Software Switch Setting: Setting the Software Switch

1

When choosing the PDF direct print, the paper size should be identified by using the CropBox value (trimmed size), instead of using the MediaBox (media size) value as is normally the case.

The paper size will be identified by using the CropBox value (trimmed size) for the PDF file.

2

When using the LPR command to group multiple print jobs in a single file, the operation terminates with an error and does not complete the output.

Regardless of the spool setting for the Controller, the job will be executed upon receiving the entire data (file). Note that this setting may slow down the printing performance.

Important:

When changing this setting, make sure to turn off the main power switch and then turn it back on in order to retain the setting.

[Receivable Max. File Size] per file is 2 GB for this operation. The change of this setting will not affect other larger files.

4

During output of multiple PostScript data in a single file over network, multiple data are grouped in a single job and output.

Ctrl-D will be taken as a job delimiter, and data will be output as multiple jobs.

5

During output of multiple PostScript data in a single file via USB interface, a single job is divided into multiple jobs and output. Or, an error page may be output instead.

Ctrl-D will not be taken as a job delimiter, and data will be output as a single job.

7

When outputting multiple jobs in one collective file,whether or not to distinguish the output as multiple jobs by treating the PJL JOBNAME and PJL EOJ NAME commands as separators should be selectable.

Setting value:

Off: Output in one collective file without dividing the output into multiple jobs.

12

A file name specified by the LPR command should be displayed as the Job Name on the Job List of this machine, rather than displaying the job name that has been set by this machine or printer driver.

The job list will display file names specified in the LPR command as job names.

13

Attempting to install fonts with the Font Management Utility results in a time-out error.

Time-out errors will be avoided. Note that the font list of the Font Management Utility will display [HDD] as the font types for RAM fonts.

15

On Mac OS X or later, selecting cover sheet insertion and multiple print output results in an output of only one copy.

Prints will be output as the specified number of copies.

Note that an error page may be output for a job if it contains font data or EPS data.

16

The banner page should be printed if the LPR command (-J) is used in the Mac OS.

The banner page will be output.

Note that the banner will also be output when using the LPR port from the printer driver.

18

The machine can improve the print speed for PS font list by not outputting samples of downloaded fonts but providing font names only on the font list.

36

When PCL/TIFF/XPS data of mixed originals (A4 /) is output, landscape originals can have a binding position different from that of the same originals output from the PS driver.

The binding position will be kept similar to that in output from the PS driver.

38

Since printing with Linux always results in banner output, this banner output should be disabled.

Disable the LPR command -C option (banner generation).

Setting value:

Off: Enable -C option

On: Disable -C option

40

A file stored in the Direct Print hot folder should be printed using a paper size that is closest to that of the original in the paper tray.

When the output paper size is set to [Auto], the output tray is set to [Auto], and this setting is set to [On], the paper size closest to the original size is selected from the paper trays. However, if there is no appropriate paper, the original is printed in the paper size normally selected by APS (Auto Paper).

In general use, the profile for converting CMYK data to gray scale is different between CPSI and APPE. The CPSI profile is used for normal operations. If the APPE profile is used for high-density photograph data created by CMYK, the image quality may be enhanced. Therefore, the setting should be updated so that the user can use a profile equivalent to the APPE profile.

159

In general use, the black density 100% area of original data cannot be output with a black density of 100% because the gradation of the CMYK high-density part is reproduced in the APPE profile for converting CMYK data to gray scale. Therefore, the target data should be forcibly output with a black density of 100%.

Configure a setting so that a black density of 100% can be maintained for an image object.

Setting value
