Introduction of Two Types of Setting Screens (Standard/Classic)

Error Action

Items

Description

Print Error Report

You can specify whether to have an error report printed when a printer or memory error occurs.

  • Default: [Off]

Auto Continue

When the paper specified on the printer driver is not set in the machine, you can specify whether the machine continues to print onto paper that has not been specified after a system error occurs (Forced Printing).

When you specify [Immediate], forced printing starts. You can display the dialog for confirming whether to continue printing and specify to wait for a specified period of time (1 to 15 minutes).

Depending on the machine settings, printing is canceled, and Forced Printing does not start. The results of Forced Printing cannot be guaranteed.

  • Default: [Off]

Store and Skip Errored Job

You can specify whether to store an error job in the machine and to print the next job. Normal Print, Sample Print, and Stored Print jobs can be stored in the machine when an error occurs. To activate this setting, specify the number of pages of the error job that the machine verifies when printing starts (1 to 999 pages). A large number of pages require time to start printing. If an error occurs after printing starts, the next job will not be printed.

  • Default: [Off]

Memory Overflow

When the sent data size is too large to process in the machine, you can specify whether to stop printing at the error page (Do not Print) or to continue printing.

To continue printing, release the Staple and Sort functions, and print the error information last.

  • Default: [Do not Print]

Error Display Setting

You can specify whether to display all print errors on the control panel. When you specify [Only Important Ones], some print errors are displayed.

  • Default: [All]

Auto Cancel Confirmation for PDL Error Job

This is the user tool when you specify [Auto Cancel for Print Job(s) on Error] to [Display]. You can specify whether to display the screen to confirm auto cancelation of the error job on the control panel. The next job does not start until the screen disappears.

  • Default: [Do not Display]

Auto Cancel for Print Job(s) on Error

When a print error occurs, you can specify whether to automatically cancel printing of the error job and the job received just before the error occurred.

  • Default: [Off]

When Exceeded Max. Number of Sheets for Stapling

When Exceeded Max. Number of Sheets for Booklet

You can specify the machine's behavior when the number of pages in a document exceeds the maximum number of pages that can be stapled together.

To continue printing, cancel the Staple function. When you specify [Suspend (Display Alert Screen)], you can select whether to continue or cancel printing when printing stops.

  • Default

    • When Exceeded Max. Number of Sheets for Stapling: [Continue Printing]

    • When Exceeded Max. Number of Sheets for Booklet: [Suspend (Display Alert Screen)]

Paper In/Out

Items

Description

Sub Paper Size

You can specify whether A4 and 81/2 × 11 paper is treated as the same size.

  • Default: [Auto]

Letterhead Setting

To print onto paper that has a fixed print side or print direction (letterhead paper, for example), make the settings for image rotation and print side correctly. Set the paper so that the paper orientation and print side are placed correctly.

Loading Orientation-fixed Paper or Two-sided Paper

  • Default: [Auto Detect]

Tray Setting Priority

You can specify whether to give priority to the settings made in the printer driver or commands (paper size or paper type), or to the settings made on the control panel. You can specify the following settings for each tray:

  • Driver/Command

    The settings specified on the printer driver or by command are used for printing regardless of the settings specified on the control panel.

    When [Driver/Command] is selected in the bypass tray, you can specify whether to display the paper size, paper type, and paper orientation selected in the driver or use commands ("Paper Confirmation for Bypass Tray" screen). The Paper Confirmation for Bypass Tray is set to [Do not Display] by default.

  • Machine Setting(s)

    Tray Paper Settings specified on the control panel are used for printing. If the Tray Paper Settings specified on the printer driver or by command are different, a paper mismatch error occurs.

  • Use Driver (Enable Alert)

    You can specify this function only for the bypass tray. If the paper size detected on this machine is different from the settings specified on the printer driver or by command, a paper mismatch error occurs.

  • Default:

    • Bypass Tray: [Use Driver (Enable Alert)]

    • Tray 1–4, Large Capacity Tray: [Machine Setting(s)]

Tray Switching

This is the user tool when you print by specifying the tray on the printer driver. You can specify whether to switch to Auto Paper Select when the paper set in the tray is different from the settings specified on the printer driver. If the same paper is set on another tray, the paper is fed from the tray.

  • Default: [Off]

Extended Auto Tray Switching

This is the user tool when you print by specifying the paper tray. You can specify whether to use the same paper set on another tray when the paper set in the designated tray runs out.

If Auto Tray Switching for Print Settings of emulation is disabled, printing continues by Auto Tray Switching.

  • Default: [Off]

Job Separation

Specify whether to shift the position of ejected sheets for each job alternately. You can sort the output sheets per job automatically when printing a large number of sheets from multiple jobs.

This menu item can be selected only when an optional finisher or internal shift tray is installed.

  • Default: [Off]

Rotate Sort: Auto Paper Continue

You can specify whether to continue printing when Rotate Sort is specified and the paper tray runs out of paper that is loaded in the landscape or portrait orientation.

  • Default: [Off]
