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.
|
|
[Gradation]
|
This setting specifies the resolution for printing.
If you select [Standard], two-color (1 bit/pixel) gradation is used for printing.
If you select [High 1], four-color (2 bit/pixel) gradation is used for printing.
If you select [High 2], 16-color (4 bit/pixel) gradation is used for printing.
|
|
[Halftones]
|
You can set how to express color halftones.
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 you select [Gradation], you can print with both smooth gradation and outlines, which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.
If you select [Resolution], you can print text with distinct outlines, which is best to print text and thin lines.
If you select [Error Diffusion], 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.
[Err Diffusion(600dpi Only)] (Invalid at 1200 dpi) is invalid in the following cases:
[Err Diffusion(600dpi Only)] (Invalid at 1200 dpi) is not set for [Text], [Graphics], and [Image].
[Resolution] is set to [1200 dpi].
|
|
[Advanced Smoothing]
|

[Smooth 2] performs a higher level of smoothing than [Smooth 1]. If [Smooth 1] is selected and the results are still not printed smoothly, select [Smooth 2].
By selecting for 'Graphics' and 'Text', you can select whether to apply smoothing to graphics or text data.
This setting allows you to apply smoothing to graphics data and text data. Smoothing is not applied to image data.
The setting for 'Text' is invalid if 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi].
"Graphics" and "Text" can only be selected when [Smooth 1] or [Smooth 2] is selected for Advanced Smoothing.
Settings for "Graphics" and "Text" on this setting will be effective only if 'Printer Default' is set for Advanced Smoothing in the printer driver.
The results of Advanced Smoothing may differ depending on the characters and graphics patterns.
|
|
[Color Mode]
|
This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.
If [Auto (Color/Black)] or [Full Color] is selected, the machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
If [Black] is selected, data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in color.
|
|
[RGB Source Profile]
|
This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (color data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing color images or graphics made by the RGB color model.

This setting provides a close match to the RGB color value of the machine's printing range. |
|
[Use Grayscale Profile]
|
You can convert device dependent gray data into CMYK data by using the Grayscale Profile of the machine. However, the data may be reproduced using only the black (K) toner, depending upon the Pure Black Text or Output Profile.
|
|
[Pure Black Text]
|
This setting affects the printout for black (R=G=B=0% or C=M=Y=100%/Bk=N%) text on a page. Under most circumstances it is preferable to leave this option selected. If you enable this option, black colors generated by applications are printed using only 100% black toner. This means that the color toner will not be misaligned since only one toner color (black) is used.
|
|
[Black Overprint]
|
This setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text when printing black text over a color background or graphics. If you enable this option, you can overprint black text. When this setting is used in combination with the Pure Black Text option, the machine first prints the full color background, then lays the black text on the top of the color background as 100% K (black) toner. Overprinting also reduces misalignment of colors and a halo effect that can appear around the edge of the text.
|
|
[Perform Composite Overprinting]
|
You can overprint device-dependent CMYK data as composite output. All colors used for data are overlaid and printed on one plate so you can check the finished result without separating the colors.
|
|
[Brightness]

[RGB Source Profile]
|
This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (color data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing color images or graphics made by the RGB color model.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
[sRGB]
This setting specifies the industry standard definition for generic Windows computer monitors. If you are using an sRGB compatible monitor, you can print out colors close to how they appear on your monitor. [Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], and [Gamma 2.4]
These settings enable you to select the gamma correct level of the RGB data. The higher the value, the darker the printout.
[Download Profile]
This setting specifies the profiles you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. You can store up to 100 profiles.
|
|
[Output Profile]
|
This setting allows you to define the profile that is appropriate for the data you are going to print. It is applied to all data in the print job, so make sure the selected profile is right for your job.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
[Normal]
This setting prints the color closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor. [Photo]
This setting prints colors close to photographic prints. |
|
[Matching Method]
|
This setting allows you to specify a method of printing when the RGB Source Profile is applied. This machine includes a color management system that provides the following color rendering styles.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
[Perceptual]
This setting produces the best results for photographic or bitmapped images. [Saturation]
This setting is best suited for printing illustrations and diagrams used in business presentations. [Colorimetric]
This setting provides a close match to the RGB color value of the machine's printing range. |
|
[Gamma Correction]
|
The brightness of printing can be adjusted to not lose the brightest and darkest portions of the original data. For example, this setting is made when the printout is brighter than the original image (original photograph before being scanned, graphics created on a monitor, etc.) or when wanting to change the brightness before printing. The higher the value, the darker the printout. [1.4] is the value for an uncorrected (default) state.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data. |
|
[Photo Optimizer PRO]
|
You can adjust the contrast, color balance, saturation, and balance for images.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
If the color mode is set to [Black], this setting is invalid.
|
|
[Red-Eye Correction]
|
Detects and corrects red-eyes on photographs occurred because of the flash or electronic flash when photographing. You can also make corrections when only half of the face is shown on the photograph. You can specify the correction level in [Level].
If [Weak] is selected, correction level is small.
If [Standard] is selected, correction level is between 'Weak' and 'Strong'.
If [Strong] is selected, correction level is big.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
If the color mode is set to [Black], this setting is invalid.
|
|
[Face Brightener]
|
If faces in the photographs appear dark because of backlight or underexposure, you can correct the brightness of the entire image to obtain the desired brightness for faces. You can specify the correction level in [Level].
If [Weak] is selected, correction level is small.
If [Standard] is selected, correction level is between 'Weak' and 'Strong'.
If [Strong] is selected, correction level is big.
This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
If the color mode is set to [Black], this setting is invalid.
The effect differs, depending on the data.
|
|
[Grayscale Conversion]
|
You can select ways to convert color values to a grayscale value when you print color print data.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image 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.
This setting is valid only if the color mode is set to [Black].
|
|
[Perform Gray Compensation]
|
This setting determines whether only black (K) toner is used.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
If [On] is selected, black and gray data is printed using the black (K) toner only, which lessens toner bleeding.
If [Off] is selected, black and gray data is printed using all four (CMYK) toners. Gradation reproducibility of dark areas improves in comparison to [On].
|
|
[No. of Copies]
|
This setting enables you to specify the number of copies printed.
|
|
[Paper Size]
|
