Printing Flow with This Machine

Printing with a Printer Driver

Normally, the series of operations involved in printing data from a computer is specified by control commands generated using a printer driver. Control commands are a command system for controlling a printer. For example, when printing using a printer driver, control commands print data according to the following flow.

Before You Start Using This Machine

User Software CD-ROM

REPORTREPORT

Control commands

MachineComputer

a Using a printer driver, data to be printed is converted to control commands.

b Control command data is sent to the machine.

c Following the received control commands, the machine processes and prints

the data.

NOTE

There are some print settings that cannot be specified from the printer driver. These settings are referred to as "Menu Functions" on the touch panel display. For menu configuration and how to set up the printer environment from the touch panel display, see "Menus for Printer Settings," on p. 1-11 and "Accessing the Printer Settings Menu," on p. 1-12.

Printing Flow with This Machine

Page 21

This machine supports the following three kinds of control commands:

■ UFR II Mode

UFR (Ultra Fast Rendering) is printing technology developed by Canon. High-speed printing is made possible by sharing the processing of print data normally done by the machine with the computer.

■ PCL Mode (PCL or PS Printer only)

PCL (Print Control Language), developed by Hewlett-Packard, is a command system for controlling page printers. Command versions supported by this machine are PCL5c and PCL6.

■ PostScript Emulation Mode (PS Printer only)

PS (PostScript), developed by Adobe, is a command system for controlling page printers. This mode emulates the operation of a printer in conformance with PostScript. The command version supported by this machine is PostScript 3 emulation.

IMPORTANT

•

To print in the above printer modes, a Printer Driver supported by this machine must be installed.

•

In the above printer modes, "Settings Menu" and either "UFR II Settings," "PCL Settings," or "PS Settings" are available from the touch panel display. For settings with these menus, see Chapter 3, "Printer Settings Menu."

Printing with the Direct Print Function

Printing with Direct Print can also be done with this machine. Direct Print is a print function that enables you to send PS/EPS, TIFF/JPEG, and PDF format files without using a printer driver from the computer to the machine, which recognizes the file. Therefore, you can print without the need to open files.

Before You Start Using This Machine

You can specify PS/EPS, TIFF/JPEG, and PDF files to be printed from a Remote UI. You can print a PDF file by specifying the location on your computer or URL from the Remote UI.

You can also use the Direct Print function by entering a command (LPR command) in the command prompt.

Menu Functions

This section describes the menu functions and how to access them with the touch panel display.

What Are Menu Functions?

Specifying the Menu Settings

The machine lets you specify settings, such as the number of copies and the paper size, to use when it receives a print job. These types of settings can be specified by the application sending the print job, or by the printer driver.

You can specify many settings which affect the printer function of the machine. These include some settings that cannot be specified remotely from an application or from the printer driver. These settings are referred to as "Menu Functions."

The menu functions are grouped together according to the type of settings, which makes them easy to set.

There are two ways you can specify the menu functions.

• Specifying the settings on the touch panel display:

Display the Printer Settings screen on the touch panel display and specify the settings by pressing the keys on it.

• Specifying the settings on the Remote UI:

You can specify some settings from your computer using your web browser.

NOTE

•

This guide only explains how to specify the menu settings on the touch panel display. For instructions on specifying the menu settings on the Remote UI, please refer to the Remote UI Guide.

•

The contents of the Printer Settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the machine. This means that the settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched OFF, and therefore the settings will still be available when the power is switched ON again.

Printing Secured Documents

You can print out documents (print data) that have been assigned a password and sent to this machine from a computer. Documents with a password are called

Handling Different Print Jobs

"secured documents." Secured documents sent to this machine are displayed with a locked icon ( ) in the job list in the touch panel display, and are queued for printing. To print these documents, you need to enter the correct password. This prevents unauthorized people who do not know the password from printing or accessing the documents.

IMPORTANT

•

Only a logged-in user can print secured documents (including encrypted secured documents) if a login service is being used.

•

Setting for assigning a password at the computer is made with the printer driver.

•

If the main power is turned OFF or [Reset Printer] is performed (See p. 3-100), any secured documents in the machine are erased.

•

Secured documents are erased after they are printed.

•

You cannot change the print settings of secured documents (set through the printer driver).

•

Secured documents will automatically be erased even if not printed. The Job Securing Time setting enables you to specify how long a job will be stored before it is erased. (See p. 3-26.)

•

The number of secured documents that can be stored at one time (including encrypted secured documents) is 50. If the number of jobs exceeds the maximum storable number, those jobs will be ignored.

•

A large secured print job with many pages may be canceled by the machine. A canceled secured print job does not appear on the Print Job status screen. The machine can store up to 6,000 pages per secured print job; however, if the machine is being used for other jobs or operations, such as the storing of documents in inboxes, the actual number of pages per secured print job that the machine can process is fewer than 6,000.

Printing Encrypted Secured Documents

You can print out documents (print data) that have been encrypted and sent to this machine from a computer.

Print data that are encrypted using this machine are called "encrypted secured documents." Since the data is encrypted, security is enhanced at the queued stage. Encrypted secured documents sent to this machine are displayed with a locked icon ( ) in the job list in the touch panel display, and are queued for printing. To print these documents, you need to enter the correct password. This prevents unauthorized people who do not know the password or are not logged in from printing or accessing the documents.

Document data is encrypted before being sent to this machine. This allows you to print within a more highly secured environment compared to a secured document.

For detailed information on encrypted secured documents and instructions on printing, please refer to the User's Guide included in the Encrypted Secure Print Software.

Paper Feed

■ Default Paper Size

Letter*, Legal, A4, A3, A5, 11" x 17", Executive, Statement, Envelope Monarch, Envelope COM10, Envelope ISO-B5, Envelope ISO-C5, Envelope DL, Envelope Y4, 12_5/8" x 17_11/16", and 12" x18"

This parameter defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set within the application software, when no paper source is specified.

IMPORTANT

If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper size specified in this setting. If the paper size specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper size and type. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this setting as [ON]. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings," in the Reference Guide.)

■ Default Paper Type

Plain (Thin), Plain*, Plain (Heavy), Recycled, Color, Pre-punched, Bond Paper, Heavy 1, Heavy 2, Transparency, Tracing Paper, Labels, Coated, and Envelope

3-16

Settings Menu

This parameter sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type.

IMPORTANT

If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper type specified in this setting. If the paper type specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job, and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper type and size. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this setting as [ON]. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings," in the Reference Guide.)

NOTE

•

Use the following figures as a guideline to decide whether paper should be specified as Plain Paper, Heavy Paper 1, or Heavy Paper 2.

- Plain Paper: 17 to 28 lb bond (64 to 105 g/m

)

- Heavy Paper 1: 28 lb bond to 60 lb cover (106 to 163 g/m2)

- Heavy Paper 2: 60 to 80 lb cover (164 to 220 g/m

)

■ Image Compression

Image Priority, Standard*, and Speed Priority

This setting sets the compression mode when printing image data.

Image data is compressed to be stored in the machine's memory when printing with this machine. Image quality will differ depending on the ratio of compression. The higher the compression ratio, the more image quality will deteriorate, as shown in the diagram below.

Compression

Low

ratio

High

[Image Priority] [Standard] [Speed Priority]

Quality

Low

This setting allows you to select the compression mode as desired, such as for printing high-quality image data. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this option set to [Standard].

If [Image Priority] is selected, data will be stored at a low compression ratio to minimize deterioration of image quality.

If [Speed Priority] is selected, more data will be storable in the machine's memory, allowing you to minimize any decrease in speed. However, the data will be stored at a high compression ratio, and the image quality will be lower.

NOTE

•

For all selections within this setting, if the data is too large to be stored in the machine's memory, it will be recompressed at a high compression ratio.

•

To avoid deterioration in image quality resulting from repeated recompression, select [Display Error] for Compressed Image Output (See p. 3-44). This allows you to cancel a job before an image with deterioration is printed out.

•

Depending on the image data, the image quality may not change even if the compression mode is changed.

■ Toner Volume Adjustment

Normal*, Gradation, and Text

This setting enables you to adjust the toner volume so that it falls within a restricted value when the toner volume exceeds a device-internal value for text, lines, or other types of print data. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this setting as [Normal].

If [Normal] is selected, text and line data are printed with a toner volume that upholds the resolution for text and lines. Other types of data are printed with a toner volume that upholds the color.

If [Gradation] is selected, all data is printed with a toner volume that upholds the color.

If [Text] is selected, all data is printed with a toner volume that upholds the resolution.

NOTE

•

The internal restriction value cannot be changed.

•

This setting can only be applied to jobs in the PS mode and PDF1.5 mode.

•

If [Gradation] is selected, characters and lines may bleed.

•

If [Text] is selected, the color may not match.

■ Line Control

3-20

Resolution*, Gradation

This setting enables you to specify the image processing for lines. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this setting as [Resolution].

If [Resolution] is selected, image processing is performed that upholds the same resolution as text for lines.

If [Gradation] is selected, image processing is performed that upholds the same color and gradation as graphics for lines.

NOTE

This setting can only be applied to jobs in the UFR II mode, PCL6 mode, PS mode, and PDF1.5 mode.

This setting enables you to automatically clear an error and continue printing when an error occurs (Error skip).

If [On] is selected, error skips are performed automatically.

If [Off] is selected, you must perform error skips from the touch panel display.

NOTE

•

For instructions on performing an error skip from the touch panel display, see

"Skipping an Error during Printing," on p. 2-25.

•

Error skip only temporarily clears an error, so the data may not print correctly.

This setting is valid even if multiple errors have occurred.

Job Securing Time

Printer Settings Menu

1 hour*, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours

When a secured print job is sent to the machine, it is stored on the machine's hard disk, and a password must be entered before the job can be printed. This setting specifies how long the job will be stored before it is automatically canceled.

NOTE

•

Even if the time period specified with this setting has not elapsed, the print job data is deleted if the main power to the machine is switched OFF or if you reset the printer. (See "Reset Printer," on p. 3-100.)

•

The password is set from the printer driver.

Timeout

Timeout (5 to 300 seconds), Off; 15* seconds

When the 'Personality' is set to [Auto], the machine detects the control commands and starts printing in the appropriate mode. After all the data has been received and the end of the data is detected, the print mode stops. This processing of print data is called a job.

If the data for a job does not end, the machine does not start the next job even if it receives other print commands. In cases like this, use the 'Timeout' setting to force jobs to finish if no data is received during the set period of time.

If Timeout is enabled, jobs can finish automatically. For example, if print data still remains in the machine because a form feed command cannot be processed, the paper can be fed automatically.

If Timeout is [Off], jobs will not end automatically.

IMPORTANT

•

If this function is set so that a job will timeout, the machine may end a print job before all the data has been received if it takes a long time for the PC to send the data. If this occurs, adjust the length of the 'Timeout' setting.

•

If [Off] is selected, you will not be able to make copies until print jobs that use the Staple and Punch settings have been completed.

•

If you send data from a printer driver that is not compatible with the machine, and the end of job command is not received within the time set in this setting, the machine cancels the job, which may cause the data to be printed incorrectly.

NOTE

When a job is being processed, the Processing/Data indicator on the control panel blinks green.

Print After Completing RIP

On, Off

This setting sets whether to use the Print After Completing RIP function.

RIP (Raster Image Processor) is used for advanced graphical representation.

If Print After Completing RIP is enabled, the first page is printed after all the pages in the job have been processed.

Although it may take longer to print the first page, the remaining pages in the job will be printed more quickly. This is useful when several people are using the machine or when using another function, such as the Copy function, because the printing time for a print job is reduced.

IMPORTANT

Please note that the memory of the machine can store up to 6,000 pages. When you send a secured document to be stored in the memory to be printed at a later time, and the memory is full (already reached its maximum capacity), your document will not be stored. The memory may be full because the machine is being used for other functions (such as storing a document in an inbox or storing a form) or other jobs, which use memory space.
