Menu Functions
This section describes the menu functions and how to access them using the touch
panel display.
The basic settings, such as the number of copies and the paper size, can be
specified by the application sending the print job or by the printer driver. The
machine, however, has more printer settings including those that cannot be
specified remotely from an application or from the printer driver. “Menu Functions”
include both of these types of settings. The menu functions are grouped together
according to the type of settings, making them easy to set.
There are two ways to specify the menu settings, as follows.
4

Customizing Settings
• Specifying the settings on the touch panel display:
Display the Printer Settings screen on the touch panel display and specify the
settings by pressing the appropriate keys on the screen.
• Specifying the settings on the Remote UI:
You can specify some settings from your computer using your web browser.

NOTE
• This guide only explains how to specify the menu settings on the touch panel display.
For instructions on how to specify the menu settings on the Remote UI, see the
Remote UI Guide.
• The Printer Settings are stored in the machine’s nonvolatile memory. Therefore, the
settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched OFF, and they will still
be available when the power is switched ON again.

Menu Functions 4-3

 Setting Priorities
When the particular menu function setting can be specified either by using the
touch panel display on the machine or by specifying the setting in an application or
the printer driver, the setting from the application or printer driver will override the
settings made on the touch panel display on the machine.
For settings available only on the touch panel display or Remote UI, the most
recently specified settings take priority.

Customizing Settings
This setting defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set from the
printer driver in the computer, or when no paper source is specified.

IMPORTANT
If you are printing from a computer that does not have the appropriate printer driver for
the machine, make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper
size selected for this setting. If paper of the selected size is missing in any of the paper
sources, the machine displays an error message on the touch panel display and
suspends further printing. If no paper source has been selected through the
application, the machine automatically selects the default printer setting for the paper
size. (See Chapter 3, “Configuring the Machine’s Basic Settings,” in the Reference
Guide.)

Settings Menu 4-7

 Default PaperType
Plain, Color, Recycled, Heavy Paper 1, Heavy Paper 2, Heavy Paper 3, Bond,
3HOLE PUNCH PAPER, Transparency, Labels, ENVELOPE

defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type. For more information on paper
types, see Chapter 7, “Appendix,” in the Reference Guide.

IMPORTANT
If you are printing from a computer that does not have the appropriate printer driver for
the machine, make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper
type selected for this setting. If paper of the selected type is missing in any of the
paper sources, the machine displays an error message on the touch panel display and
suspends further printing. If no paper source has been selected through the

Customizing Settings
Auto Continue
Off, On
This setting enables you to automatically clear an error and continue printing when an error
occurs (Error skip).
If [Off] is selected, you must perform error skips from the touch panel display.
If [On] is selected, error skips are performed automatically.

NOTE
• Error skip only temporarily clears an error, so the data may not print correctly.
• This setting is valid even if multiple errors have occurred.

Settings Menu 4-13

 Timeout
On (5 to 300sec), Off; 15sec
The Timeout setting enables the machine to discard a print job that remains in the machine’s
memory after a specified period of time.
This setting is useful when the data for the current job has some error and prevents the
machine from performing further printing. In this case, the machine will not receive other print
commands because it performs printing in chronological order (jobs are printed in the order
they are received).
If the Timeout setting is enabled, the current job is discarded automatically after the specified
period of time. For example, if the Timeout is enabled at ‘20 sec’, the data for the current job
will be erased from the machine’s memory 20 seconds after the machine starts processing
the data.
4
If [Off] is selected, the machine will not discard jobs automatically.
Customizing Settings

IMPORTANT
• This setting applies only for PCL and PS data.
• If a job that consists of a large amount of data is sent from a computer, the function
may cause the machine to end the print job before all of the data is received. In this
case, set a longer timeout period (in seconds).
• If [Off] is selected, you will not be able to make copies until print jobs that use the
Staple mode are complete.

NOTE
When a job is being processed, the Processing/Data indicator blinks on the control
panel.

Halftones
Text: Resolution, High Resolution, Tone, Gradation
Graphics: Tone, Gradation, Resolution, High Resolution
Image: Tone, Gradation, Resolution, High Resolution
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.
For example, using a pattern that sharpens character and line edges, or a pattern that
smoothens image and graph gradation, enables you to obtain the most suitable texture.
[Tone]: Select to print with sharp gradation and well-balanced texture,
contrasting light and shade. Best for printing images.
[Gradation]: Select to print with both smooth gradation and outlines. Best for 4
printing graphs and graphics that use gradation.

5
Cause 2 Power cord is not connected.
Troubleshooting

Remedy Check the power cord and make sure it is connected at both ends.

Cause 3 No power at the AC outlet.

Remedy Check the AC outlet. Consult an electrician or the local power company. If you
are using a power strip, ensure that the power lead is connected at the source
and turned ON.

Printing does not start.

Cause 1 Output tray is full of paper during the print job. (When the optional Inner
Finisher-B1 is set up, the selected tray is full of paper.)

Remedy Remove the paper in the tray.

Cause 2 The machine and host computer are not properly connected.

Remedy Check the cable connection between the host computer and the machine. (See
Chapter 1, “Machine Installation,” in the User’s Guide.)

Cause 3 A failure occurred in the machine or an optional device.

Remedy Follow the instructions in the message on the touch panel display.

5-2 Identifying and Isolating Problems

Cause 4 The paper size loaded in the drawer is different from the paper size you have set
up in the application software, or the appropriate paper size you have set for
enlarging or reducing the copy is not loaded.

Remedy 1 Change the paper in the selected drawer to the paper size you have set in the
application software (or to the size you have set for enlarging/reducing copy),
and then print again.

Remedy 2 Select the drawer with the appropriate paper size you have set up in the
application software (or to the size you have set for enlarging/reducing copy),
and then print again.

Cause 5 The paper in the drawer or the stack bypass has run out.

Remedy Load more paper.

The machine does not work.

Cause There is a problem with the machine or software.

5
Remedy Follow the instructions in the message on the touch panel display.

Troubleshooting
You cannot print a job or store a job.

Cause The total number of pages in all jobs has exceeded the limit which can be
processed.

Remedy 1 Delete other processes, cancel other jobs being processed, or wait until those
jobs are finished, and then print again.

Remedy 2 Divide the job, and then print again.

Paper is excessively curled after coming out of the machine.

Cause You may be using paper that curls too easily.

Remedy 1 Remove the paper stack, turn it over, reload it in the drawer and try again.

Remedy 2 Make sure that the paper meets the paper requirements. (See Chapter 7,
“Appendix,” in the Reference Guide.)

High jam rates, incorrect feeding, or multiple sheet feed errors.

Cause You may be using unsuitable paper.

Remedy Always use paper that is suitable for the machine. (See Chapter 2, “Basic
Operations,” in the Reference Guide.)

Identifying and Isolating Problems 5-3

 The service call (E730) appears when using the PS functions.

Some Basic Facts about Fonts
This section summarizes some of the basic facts you should know about fonts.

What Is a Font?
A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In
general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a
font. A font consists of the letters A to Z in both upper and lowercase, as well as
numerals and symbols.
The design that distinguishes one font from another is referred to as a “typeface.”
Each font has a typeface name, such as Courier, CG Times, Letter Gothic, etc.

Attributes of Fonts
6
All fonts share some common characteristics, called “attributes.” The typeface is

Appendix
one such attribute. The letters and symbols that are actually printed are determined
by these attributes.

The design of the letters (e.g. Courier, CG Times, Helvetica, or

Typeface
Gothic).
The thickness of the lines with which the letters are drawn (e.g.
Stroke Weight
bold, medium, or light).
Whether the letters are drawn straight or at an angle (e.g.
Style
upright or italic).
Point Size Height of the letters (e.g. 10 point or 5 point).
Number of characters that are printed in one inch (e.g. 10 cpi,
Pitch (cpi)
12 cpi, or Scale).
Character Width (Fixed/ Indicates whether the character width is set to “Fixed” or
PS) “Proportional.”
Orientation of the characters on a page (“Portrait” or
Orientation
“Landscape”).
The rule that defines the correspondence between the character
Symbol Set codes coming from the host computer, and the letter forms that
appear on the page (e.g. Roman-8).

Some Basic Facts about Fonts 6-5

 Typeface
Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure
shows an example of some typefaces.

Stroke Weight
Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold
stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available. The
figure below shows an example of medium and bold printing.

6 Style
Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two
Appendix

styles: upright and italic.

With some fonts, like CourierPS and Letter Gothic, the terms “Oblique” and
“Slanted” are used in the same manner as italics.

6-6 Some Basic Facts about Fonts

Point Size
Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size is measured in points.
One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm).
The printer function has bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The
bitmapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size.
Scalable fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. The
following figure shows an example of various point sizes.

NOTE
See “Fonts and Scalable Fonts,” on p. 6-10, for more information on bitmapped fonts
and scalable fonts.
6

Appendix
Pitch (cpi)
Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi
(characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space
between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between
characters increases.

Some Basic Facts about Fonts 6-7

 Character Width (Fixed and PS)
Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given
point size. For example, “W” is a wider letter than “I.” There are two ways to print
letters of different widths: you can print all letters with the same spacing, regardless
of their actual width; or you can change the spacing between letters to
accommodate these different widths. Printing all letters with the same spacing is
called “Fixed spacing,” while changing the spacing to accommodate different letter
widths is called “Proportional spacing.”
Because the Fixed spacing method prints all letters with the same spacing, the
number of characters which will fit into a given length is a fixed quantity which can
be specified.
If the characters are printed with Proportional spacing, then the number of
characters that will fit into an inch varies depending on the letters printed.

6 Orientation
Appendix

Orientation refers to the direction of printing. The printer function can print using
two different paper orientations: portrait and landscape. With portrait orientation,
text is printed across the width of the paper (short edge), and with landscape
orientation, text is printed across the length of the paper (long edge).

6-8 Some Basic Facts about Fonts

Symbol Set
When you print the letter “A,” the host computer sends a code corresponding to “A”
(hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as
the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each
character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern
corresponding to the received code. In this case, the machine searches for the
pattern for “A,” and prints it.

■ The process by which letters are printed

Appendix
Computer Machine Character
Patterns
The machine uses a fixed rule to decide which letter or symbol corresponds to
the character code sent from the host computer. For example, the letter “A” is
printed for the hexadecimal code “41.” The rule which determines the
correspondence between character codes and printed letters is called the
“symbol set.”

Some Basic Facts about Fonts 6-9

 Fonts and Scalable Fonts
There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type
of data from which they are formed.
• Bitmapped fonts
• Scalable fonts

Bitmapped Fonts
Each character of bitmapped fonts are composed of a grid of small dots and stored
in the machine’s memory in dot matrix format.
Bitmapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by characteristics called “attributes,”
such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on. Various types of bitmapped fonts
are produced by the combination of these attributes.

6-10 Some Basic Facts about Fonts

Scalable Fonts
With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one
point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.

Appendix

Some Basic Facts about Fonts 6-11

 Standard Scalable and OCR Sets Fonts (PCL)
With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to
any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends
on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.)
The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.
