Print Output Functions

You can specify the form of print outputs according to your purposes. This section briefly describes some of the settings that you can specify.

Printing multiple sets of a document

You can print multiple sets of the same document.

Collating the output in document batches

You can print complete sets of a multiple-page document one set at a time (P1, P2, P1, P2 ...). If this function is not used when printing multiple sets, prints will be output in page batches (P1, P1, P2, P2 ...). This function is useful when, for example, making presentation materials.

Changing orientation or rotating the image

You can change the orientation of an image to portrait or landscape. You can also rotate the image by 180 degrees. Use rotation to prevent an image from being printed upside down when using paper with a predefined top and bottom (such as letterhead paper).

Printing multiple pages per sheet

You can print multiple pages onto one sheet of paper.

When using this function, a suitable reduction ratio is selected automatically based on the paper size and the number of pages you want to fit on each sheet.

Printing on both sides of paper (duplex printing)

You can print on both sides of paper.

Reducing or enlarging the document

You can reduce or enlarge documents by a specific ratio, from 25% to 400% in 1% increments.

You can also reduce or enlarge documents automatically to fit a specific paper size. This function is useful, for example, when printing Web pages.

Not printing of blank pages

If a print job contains blank pages, they can be prevented from being printed.

Printing on custom size paper

You can print using non-standard size paper by specifying the size of the paper as custom size.

To specify the custom paper size, select [Custom Paper Size] from the [Document Size:] list, and then click the [Custom Paper Size...] button in the lower part of the dialog box to configure the paper size.

Superimposing text on prints (watermark)

You can superimpose watermark text on prints. Various predefined watermarks are provided. You can also create your own watermarks.

Note

  • Some of the functions described above might not be available depending on the printer driver or operating system. For details, see the printer driver Help.
