IMPORTANT
|
|
After registering the license for the Direct Print Kit, make sure you restart the machine and perform the procedure in "Reset Printer." The Direct Print function is only activated when the license has been registered, the machine has been restarted, and the printer settings have been initialized.
The touch panel display settings for use with Direct Print are 'Common Settings', 'Imaging Settings', 'PDF Settings', and 'XPS Settings'. For more information on the settings for 'Common Settings', 'Imaging Settings', 'PDF Settings', and 'XPS Settings', see "Function Settings: Printer."
Even in cases where you cannot print a file or if the print output is out of alignment using the Direct Print function, you may still be able to open the file in an application and print it using the printer driver.
|
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
The Direct Print Kit (for PDF/XPS) or PS Printer Kit is required to print a PDF file without opening it.
|
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
If you attempt to print a file without entering the password, the message <PDL PDF Data Decode Err> is displayed, and printing is canceled. To print PDF files that forbid printing, or to print PDF files that only allow low-resolution printing in high resolution, enter the master password.
|
|
NOTE
|
|
To print by specifying a URL, it is necessary to set [Use Reference Print] to 'On' in [Remote UI] in [Management Settings] (Settings/Registration).
If you specify to print a PDF file by entering its URL, the next print job cannot be processed until the download of the PDF file is complete or until the browser has disconnected from the Web server.
Only the HTTP protocol is supported for the printing of a PDF file by entering its URL.
|
|
[Resolution]
|
This setting specifies the resolution for printing.
Resolution is expressed in units of dpi (dots per inch), indicating the number of dots in one inch. The higher the value, the greater the resolution, allowing finer expression of detail. If [600 dpi] is selected, you can perform printing suited to general documents and tables.
If [1200 dpi] is selected, characters and lines can be finely printed.
|
|
[Halftones]
|
This setting specifies how to express halftones in black and white data.
Print data is expressed in dots. Fine gradations, edges, and shades are expressed by using dither patterns, which are groups of dots. This is called halftone processing. If [Resolution] is selected, you can print text with distinct outlines, which is best to print text and thin lines.
If [Gradation] is selected, you can print with both smooth gradation and outlines, which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.
If [High Resolution] is selected, finer printing can be done than with [Resolution], although toner stability is somewhat weaker. This is suited to printing small characters and fine lines, and outlines (such as from CAD data) sharply.
|
|
[Grayscale Conversion]
|
You can select ways to convert color values to a grayscale value when you print color print data.
[sRGB] lets you to calculate the grayscale value by the color conversion method based on sRGB.
[NTSC] lets you to calculate the grayscale value by the color conversion method based on NTSC.
[Uniform RGB] counts the average value of the Red, Green, and Blue values as the grayscale value.
This setting allows you to convert the color data into grayscale data.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
|
|
