SELECTING THE PAPER

This section explains how to configure the "Paper Selection" setting on the [Paper] button of the printer driver properties window.

• When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source" The tray that has the size and type of paper selected in "Paper Size" and "Paper Type" on the [Paper] button is automatically selected.

• When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source" The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting.

When [Bypass Tray] is selected

The "Paper Type" must also be selected. Check the bypass tray and make sure that the desired type of paper is loaded, and then select the appropriate "Paper Type" setting.

When "Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray" (disabled by factory default) or "Enable Selected Paper Type in Bypass Tray" (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator), printing will not take place if the paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings of the bypass tray.

• When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type" A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Paper Size" is automatically selected. (The factory default setting is plain paper only.)

• When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type" A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Paper Size" is used for printing.

System Settings (Administrator): Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select

When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Selection", specify whether or not the paper in the bypass tray will be excluded from the paper that can be selected. This setting is disabled by factory default, and thus paper in the bypass tray is included in the paper that can be automatically selected. If special media are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended that this setting be enabled.

PRINTING WHEN THE USER AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION IS ENABLED

When the user authentication function is enabled in the machine's system settings (administrator), your user information (login name, password, etc.) must be entered in the printer driver properties window before you can print. The information that must be entered varies depending on the authentication method being used, so check with the administrator of the machine before printing.

Open the XPS printer driver properties window from the print window of the software application.

When user authentication is enabled in the system settings (administrator), black and white printing is normally possible without entering user information.

System Settings (Administrator): Disable Printing by Invalid User

This is used to prohibit printing of print jobs by users whose user information is not stored in the machine. When this function is enabled, printing is not allowed when user information is not entered or incorrect information is entered.

SAVING FREQUENTLY USED PRINT SETTINGS

You can save print settings selected when printing. Saving frequently used settings or complex colour settings under an assigned name makes it easy to select those settings the next time you need to use them.

SAVING SETTINGS AT THE TIME OF PRINTING

Settings can be saved from any screen of the printer driver properties window. Settings are listed at the time of saving, allowing you to check the settings as you save them.
