Customizing Settings 3 Referring to the descriptions of the following settings, select the option best suited to your preferences: - Default PaperSize (See p. 3-7) - Default PaperType (See p. 3-8) - Copies (See p. 3-8) - 2-Sided Printing (See p. 3-9) - Print Quality (See p. 3-9) - Layout (See p. 3-11) - Auto Continue (See p. 3-13) - Timeout (See p. 3-14) - Finishing (See p.
Settings Menu This section provides detailed information on the Printer Settings. NOTE The default settings are indicated in bold. Default PaperSize LTR, STMT, EXECUTIV, A4, A3, A5, ISO-B5, ISO-C5, No. 10 (COM10), MONARCH, DL, 11 × 17, LGL This setting defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set from the printer driver in the computer, or when no paper source is specified.
Default PaperType Plain, Color, Recycled, Heavy Paper 1, Heavy Paper 2, Heavy Paper 3, Bond, 3HOLE PUNCH PAPER, Transparency, Labels, ENVELOPE This setting sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type. IMPORTANT If you are printing from a computer that does not have the appropriate printer driver for the machine, make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper type selected for this setting.
2-Sided Printing Off, On This setting selects one- or two-sided printing. In the 2-Sided Printing mode, the document is printed on both sides of the paper. NOTE • In the 2-Sided Printing mode, you can use either the paper drawers or stack bypass as the paper source, with LTR, LTRR, LGL, 11" × 17", STMTR, EXEC, A4, A3, A5R, A4R, B4, B5, or B5R paper loaded. • In the 2-Sided Printing mode, you can use the 17 to 22 lb bond (64 to 80 g/m2) paper.
■ Toner Save Off, On This setting enables or disables the toner saving feature. When this feature is enabled, less toner is used to print documents, resulting in a longer toner life. IMPORTANT This setting applies only to print jobs sent from a computer via a printer driver. NOTE If [On] is selected for Toner Saver, very light or finely detailed images may not be printed clearly.
Layout ■ Binding Location Long Edge, Short Edge This setting 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 to produce the correct layout.
■ Margin -1.90 to +1.90Inches (in increments of 0.01Inches); 00.00Inches This setting sets the page margin in millimeters or inches. Press [ ] to increase the width of the inside margin. (Example 1) Press [ ] to increase the width of the outside margin. (Example 2) 00.00Inches Center Center Center Customizing Settings 3 Example 2 Example 1 You can specify the edge along which the margin will be created in the Binding setting.
Combining the Binding and Margin Settings The figures below illustrate how the Binding and Margin settings are combined. You can set the paper orientation using the printer driver. (See Chapter 3, “Printing Functions,” in the Driver Software Guide.) Customizing Settings 3 Auto Continue Off, On This setting enables you to automatically clear an error and continue printing when an error occurs (Error skip). If [Off] is selected, you must perform error skips from the touch panel display.
Timeout On (5 to 300sec), Off; 15sec The Timeout setting enables the machine to discard a print job that remains in the machine’s memory after a specified period of time. This setting is useful when the data for the current job has some error and prevents the machine from performing further printing. In this case, the machine will not receive other print commands because it performs printing in chronological order (jobs are printed in the order they are received).
Finishing Off, Collate, Rotate+Collate, Rotate+Group, Offset+Collate, Offset+Group, Staple+Collate (Corner (Upper-L), Corner (Upper-R), Corner (Lower-L), Corner (Lower-R), Double (Left), Double (Right), Double (Top), Double (Bottom)) IMPORTANT The table below shows all the Finishing modes that are available with the optional Inner Finisher-B1, and the paper sizes that can be used.
Offset+Group This setting prints all copies of the same page before printing the next page. It offsets every other complete set of pages to indicate where each new set starts. Staple+Collate This setting prints all pages of each copy (collating), and staples them together before printing the next copy.
[Corner (Upper-L)] [Corner (Upper-R)] [Corner (Lower-L)] [Corner (Lower-R)] [Double (Left)] [Double (Right)] [Double (Top)] [Double (Bottom)] Settings Menu 3-17 3 Customizing Settings NOTE • Rotate+Collate and Rotate+Group are available for selection if the paper size is LTR, LTRR, A4, A4R, B5, or B5R. • If Rotate+Collate and Rotate+Group is selected, part of the print image may be cut off when the image is rotated.
Personality Auto, PCL, PS 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.
Initialize Off, On The menu settings can be returned to the factory defaults by initializing the printer settings. If [On] is selected, the settings are initialized. If [Off] is selected, the settings are not initialized. IMPORTANT Do not turn OFF the machine while the settings are being initialized, as this may damage the machine’s memory.

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, as well as numerals and symbols. The design that distinguishes one font from another is referred to as a “typeface.
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. Appendix 5 Style Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two styles: upright and italic.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 and OCR Sets 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.
