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.

	c
a	User Software CD-ROM
		RREEPPOORRTT
	b
	Control commands
	Print	1
		2
		3

Computer

Machine

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

b Control command data is sent to the machine.

cFollowing 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.

1-2 Printing Flow with This Machine

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.

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.

Personality

The machine can distinguish between computer-sent control commands and Direct Print data and automatically switch personalities. However, in instances such as where received control commands are exclusively defined or the machine does not automatically switch to the appropriate personality, please set the Personality to match received data. The machine enables you to switch the personality and set specifications for printing using the menu functions on the touch panel display. (See "Personality," on p. 3-42.)

1-8 Personality

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.

Settings Priorities

When the same menu function setting can be specified by using the keys on the machine or by specifying the setting in an application or the printer driver, the setting from the application or printer driver has priority. These settings will override the settings made on the machine.

For settings available only on the touch panel display or Remote UI, the most recently specified settings take priority.

	Setting priority
High			Low
Application			Touch panel display
Printer driver			Remote UI

The printer driver is included on the CD-ROM provided with the machine. For instructions on installing the printer driver, see Chapter 2, "Installing Software," in the Network Quick Start Guide.

Settings priorities for Direct Printing

For items available only on the menu functions, the most recently specified settings take priority for items specified via the touch panel display or from the 'Additional Functions' menu in the Remote UI.

Settings specified in 'Direct Print' menu of the Remote UI take priority over settings specified from the touch panel display or from the 'Additional Functions' menu in the Remote UI.

Furthermore, settings specified in the touch panel display take priority over settings specified with tags in the IFD (Image File Directory), which are held in the header of TIFF data of an image file.

		Setting priority
	High			Low
	[Direct Print] menu			[Additional Functions] menu
	in the Remote UI			in the Remote UI
	Touch panel display			Tag for TIFF data

Some functions specified with tags held in the header of TIFF data may not take priority.
