System Menu Parameters

This section explains about parameters that can be set on the System menu.

Auto Continue

Sets the printer to ignore an error with paper size or type and continue printing. The printing stops temporarily when an error is detected, and restarts automatically after about ten seconds using the settings made on the control panel.

However, even if you set to [On] and certain errors occur, the current job may be canceled, and the printer automatically performs the next queued job.

Default: [Off]

  • Off

  • On

Def. Ppr. Size

Sets the printer's default paper size.

Default: [A4], [8 1/2 x 11]

A4, B5 JIS, A5, B6 JIS, A6, 8 1/2 x 14, 8 1/2 x 11, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 7 1/4 x 10 1/2, 8 x 13, 8 1/2 x 13, 8 1/4 x 13, 16K, 4 1/8 x 9 1/2, 3 7/8 x 7 1/2, C5 Env, C6 Env, DL Env

Copies

Specifies the number of pages to print.

This setting is disabled if the number of pages to print is specified by command or the printer driver.

Default: "1"

  • 1 - 999

Sub Paper Size

Sets the printer to print onto paper of another size if the specified paper is not loaded in any tray. Alternative sizes are preset to A4 and Letter.

Default: [Off]

  • Off

  • Auto

Duplex

Sets the printer to print on both sides of paper according to the specified binding method.

Default: [Off]

Prt. Err.Report

Sets the printer to print an error page when the printer detects a printer or memory error.

Default: [Off]

  • On

  • Off

Blank Pg. Print

Sets the printer to print blank pages.

When cover sheet printing is enabled from the printer driver, cover sheets are inserted even if you select [Off].

Note that this setting has lower priority than the printer driver's blank page setting ([Do not Print Blank Pages] on the [Setup] tab of the PCL6 printer driver, or [Print Blank Pages] under [Printer Features] of the PostScript 3 printer driver).

Default: [On]

  • On

  • Off

Energy Saver 1

Sets the printer to enter Energy Saver mode 1 if the printer has been idle for about 30 seconds. It takes less time to recover from Energy Saver mode 1 than from power-off state or Energy Saver mode 2, but power consumption is higher in Energy Saver mode 1 than in Energy Saver mode 2.

Default: [Off]

  • Off

  • On (30 seconds)

Energy Saver 2

Sets the printer to enter Energy Saver mode 2 after the period of time specified for this setting is passed. The printer consumes less power in Energy Saver mode 2 than in Energy Saver mode 1, but it takes longer to recover from Energy Saver mode 2 than from Energy Saver mode 1.

Default: [On] (1 minute)

  • On (1 to 240 minutes, in 1 minute increments)

  • Off

Restore Default

Resets the printer settings to their factory-set defaults. Rebooting the printer is required after you are requested to do so on the control panel.

Image Density

Adjusts the printer's image density.

Default: "0"

  • -3 to 3

Note

  • Even if Energy Saver 2 is enabled, the machine will not enter Energy Saver 2 for two hours if [Low Humid. Mode] under [Maintenance] Menu is enabled. However, the printer will enter Energy Saver 1 as normal (even when Energy Saver 1 is not enabled).
