• Color Profile

Use this to select a color rendering dictionary (CRD). The CRD is referred to for color matching, so you should select the appropriate CRD for the document you are printing.

Note

❒ When selecting [OHP Transparency] as the paper type, the CRD automat-

ically adjusts to a color profile specifically for OHP. Even though the color profile has been optimized for OHP, the adjustments are automatic and are not indicated on any of the dialog boxes. In this case, this setting is not enabled.

Use this setting to enhance the reproduction of photos and graphics that include midtones.

*2

Use this setting to enhance the reproduction of documents that contain text and graphics. This CRD is best for printing colored charts, graphs, presentation materials and etc. If you use this CRD for printing photographs, color or gradations might not be reproduced well.

*3

Use this setting to print specific colors, logos and so on.

• Toner Saving

Use this to set Toner Saving to [On] or [Off].

Note

❒ Turning on toner saving can cause the output to become blurred and re-

sult in very thin lines not printing at all. In the case of color printing, toner saving can cause colors to be different from those expected. Because of this, use toner saving only for proofing and intermediate drafts, and turn it off for final prints when top quality is important.

• Black Text/Graphics

Use this to select the black color mode to [K] or [CMY+K].

18

Note

❒ If [K] is selected, the black parts of text and graphics are printed with

only black toner.

Using RICOH-SCRIPT2 with Windows

Windows Network Environment

PostScript data sent to the printer is processed by an interpreter. The interpreter translates programs written in the ASCII code line-by-line into a form that can be recognized by the printer.

When the printer is connected to the computer via a parallel cable, PostScript data is processed in units called “jobs”, and each job should have an EOF (End Of File = Ctrl+D) to indicate the end of the data to the printer. The printer continues to perform processing with the interpreter until receiving the EOF.

When the printer is connected to a network, and since the network protocol controls the transferred data of jobs, the EOF is not required. Be sure to turn off the EOF.

❖❖❖❖ Windows 95/98/Me

Open the [PostScript] tab on the Printer Properties. Then click [Advanced]. Click to clear [Send CTRL+D after job] and [Send CTRL+D before job].

❖❖❖❖ Windows 2000

Open the [Device Settings] tab on the Printer Properties. Select [No] for both [Send CTRL+D after job] and [Send CTRL+D before job].

❖❖❖❖ Windows NT 4.0

Open the [Advanced] tab on the Default Document Properties. Under [Post- Script Options], select [No] for both [Send CTRL-D After Each Job] and [Send CTRLD Before Each Job].

20

Windows Headers

Headers are appended to the print data and contain RICOH-SCRIPT2 commands required for proper printing. The default setting appends the headers to the data automatically for each print job so you can print without worrying about the header data. You can configure how header data is sent to the printer with Windows 95/98/Me.

Important

❒ Changing header settings should be performed by system administrators

who are familiar with the functions of PostScript.

Sending Header Data

There are two methods for sending header data.

❖❖❖❖ Send header data for each print job (default)

Use this setting when printing data to a file and when printing to a shared network printer. Select [Download header with each print job] on the [PostScript] tab to enable this method.

1

❖❖❖❖ Send header to printer only once

This setting causes the header data to be stored in the printer memory, so jobs sent after the header data has already been sent are printed more quickly. Select [Assume header is downloaded and retained] on the [PostScript] tab to enable this method. To use this setting, you should send the header data to the printer in advance, so click [Send Header Now].

Note

❒ Header data in the printer memory is cleared whenever the printer power

is turned off, the printer is reset, or you switch to another type of the printer language. Printing without header data results in an error, so be careful when sending header data individually.

Note

❒ When the header data is sent to the printer, a message to inform you that the

header has been sent is printed.

❒ If you send a print job to the printer without the header, a message to inform

you to send the header is printed. In this case, select [Assume header is down- loaded and retained], or [Send Header Now] to send the header data to the printer. If the header has already been stored in the printer memory, a message is printed informing you that it has been stored.

Using RICOH-SCRIPT2 with a Macintosh

You can use the LaserWriter printer driver that comes with your Macintosh when printing. However, if you use the LaserWriter driver alone, you lose some printer functions. The lost printer functions can be added by installing the PPD file.

This documentation describes the specific printer functions and menus that are added by installing the PPD file. For details about the functions and menus of the LaserWriter printer driver, see the printer driver's Help.

Option Setup Dialog

Note

❒ Be sure to configure the options correctly. If not configured correctly, options

will not be available even though they are physically installed to the printer.

❒ If you do not know the amount of memory you need to select here, print a

configuration page, which shows how much memory is currently installed to the printer. ⇒ P.31 “Printer Memory and VM Area”

❖❖❖❖ Total Printer Memory

Use this to select the amount of memory actually installed in the printer. The following items are available: [32 MB], [64 MB], [96 MB], [128 MB], [160 MB], [192 MB] and [256 MB].

❖❖❖❖ Option Tray

Use this to select if the optional tray is installed in the printer. The following items are available: [None] and [Tray 2].

❒ The “VM” of the PostScript printer is the memory area outside of the page

memory and program area. If the data sent from the computer is very complex, printing may not be possible because of insufficient printer memory. This is called a “VM error”.

Precautions for RICOH-SCRIPT2

Difference in Description

The differences between RICOH-SCRIPT2 and PostScript Level 2 as defined in the “PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition” by Adobe Systems Incorporated are described below.

• RICOH-SCRIPT2 does not support the “user path cache” function, therefore the print processing speed may be reduced when this function is called by any PostScript program. This function originated in Display PostScript, and it is not used by most printer drivers.

• RICOH-SCRIPT2 does not support “automatic garbage collection”. Instead, a similar routine is implemented by the printer drivers with the “save/restore” operators. Not having this function does not create any problems.

Other Precautions

3

• Because of the differences in image, graphics, and clipping rules, the printing results produced by any single draw operator might be out of place by one dot.

• The free memory space used for downloading fonts may not be sufficient. A VM error might occur when downloading fonts with insufficient VM memory. In this case, the print job may be canceled. However, this printer will restart RICOH-SCRIPT2 automatically.

• Lasertalk version 1.3 is not supported.

• Built-in font metric data may be different from the PostScript fonts.

• Type 1 fonts conform to the Adobe Type 1 font format (1.1) standard. How-

ever, some Type 1 fonts with outline transposition (self-interference) may not print correctly.

• When printing text without using “font hint data” downloaded from the ap- plication, enlarged or reduced fonts may print incorrectly.

• When using the PostScript printer driver with Windows applications, the printed result might not match the preview on the computer screen.
