Select the printing colors (default: [Auto Color]).

  • [Auto Color]: The color mode is automatically selected according to the original color.

  • [Gray Scale]: The original is printed in black and white regardless of whether the original is in color or in black and white.

  • [2 Color (Text Priority)]: The gray areas and color areas of an original are printed using combinations of the respectively specified colors. This option provides color reproducibility focused on the visual quality of text.

  • [2 Color (Photo Priority)]: The gray areas and color areas of an original are printed using combinations of the respectively specified colors. This option provides color reproducibility focused on the visual quality of photos.

[Symbol Set]

Select the desired font symbol set (the default value varies depending on the area you are in).

[Font Settings]

Select the desired font (default: [Courier]).

  • [Select Typeface]: Select the desired font from the fonts built in this machine or the fonts downloaded to this machine.

[Font Size]

Specify the default font size value.

  • [Scalable Font]: Enter the font size (in points) for scalable fonts (with different widths for each character) (default: [12.00 Point]).

  • [Bitmap Font]: Enter the font width (in pitches) for bitmap fonts (with the same width for each character) (default: [10.00 Pitch]).

[Line/Page]

  • [Bar Code Space Width]: Specify the space width of the bar code font (default: [00%]).

[Thin Line]

When drawing a thin line in reduced-size printing mode, set this option to ON (default: ON).

This is effective for thin lines such as table borders created in Excel, but not for thin lines used in illustrations.

[Auto Trapping]

When superimposing adjacent colors for printing so as not to generate a white space around a picture, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

Setting to ON prevents the generation of white lines at the boundaries of colors in graphs or figures.
