Before You Start Using This Machine

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.

NOTE
• This guide 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 the Remote UI Guide.
• 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.

1-2 Menu Functions

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.

2-12 Settings Menu

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.

NOTE
• To perform an error skip, press [Print] on the System Monitor screen ➞ select the job containing
the error ➞ press [Details] ➞ [Error Skip]. 2
• Error skip only temporarily clears an error, so the data may not print correctly.

Printer Settings Menu

• For information on types of errors that can be temporarily cleared with Auto Continue, see "When
a Message Is Displayed," on p. 3-2 .
• 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 cancelled.

NOTE
• 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.

Settings Menu 2-13

 Timeout
Timeout (5 to 300 seconds), Off; 15* seconds
This setting enables you to force jobs to finish if no data is received during the set period of
time.
If Timeout is 'On', 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.

2 IMPORTANT
• If this function is set so that a job will timeout, the machine may end a print job before all the data
Printer Settings Menu

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+Collate
and Punch settings have been completed.
• If you send data from a printer driver 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.

NOTE
When a job is being processed, the Processing/Data Indicator on the control panel flashes.

Print After Completing RIP

On, Off*
This setting sets whether to use the Print After Completing RIP function.
RIP is Raster Image Processor, 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
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.

Halftones
Text: Resolution*, Gradation, and Tone
2 Graphics: Resolution, Gradation, and Tone*
Image: Resolution, Gradation, and Tone*
Printer Settings Menu

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 'Resolution' is selected, you can print text with distinct outlines, which is best to print text and
thin lines.
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 'Tone' is selected, you can print with sharp gradation and well-balanced texture, contrasting
light and shade, which is best for printing images.

Paper Save
On*, Off
This setting specifies whether to output a blank page when software sends no 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.

The paper size used is determined by the paper size specified when the data is sent to the machine. If

Printer Settings Menu

no paper size is specified, the paper size specified in the Settings Menu is used.

Image Orientation
Auto*, Vertical, and Horizontal
This setting specifies whether to print an image vertically or horizontally.
If [Auto] is selected, orientation is automatically adjusted by comparing length and width of the
image. If the width is greater, the image is printed horizontally. If the length is greater, the image
is printed vertically.
If [Vertical] is selected, the image is printed vertically regardless of its dimensions.
If [Horizontal] is selected, the image is printed horizontally regardless of its dimensions.

Zoom
Off*, Auto
This setting enlarges or reduces the size of an image to match the valid printable area of the
paper size specified.
If [Auto] is selected, the size of the image is automatically enlarged or reduced to match the
printable area of the specified paper size. If the size of the image is larger than the printable
area, it is automatically reduced. If the size of the image is smaller than the printable area, it is
automatically enlarged.

NOTE
• If there is blank space in the top, bottom, left, and right edges when using this setting, use the
[Print Position] setting in combination with this setting to adjust the print position.
• This setting uses the same ratio for both the length and width to enlarge or reduce the size of the
image.
• Even if [Off] is selected, the image size is automatically reduced if it is larger than the printable
area of the specified paper size.

Imaging Settings 2-27

 Print Position
Auto*, Center, and Top Left
This setting specifies the print position for the image.
If [Auto] is selected, the image is printed in the specified position of the paper if the print
position for the image is specified. If the print position is not specified, the image is printed in
the center of the paper.
If [Center] is selected, the image is printed in the center of the paper regardless of whether the
print position of the image is specified or not.
If [Top Left] is selected, the image is printed in the top left of the paper regardless of whether
2 the print position of the image is specified or not.
