 'Offset Short Edge/Offset Long Edge', the values of the two settings are added together.
  • Pressing [] increases the setting value by 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) each time the key is pressed. Pressing [] decreases the value by 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) each time. Holding down either [] or [] continuously speeds up the value alteration.



Offset Short Edge/Offset Long Edge (Front)

-50.0 to +50.0 mm (in increments of 0.5 mm); 0.0* mm


This setting enables you to set the offset position in millimeters. The settings can be set in increments of 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) from -50.0 mm (-2.00 inches) through +50.0 mm (+2.00 inches).

The print position on the front page is adjusted in the vertical or horizontal direction to the value specified in the setting value.

To adjust the print position on the back page, set 'Offset Short Edge/Offset Long Edge (Back)' (the next setting).

You can increase or decrease the setting in increments of 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) to adjust the print position, as described below.

Offset Short Edge (Front): Increasing the setting value moves the image in the rightward X direction on the paper. Decreasing the setting value moves the image in the leftward X direction on the paper.

Offset Long Edge (Front): Increasing the setting value moves the image in the downward Y direction on the paper. Decreasing the setting value moves the image in the upward Y direction on the paper.


Remark
  • Please note that if the print position is adjusted to place print data outside the printable area, the portion outside the printable area is not printed.
  • If this setting is used in combination with 'Margin', the values of the two settings are added together.
  • Pressing [] increases the setting value by 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) each time the key is pressed. Pressing [] decreases the value by 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) each time. Holding down either [] or [] continuously speeds up the value alteration.


Offset Short Edge/Offset Long Edge (Back)

-50.0 to +50.0 mm (in increments of 0.5 mm); 0.0* mm


This setting enables you to set the offset position in millimeters. The settings can be set in increments of 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) from -50.0 mm (-2.00 inches) through +50.0 mm (+2.00 inches).

The print position on the back page is adjusted in the vertical or horizontal direction to the value specified in the setting value.

To adjust the print position on the front page, set 'Offset Short Edge/Offset Long Edge (Front)' (the previous setting).

You can increase or decrease the setting in increments of 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) to adjust the print position, as described below.

Offset Short Edge (Back): Increasing the setting value moves the image in the rightward X direction on the paper. Decreasing the setting value moves the image in the leftward X direction on the paper.

Offset Long Edge (Back): Increasing the setting value moves the image in the downward Y direction on the paper. Decreasing the setting value moves the image in the upward Y direction on the paper.


Remark
  • Please note that if the print position is adjusted to place print data outside the printable area, the portion outside the printable area is not printed.
  • If this setting is used in combination with 'Margin', the values of the two settings are added together.
  • Pressing [] increases the setting value by 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) each time the key is pressed. Pressing [] decreases the value by 0.5 mm (0.01 inches) each time. Holding down either [] or [] continuously speeds up the value alteration.


Auto Continue

On, Off*


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

If [On] is selected, error skips are performed automatically.

If [Off] is selected, you must perform error skips from the touch panel display.


Remark
  • To perform an error skip, press [Print Status] on the System Monitor screen → select the job containing the error → press [Details] → [Error Skip].
  • Error skip only temporarily clears an error, so the data may not print correctly.
  • This setting is valid even if multiple errors have occurred.


Job Securing Time

1 hour*, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours


When a secured print job is sent to the machine, it is stored on the machine's hard disk, and a password must be entered before the job can be printed. This setting specifies how long the job will be stored before it is automatically canceled.


Remark
  • Even if the time period specified with this setting has not elapsed, the print job data is deleted if the main power to the machine is switched OFF.
  • The password is set from the printer driver.


Timeout

Timeout (5 to 300 seconds), Off; 15* seconds


When the 'Personality' is set to [Auto], the machine detects the control commands and starts printing in the appropriate mode. After all the data has been received and the end of the data is detected, the print mode stops. This processing of print data is called a job.

If the data for a job does not end, the machine does not start the next job even if it receives other print commands. In cases like this, use the Timeout setting to force jobs to finish if no data is received during the set period of time.

If Timeout is enabled, jobs can finish automatically. For example, if print data still remains in the machine because a form feed command cannot be processed, the paper can be fed automatically.

If Timeout is [Off], jobs will not end automatically.


Remark
  • If this function is set so that a job will timeout, the machine may end a print job before all the data has been received if it takes a long time for the PC to send the data. If this occurs, adjust the length of the 'Timeout' setting.
  • If [Off] is selected, you will not be able to make copies until print jobs that use the Staple and Punch settings have been completed.
  • If you send data from a printer driver that is not compatible with the machine, and the end of job command is not received within the time set in this setting, the machine cancels the job, which may cause the data to be printed incorrectly.
  • When a job is being processed, the Processing/Data indicator on the control panel blinks green.


Print After Completing RIP

On, Off*


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

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.


Remark
  • Please note that the memory of the machine can store up to 8,000 pages. When you send a secured document to be stored in the memory to be printed at a later time, and the memory is full (already reached its maximum capacity), your document will not be stored. The memory may be full because the machine is being used for other functions (such as storing a document in an inbox or storing a form) or other jobs, which use memory space.

  • Make sure to select compatible settings when using Staple and Punch simultaneously. If conflicting settings are selected, such as the staple setting for the right side of the paper and the punch setting for the left, the machine will use neither Staple nor Punch.
  • The machine automatically detects the size of the paper and punches two or three holes accordingly. (A3, A4, 11" x 17", and Letter papers are punched with three holes.)
  • Holes can only be punched in Plain Paper, Heavy Paper, Recycled Paper, Color Paper, and, Bond Paper.


Booklet

On, Off*


This setting enables you to prepare the printout for binding as a booklet. Booklet printing is a process whereby two pages of data are printed on the front and back of one page and it is folded in half to create a book.

If [On] is selected, the pages are bound on the left side.


Remark
  • Please note that the memory of the machine can store up to 8,000 pages. When you send a secured document to be stored in the memory to be printed at a later time, and the memory is full (already reached its maximum capacity), your document will not be stored. The memory may be full because the machine is being used for other functions (such as storing a document in an inbox or storing a form) or other jobs, which use memory space.
  • If the 'Finishing' settings are specified as [Rotate+Group], [Offset+Group], and [Staple+Group], then [Rotate+Collate], [Offset+Collate], and [Staple+Collate] are specified.
  • If the pages are not all the same size, this function will not work.
  • The 'Margin' or 'Offset Short Edge/Offset Long Edge' settings is invalid if this function is set to [On].
  • This function is available for selection if the image paper size is A4, A5, JIS-B5, Letter, or Statement. The data for these page sizes is printed on the following paper. (See the Help function on the printer driver.)

Creep Correction

Off*, Auto, and Correction Width (0.00 to 10.00 mm (in increments of 0.05 mm); 0* mm)


This setting enables you to adjust the print position of each page when printing a booklet using saddle stitch.

When sheets of paper are folded in half to make a booklet, the edges of the paper protrude more the closer the pages are to the center of the booklet. Margin width at the edges is narrowed, and part of the printing may also be cut off (depending on the number of pages and paper thickness when the edges are trimmed to make them even). Using creep correction to adjust the margin of the gutter can correct such uneven printing (creep).

If [Auto] is selected, the gutter margins are automatically adjusted based on the number of pages and paper thickness.

If [Correction Width] is selected, the gutter widths are adjusted based on a value you enter which specifies the difference in how far the edge of the most inner page and the edge of the most outer page come when sheets of paper are folded in half to make the booklet.


Remark
  • This function is not available if 'Booklet' is set to [Off].
  • Pressing [ ] increase the setting value by 0.05 mm (0.001 inches) each time the key is pressed. Pressing [ ] decreases the setting value by 0.05 mm (0.001 inches) each time. Holding down either [ ] or [ ] continuously speeds up the value alteration.
  • If this setting is used in combination with the 'Offset Short Edge/Offset Long Edge' or 'Margin', the values of these three settings are added together.


Transparency Interleaving

Off*, Blank, and Printed


If you are printing on transparencies, you can use this setting to output a sheet of paper after each transparency. The paper can be blank, or it can be a paper copy of the transparency.

If [Off] is selected, no sheets are interleaved with the transparencies.

If [Blank] is selected, a blank sheet of paper is inserted between each transparency.

If [Printed] is selected, a printed paper from the print job is inserted between each transparency.


Remark
  • This function is not available if 'Copy Set Numbering' is set to [On].
  • When printing multiple copies, the [Offset+Group] for the 'Finishing' option cannot be used.
  • If the 'Finishing' settings are specified as [Rotate+Group], [Offset+Group], and [Staple+Group], then [Rotate+Collate], [Offset+Collate], and [Staple+Collate] are specified.
  • If [Printed] is selected, the paper printouts are included in the Prints count. However, if [Blank] is selected, they are not included in the Prints count.


Copy Set Numbering


Copy Set Numbering

Remark
  • If this setting is used in combination with [Forced Secure Watermark Mode (print)] in System Settings (from the Additional Functions screen), this setting is invalid. For details on the Forced Secure Watermark Mode function, see "Security."
  • If the 'Finishing' settings are specified as [Rotate+Group], [Offset+Group], and [Staple+Group], then [Rotate+Collate], [Offset+Collate], and [Staple+Collate] are specified.
  • If the copy number has fewer than five digits, the machine prints it as follows:
  • Example: If the copy number is 10
    10→00010
  • Copy numbers are not printed on blank pages (pages with no data).
  • If this setting is used in combination with 'Margin' or 'Offset Short Edge/Offset Long Edge', part of the copy number may be cut off.
  • This function is not available if 'Transparency Interleaving' is enabled.
  • If the number of printed copies exceeds '99999', it returns to '00001'.

Number Position Vertical/Number Position Horizontal

-8 to +8 mm (in increments of 1 mm); 0* mm


The position of the copy numbers specified with 'Print Position' can be finely adjusted by offsetting them in the horizontal or vertical directions. The adjustment can be made in increments of 1 mm (1/16 inches) from -8 mm (-5/16 inches) through +8 mm (+5/16 inches).

You can increase or decrease the setting value to adjust the print position of the copy numbers, as described below.

Number Position Vertical: Increasing the setting value moves the print position in the downward direction of the paper. Decreasing the setting value moves the print position in the upward direction of the paper.

Number Position Horizontal: Increasing the setting value moves the print position to the right. Decreasing the setting value moves the print position to the left.


Remark
  • Please note that if the print position is adjusted to place the digits of the copy numbers outside the printable area, the portion outside the printable area is not printed.
  • This function is only available if 'Copy Set Numbering' is set to [On].


Personality

Auto*, PS, PCL, Imaging, and PDF


This setting enables the machine to process data received from the host computer in the specified data format. Setting the 'Personality' 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 the [Auto] setting.


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

Halftones

Text: Tone, Gradation, Resolution*, and High Resolution
Graphics: Tone*, Gradation, Resolution, and High Resolution
Image: Tone*, Gradation, Resolution, and High Resolution


This setting specifies how to express halftones in black and white data.

Print data is expressed in dots. Fine gradations, edges, and shades are expressed by using dither patterns, which are groups of dots. This is called halftone processing.

For example, using a pattern that sharpens character and line edges, or a pattern that smoothens image and graph gradation, enables you to obtain the most suitable texture.

If [Tone] is selected, you can print with sharp gradation and well-balanced texture, contrasting light and shade, which is best for printing images.

If [Gradation] is selected, you can print with both smooth gradation and outlines, which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.

If [Resolution] is selected, you can print text with distinct outlines, which is best to print text and thin lines.

If [High Resolution] is selected, 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.



Paper Save

On*, Off


This setting specifies whether to output a blank page when software does not send print data between End Page codes.

If [On] is selected, a blank page is not output, thus saving paper.

If [Off] is selected, a blank page is output.

    Example : http://my_printer.xy_dept.company.com
  1. Click [Direct Print] → select [PDF File] from the menu that appears under [Direct Print].

If Department ID Management is set, a dialog box prompting you to enter the Department ID and password appears. Enter the Department ID and password → click [OK].

  1. Specify the location of the PDF file that you want to print.

  • Click [Browse] → click [Open] after selecting the file.


  • Enter the URL of the PDF file you want to print.

* For URLs that need user certification, enter the [User] and [Password].

  • If you specify a PDF file by entering its URL, the next print job cannot be processed until the PDF file is downloaded or until the browser disconnects from the web server.
  • Only HTTP protocol is supported when you print a PDF file by entering its URL.
  1. Enter the password in [Document Password] to open PDF files that have a password (user password) specified.

  • If you want to print a PDF file that is not allowed to be printed or if you want to print a PDF file in high resolution that is only allowed to be printed in low resolution, enter the master password of the PDF file. If you try to print without entering the password, the error message <PDL PDF Data Decode Err> is displayed and printing is canceled.
  1. Specify the settings for [Specify Print Range].

Select [All] to print every page.

If you want to specify the pages to print by the page number, click [Pages] → enter the page numbers. Only the setting for the item whose radio button is selected will be effective.

Some Basic Facts about Fonts

This section summarizes some of the basic facts you should know about fonts.



What Is a Font?

A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font. A font consists of the letters A to Z in both upper and lowercase, digits, and symbols.

The design that distinguishes one font from another is referred to as a "typeface." Each font has a typeface name, such as Courier, CG Times, Letter Gothic, etc.



Attributes of Fonts

All fonts share some common characteristics, which are called "attributes." The typeface is one such attribute. The letters and symbols that are actually printed are determined by the values of a collection of these attributes.


Typeface The design of the letters (e.g., Courier, CG Times, Helvetica, or Gothic).
Stroke Weight The thickness of the lines with which the letters are drawn (e.g., bold, medium, or light).
Style Whether the letters are drawn straight or at an angle (e.g., upright or italic).
Point Size Height of the letters (e.g., 10 point or 5 point).
Pitch (cpi) Number of characters that are printed in one inch (e.g., 10 cpi, 12 cpi, or Scale).
Character Width (Fixed/PS) Indicates whether the character width is set to "Fixed" or "Proportional."
Orientation Orientation of the characters on a page ("Portrait" or "Landscape").
Symbol Set The rule that defines the correspondence between the character codes coming from the host computer, and the letter forms that appear on the page (e.g., Roman-8).


Typeface

Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces.



Stroke Weight

Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available. The figure below shows an example of medium and bold printing.



Style

Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two styles: upright and italic.

With some fonts, like CourierPS and Letter Gothic, the terms "Oblique" and "Slanted" are used in the same manner as italics.



Point Size

Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The bitmapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size. Scalable fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. The following figure shows an example of various point sizes.


Remark


Pitch (cpi)

Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi (characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between characters increases.



Character Width (Fixed and PS)

Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given point size. For example, "W" is a wider letter than "I." There are two ways to print letters of different widths: you can print all letters with the same spacing, regardless of their actual width; or you can change the spacing between letters to accommodate these different widths. Printing all letters with the same spacing is called "Fixed spacing," while changing the spacing to accommodate different letter widths is called "Proportional spacing."

Because the Fixed spacing method prints all letters with the same spacing, the number of characters which will fit into a given length is a fixed quantity which can be specified.

If the characters are printed with Proportional spacing, then the number of characters that will fit into an inch varies depending on the letters printed.



Orientation

Orientation refers to the direction of printing. The printer function can print using two different paper orientations: portrait and landscape. With portrait orientation, text is printed across the width of the paper (short edge), and with landscape orientation, text is printed across the length of the paper (long edge).



Symbol Set

When you print the letter "A," the host computer sends a code corresponding to "A" (hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code. In this case, the machine searches for the pattern for "A," and prints it.

  • The process by which letters are printed

The machine uses a fixed rule to decide which letter or symbol corresponds to the character code sent from the host computer. For example, the letter "A" is printed for the hexadecimal code "41." The rule which determines the correspondence between character codes and printed letters is called the "symbol set."



Fonts and Scalable Fonts

There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed.

  • Bitmapped fonts
  • Scalable fonts


Bitmapped Fonts

Each character of bitmapped fonts are composed of a grid of small dots and stored in the machine's memory in dot matrix format.

Bitmapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by characteristics called "attributes," such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on. Various types of bitmapped fonts are produced by the combination of these attributes.



Scalable Fonts

With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.



Standard Scalable Fonts (PCL)

With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.)

The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.

Release Notes

  • Notes on using the NetWare print services banner page setting and page breaks in Windows applications

If a print job sent to the machine contains a banner page or page break command (referred to as a banner page below) the job is processed as two separate jobs. Therefore, you should remember the following points when using the banner page setting:


1. When the job is displayed on the machine's touch panel display or in the utility software, the main document and the banner page are displayed separately. If you cancel or change the print order of the main document, the banner page is still printed or mixed in with other print jobs unless it is also canceled or its order in the print queue is changed.
2. If several print jobs are sent to the machine at the same time, the banner page associated with the main document of a job may not printed immediately after the job, but in a different order.
3. If you are using the impression count setting for the Department ID Management function, the banner page is not counted as an impression. It is counted as a job with an unknown ID.
4. Even if the main document is a secured print job, protected by a password, the banner page is not processed as a secured print job, and is printed immediately when it reaches the top of the print queue.
5. If a print job is stored in an inbox, the banner page is not stored in the inbox and is printed.

  • Notes on using the NetWare print services form feed function

Even if you have specified a form feed setting for a print job, a form feed is not performed. The form feed function is effective for only line printers. It is not necessary for page printers. If the form feed function is enabled, the form feed may be inserted in an unexpected location, and the print result may be incorrect.

Limitation when using the Group function when sending a print job to an inbox

If you specify multiple copies when sending a print job to an inbox that uses the Group function, the copy quantity when you print from the inbox is one rather than the actual number of copies specified for the job. However, when you print the job, the number of copies specified when the job was sent to the inbox are printed. This means that if you specify more than one copy when printing from the inbox, the machine prints the multiple copy job several times. Unnecessary copies of the job are printed if you specify several copies when printing because only "1" was displayed for the copy quantity when printing from the inbox.

Limitations on setting the number of copies to '0'

If a job is complex, pages may be printed even when the copy quantity is set to '0'. If this happens, try using the PCL5 printer driver and using the Graphics mode.

Limitations when printing from Macintosh computers

If you specify the Gutter Location, when printing with the 2 in 1 (L→R) layout, the job is printed with the gutter shifted in the opposite direction.
