Applying the Settings Specified in the Printer Driver or Commands When Printing

You can specify whether to give priority to the settings configured in the printer driver or commands, or to the ones configured on the control panel for each tray when the machine receives print data.

An error occurs if priority is given to the settings configured on the machine's control panel, and the paper settings specified by the printer driver or the print command do not match the machine's settings.

When [Driver / Command] is selected in [Tray Setting Priority], the paper size, type, and orientation settings specified in the printer driver or command are applied, regardless of the settings of [Tray Paper Settings] specified on the machine.

2Press the [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key] key to select [Print Settings], and then press the [OK] key.

4Press the [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key] key to select [Tray Setting Priority], and then press the [OK] key.

Note

  • For details about the items that can be configured, see "Machine Modes", Settings.

  • When [Driver / Command] is selected on the Bypass Tray, the paper orientation specified in [Tray Paper Settings] on the machine is applied. Select [Auto Detect] in [Tray Paper Settings], or load paper in the same orientation as the orientation specified in [Tray Paper Settings]. When a custom size is specified in the printer driver or command, the paper orientation specified in the printer driver or command is applied.
