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.

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. 1-8 and "Accessing the Printer Settings Menu," on p.
1-9.

Printing Flow With This Machine
This machine supports the following three kinds of control commands:
Q 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.
Q PCL Mode
PCL (Print Control Language), developed by Hewlett-Packard, is a command system for
controlling page printers. Command versions supported by this machine are PCL5e and
PCL6.
Q PostScript Emulation Mode
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 emulation 3.
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 Direct Print
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.
1
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.

IMPORTANT
For information on how to operate Direct Print from a Remote UI, see Chapter 5, "How to
Use the Direct Print Function."
There are some print settings that cannot be specified from a Remote UI. 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
1
Printer Settings," on p. 1-8 and "Accessing the Printer Settings Menu," on p. 1-9.
With Direct Print, "Settings Menu," "PS Settings," "Imaging Settings," and "PDF1.5
Settings" are available from the touch panel display. For settings with these menus, see
Chapter 3, "Printer Settings Menu."

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.

Menu Functions
1
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.
Before You Start Using This 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.

Menu Functions
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.
