This section describes the parameters that can be set on [System].

Print Error Report

You can specify whether or not to print an error report when a printer error or memory error occurs.

Default: [Off]

  • On

  • Off

Emulation SW

The printer detects the type of data sent and automatically selects the emulation to be used.

Default: [On]

  • On

  • Off

Priority Emulation

You can specify the emulation that is automatically called when the main power is turned on.

This setting is available when [Emulation SW] is set to [Off].

The printer prints any data received from a computer using the specified emulation.

Default: [PCL]

  • PCL

  • PS3

Memory Usage

You can specify whether or not to use memory from Font Priority or Frame Priority.

Default: [Frame Priority]

  • Font Priority

    Allocates more memory to the PDL work area. Select this setting if printing fails due to insufficient memory.

  • Frame Priority

    Allocates more memory for image processing. Select this setting to increase print speed. Depending on the document you are printing, this setting might not be effective.

Copies

You can specify the number of copies to print.

If the number of copies to print is specified by command or the printer driver, this setting is overridden.

Default: 1

  • 1 to 999

Rotate by 180 Degrees

You can specify whether or not to rotate the print image by 180 degrees.

Default: [Off]

  • On

  • Off

Sub Paper Size

You can specify whether or not the paper size switches automatically when paper of the specified size is not loaded in the tray.

This feature supports automatic switching between A4 and Letter (8 1/2" x 11") size paper only.

Paper switching may crop page edges and other undesirable print results. This is due to the difference between A4 and Letter (8 1/2" x 11") in the maximum printable area.

Default: [Auto]

  • Auto

  • Off

Toner Saving

Reduces toner consumption when printing. When this setting is enabled, print quality may be degraded.

You can specify whether or not to print on paper that has a fixed print side or print direction (letterhead paper, for example). For details, see Loading Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-Sided Paper.

Default: [Off]

  • Off

    The letterhead printing mode is disabled.

  • Auto Detect

    You can specify whether or not to print using letterhead mode whenever a page that has a fixed print side or print direction is specified as the first page.

You can specify whether or not the paper size and type settings applied for the bypass tray are those specified using the control panel, printer driver, or print command.

  • Machine Setting(s)

    The paper settings specified on the printer's control panel are applied to all print jobs. An error may occur if the paper settings specified using the printer driver or by print command do not match those specified using the control panel.

  • Machine Settg(s): Any Type

    If this setting is selected for a print job and the type of the document for the print job does not need to be specified, you can print only if the paper size matches the job's print setting.

    • [Auto Tray Select] is selected for the input tray setting in the printer driver.
