This section describes the settings in [System] under [Printer Settings].
Error Action
Setting Items | Description |
---|---|
Print Error Report | You can specify whether to have an error report printed when a printer or memory error occurs.
|
Auto Continue | When the paper specified on the printer driver is not set in the machine, you can specify whether the machine continues to print onto paper that has not been specified after a system error occurs (Forced Printing). When you specify [Immediate], forced printing starts. You can display the dialog for confirming whether to continue printing and specify to wait for a specified period of time (1 to 15 minutes). Depending on the machine settings, printing is canceled, and Forced Printing does not start. The results of Forced Printing cannot be guaranteed.

Normal Print, Sample Print, and Stored Print jobs can be stored in the machine when an error occurs. To activate this setting, specify the number of pages of the error job that the machine verifies when printing starts (1 to 999 pages). A large number of pages require time to start printing. If an error occurs after printing starts, the next job will not be printed.
|

Auto Cancel for Print Job(s) on Error | When a print error occurs, you can specify whether to automatically cancel printing of the error job and the job received just before the error occurred.
|
When Exceeded Max. Number of Sheets for Stapling When Exceeded Max. Number of Sheets for Booklet | You can specify the machine's behavior when the number of pages in a document exceeds the maximum number of pages that can be stapled together. Specify [Continue Printing] to cancel Stapling when the number of pages in the document to print exceeds the maximum number that can be stapled. Default:

|
Tray Setting Priority (Continued) | Paper Mismatch Alert for Bypass Tray | Specify whether to display an alert on the control panel when the bypass tray is specified as the paper source and the paper size or type does not match the specified one or no paper is loaded in the bypass tray.

|
Tray Setting Priority (Continued) | Bypass Tray Tray 1 Tray 2 Tray 3 LCT | You can specify whether to give priority to the settings specified by the printer driver or the print command, or to the ones specified on the control panel for each tray when the machine receives print data.

You can specify whether to use the same paper set on another tray when the paper set in the designated tray runs out. If Auto Tray Switching for Print Settings of emulation is disabled, printing continues by Auto Tray Switching.

Job Separation | Specify whether to shift the position of ejected sheets for each job alternately. You can sort the output sheets per job automatically when printing a large number of sheets from multiple jobs. This menu item can be selected only when an optional finisher or internal shift tray is installed.
