If you want to specify the pages to print by the page number, click [Pages] → enter the page numbers. Only the setting for the item whose radio button is selected will be effective.

  1. Specify the settings under [Print Settings] according to your preference.

Details of each menu are shown below.

[Color Mode] This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.
  • If [Auto-Color Select] 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.
[No. of Copies] This setting enables you to specify the number of copies printed.
[Paper Size] This setting specifies the output paper size.
  • If [Auto] is selected, the most appropriate paper source is selected according to the PDF file page size.
  • If a setting other than [Auto] is selected, the file is printed so that the orientation of the long edge of the PDF file page size and the long edge of the selected paper matches.
If the PDF file page size exceeds the largest or smallest size of the user defined paper, jobs are canceled. (They are not included in the Prints count.)
[Paper Type] This setting specifies the output paper type.
[Image Orientation] This setting specifies whether to print an image vertically or horizontally.
  • If [Auto] is selected, orientation is automatically adjusted by comparing length and width of the image. If the width is greater, the image is printed horizontally. If the length is greater, the image is printed vertically.
  • If [Vertical] is selected, the image is printed vertically regardless of its dimensions.
  • If [Horizontal] is selected, the image is printed horizontally regardless of its dimensions.
[Print Position] This setting specifies the print position for the image.
  • If [Auto] is selected, the image is printed in the specified position of the paper if the print position for the image is specified. If the print position is not specified, the image is printed in the center of the paper.
  • If [Center] is selected, the image is printed in the center of the paper regardless of whether the print position of the image is specified.
  • If [Top Left] is selected, the image is printed in the top left of the paper regardless of whether the print position of the image is specified.
[Zoom] This setting enlarges or reduces the size of an image to match the printable area of the paper size specified.
If [Auto] is selected, the size of the image is automatically enlarged or reduced to match the printable area of the specified paper size. If the size of the image is larger than the printable area, it is automatically reduced. If the size of the image is smaller than the printable area, it is automatically enlarged.
[Enlarge Print Area] This setting specifies whether to enlarge the printable area to the edge of the paper.
[Print 2-Sided] This setting specifies whether to print on one-side or both sides of the paper.
[Binding Location] This setting specifies whether to place the binding position along the long edge or the short edge of the paper. If the margin is specified on the touch panel display, the binding margin position is automatically adjusted on the front and back sides of the paper.
For more information, see "Gutter."
[Show Warnings] This setting specifies the action to be taken if an error associated with printing an image occurs on the machine.
  • If [On] is selected, an error message is displayed.
  • If [Off] is selected, an error message is not displayed.
[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 [Gradation] is selected, you can print with both smooth gradation and outlines, which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.
  • If [Resolution] is selected, you can print text with distinct outlines, which is best to print text and thin lines.
  • If [Error Diffusion] 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.
[Matching Mode] This setting enables you to set the type of color matching method to apply for each text, graphics, and image that make the print job, or for each color space, such as RGB and CMYK.
  • If [ICC Profile] is selected, you can select the matching method to compensate the difference between the color spaces used for the input profile (applied to the color space used for input data) and the output profile (defines device dependent color space).
  • If [Kyuanos] is selected, you can select the type of the ambient light used on the printed documents in the space displayed on the monitor that matches the printed document.
[Monitor Color Space] This setting enables you to match the prints to the monitor display (sRGB or Adobe RGB).
  • If [sRGB] is selected, color matching is performed to match prints to an sRGB compatible monitor.
  • If [Adobe RGB] is selected, color matching is performed to match prints to an Adobe RGB compatible monitor.
[Environment Light] This setting enables you to specify the high color rendering setting to perform color matching for each print job.
  • If [D50] is selected, ambient light compensation is performed to match high color temperature of 5,000 K.
  • If [D65] is selected, ambient light compensation is performed to match high color temperature of 6,500 K.
[Photo Optimizer PRO] You can adjust the contrast, color balance, saturation, and balance for images.
  • If [On] is selected, Photo Optimizer PRO is performed on the image.
  • If [Off] is selected, the machine will not perform Photo Optimizer PRO.
  • This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
  • If the color mode is set to [Black and White], 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 settings for each type of data: [Red-Eye Correction] and [Red-Eye Correction Level].
  • If [On] is selected, red-eye correction is performed on the image.
  • If [Off] is selected, red-eye correction is not performed.
  • 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.
[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 settings for each type of data: [Face Brightener] and [Face Brightener Level].
  • If [On] is selected, Face Brightener is performed on the image.
  • If [Off] is selected, Face Brightener is not performed.
  • 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.
[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 section describes the settings to convert the color data into grayscale data.
  • This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
  • If the color mode is set to [Auto Detect] or [Full Color], this setting is invalid.
[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.
  • [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.
  • This setting is only applied if 'CMS (Matching)/Gamma' is set to [CMS].
[CMYK Simulation Profile] This setting allows you to specify the simulation target to print the CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK) data. The machine converts CMYK data into a device dependent CMYK color model based on the simulation target selected in the CMYK Simulation Profile.
  • [JapanColor(Canon]
    This setting uses the JapanColor(Canon profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Japan.
  • [US Web Ctd(Canon]
    This setting uses the U.S. Web Coated profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in the USA.
  • [Euro Standard]
    This setting uses the Euro Standard profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Europe.
  • [Download Profile]
    This setting uses custom simulation target that you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. You can store up to 100 profiles.
  • You may not be able to use all the profiles that are available. If color data is printed in gray using a downloaded profile, check the downloaded profile for compatibility.
  • If the machine receives data with a device independent (CIE based) color space definition, it is color processed with the specified settings. Therefore 'CMYK Simulation Profile' is not applied by the machine.
  • When [None] is selected, areas of dark color may be blotchy depending on the data.
[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.
  • [Normal]
    This setting prints the colors closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor.
  • [Photo]
    This setting prints colors close to photographic prints.
  • This setting is only applied if "CMS(Matching)/Gamma" is set to [CMS].
  • This section describes the settings to convert the color data into grayscale data.
  • This setting is invalid for black-and-white data.
  • If the color mode is set to [Auto Detect] or [Full Color], this setting is invalid.
[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.
  • [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.
[Perform Gray Compensation] This setting determines whether only black (K) toner is used. If you enable this option, black and gray data is printed using the black (K) toner only, which lessens toner bleeding.
