• Media
Type: Chart at right lists the media profiles
associated with the type of media chosen.
Sizes: Select for the given media that you are
using. If the size is not present use Custom
Sizes.
In some programs (i.e. Adobe Acrobat®) this
feature also allows you to choose a different
size paper than the document was originally
designed for, and the document image is
automatically resized to fit the new media.
Important: When designing a custom size; do
not
exceed the printer’s maximum print width
(8.5”). Custom sizes can only be created for
locally-attached printers.
Borderless Print – Also known as “full-bleed”
printing. Select this option to allow the image
to overlap all edges of the media. The image
being sent must be slightly larger than the media (a 1/8” bleed is typical). Tip: You may need to
have your support person adjust the tof_adjustment setting in the Toolbox (Service Menu, Printer
Control Conf., under Printout Control) to align the “full bleed” image with the physical page.
• Color Selection – Set Printing for Color or Monochrome.
Monochrome + Normal Print Quality = Black Only (image produced using only the black Tanks)
Monochrome + Best Print Quality = Composite Black (uses CMYKK to make the darkest black)
• Print Quality – Select Normal or Best.
Normal provides 1600 x 800 dpi at 12 ips (inches per second). If you also select the Half Speed,
box; media transport and printing is slowed, for higher print accuracy.
Best provides 1600 x 1600 dpi, at 6 ips. Use when high quality images are required.
• My Print Settings – Allows you to save or recall (select) your custom driver settings for various
jobs.
Layout Tab
Layout allows you change how the document
prints without changing the original document.
• Resizing
Original Size – no changes
Custom Resize - lets you resize the
original as a % of normal size. The
printer will print the document in the size
you selected regardless of the size of the
paper selected.
Print on: Lets you specify the particular
size of paper that you want to print on
regardless of the size of the original
document. Checking “Scale to Fit”
automatically resizes the document to fit
on the new page size.
• Printing Adjustments (1 = 0.1 mm)
Left Adjustment – (Left Margin) lets you
shift the printed image left or right.
max value = + or – 2000 (200 mm)
positive value = shift left
negative value = shift right
