∗ Top margin
The set value is received from the digital copier, and data are made
according to the set value.
∗ Left margin
Since the paper size sensor is not set, the digital copier cannot recognize the size and direction of paper which is actually inserted.
Therefore, the left margin is set according to the paper size specified in
the print data sent from the computer, and print process is performed.
If the computer does not specify the paper size, or in the case of the
custom size, the left margin is set according to the default paper size.
F. Print reference
This machine employs the center reference system.
Since the digital copier is not provided with the tray size detection feature, formatting and center distribution are performed not by the actual
paper size but by the paper size specified by the computer.

Description
Sets whether toner save mode is in
effect or not. Toner is saved by
printing a little lighter. When the
resolution is 1200dpi, toner save
does not function.
Sets the page orientation for printing.
Specify "PORTRAIT" to print the
paper with its long side (longer edge)
vertical. Specify "LANDSCAPE" to
print the paper with its long side
(longer edge) horizontal.
Sets the size of the paper where
data will be printed. If this size is
different from the paper size present
in the tray, the size set for this item
takes precedence.
* Depending on where the printer
was purchased, the default value is
either "A4" or "Letter".
Sets the tray used for paper feeding.
When set to "Auto," the tray loaded
with the paper set by "Default paper
size" is automatically selected.
* Tray 3 and 4 (option) can be
selected only when installed.
Select the paper type to be used.
When set to "Auto," the tray loaded
with the paper set by "Default paper
size" is automatically selected.
Sets whether smoothing is done or
not. Angles and curves included in an
image are smoothed to improve the
image quality. If smoothing is set
when the resolution is set to 600dpi,
an image corresponding to 1200dpi is
printed. (Printing at 1200dpi provides
a higher print quality, but consumes a
greater memory space, resulting in a
low print speed. When the resolution
is set to 1200dpi, smoothing cannot
be selected.) To print a bitmap image,
it is better not to select smoothing to
have a better print quality.
Sets the printing resolution. When
1200dpi is selected, smoothing and
toner save cannot be selected.
Since 1200dpi printing consumes a
large memory space, resulting in a
low print speed.
