Error Action

Setting 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 setting item to specify when you specify [Auto Cancel for Print Job(s) on Error] to [On]. 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 Maximum Number of Sheets for Stapling

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 (Alert)], you can select whether to continue or cancel printing when printing stops.

This setting item can be selected only on the IM C400SRF machine.

  • Driver/Command

    When a paper tray is specified for a print job, the paper settings such as paper size, type, and orientation specified by the printer driver or the print command are applied, regardless of [Paper Size/Paper Type] specified on the control panel.

    When Bypass Tray is set to [Driver/Command], the paper orientation specified by [Paper Size/Paper Type] on the control panel is applied.
