System

Print Error Report

You can specify whether to have an error report printed when a printer or memory error occurs.

• Default: [Off]

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.

• Default: [Off]

Store and Skip Errored Job

You can specify whether to store an error job in the machine and to print the next job. 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.

• Default: [Off]

Memory Overflow

When the sent data size is too large to process in the machine, you can specify whether to stop printing at the error page (Do not Print) or to continue printing.

To continue printing, release the Staple and Sort functions, and print the error information last.

• Default: [Do not Print]

Error Display Setting

You can specify whether to display all print errors on the control panel. When you specify [Only Important Ones], some print errors are displayed.

• Default: [All]

Auto Cancel Confirmation for PDL Error Job

This is the setting item to specify when you specify [Auto Cancel for Print Job(s) on Error] to [On]. You can specify whether to display the screen to confirm auto cancelation of the error job on the control panel. The next job does not start until the screen disappears.

• Default: [Do not Display]

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.

• Default: [Off]

When Exceeded Maximum Number of Sheets for Stapling

(This setting item appears only when a finisher with the stapling capability is installed.)

When Exceeded Maximum Number of Sheets for Booklet

(This setting item appears only when a finisher with the booklet binding capability is installed.)

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.

When you specify [Suspend (Alert)] or [Suspend (Display Alert Screen)], you can select whether to continue or cancel printing when printing stops.

• Default
  

  • When Exceeded Maximum Number of Sheets for Stapling: [Continue Printing]

  • When Exceeded Maximum Number of Sheets for Booklet: [Suspend (Display Alert Screen)]

When Exceeded Maximum Number of Multi-sheet Fold

(This setting item appears only when the internal multi-fold unit is installed.)

Specify whether to continue or cancel printing when the number of pages in a document exceeds the maximum number for multi-sheet folding.

• Continue Printing
  Printing continues while pages are folded at the maximum number for multi-sheet folding.

• Cancel Printing
  An error message is displayed and printing stops.

• Suspend (Display Alert Screen)
  An alert screen is displayed to prompt you to continue or stop printing.

• Default: [Continue Printing]

Sub Paper Size

You can specify whether A4 and 8¹/₂ × 11 paper is treated as the same size.

• Default: [Auto]

Letterhead Setting

To print onto paper that has a fixed print side or print direction (letterhead paper, for example), make the settings for image rotation and print side correctly. Set the paper so that the paper orientation and print side are placed correctly.

• Default: [Auto Detect]

Printing onto Letterhead Paper Using the Printer Driver

Tray Setting Priority

Paper Confirmation for Bypass Tray

Specify whether to display the confirming screen of the paper size, type, and feed direction on the control panel when feeding paper from the bypass tray. If [Display] is specified, you can check the print settings for the bypass tray before printing starts.

This setting is available when Bypass Tray is set to [Driver/Command].

• Default: [Do not Display]

Bypass Tray

Tray 1

Tray 2

Tray 3

Tray 3 (LCT)

Tray 4

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. Only the trays attached to the machine appear.

For the bypass tray, you can specify the following settings. For the trays 1 to 4, tray 3 (LCT), and LCT, you can specify either [Driver/Command] or [Machine Setting(s)].

• Driver/Command
  When a paper tray is specified for a print job, the paper settings such as paper size, type, and orientation specified by the printer driver or the print command are applied, regardless of the settings for [Tray/Paper Settings] [Paper Size/Paper Type].
  When Bypass Tray is set to [Driver/Command], the paper orientation specified by [Tray/Paper Settings] [Paper Size/Paper Type] is applied. Load paper in the same orientation as the orientation specified by [Paper Size/Paper Type]. When a custom size is specified by the printer driver or the print command, the paper orientation specified in the printer driver or command is applied.

• Use Driver/Command (Enable Discord Alert)
  When the bypass tray is specified as the paper source, the paper type, paper type, and orientation specified by the printer driver or the print command are applied to the print job, regardless of the settings for [Tray/Paper Settings] [Paper Size/Paper Type].
  When the specified paper size and the size of the paper loaded in the bypass tray do not match or the bypass tray runs out of paper, an alert appears on the control panel before the paper is fed.

• Machine Setting(s)
  The paper settings specified on the control panel are applied to all print jobs. An error occurs when the paper settings specified by the printer driver or the print command do not match the ones specified on the control panel.

• Default
  

  • Bypass Tray: [Use Driver/Command (Enable Discord Alert)]

  • Tray 1 – 4, Tray 3 (LCT), LCT: [Machine Setting(s)]

Tray Switching

This is the setting item to specify when you print by specifying the tray on the printer driver. You can specify whether to switch to Auto Paper Select when the paper set in the tray is different from the settings specified on the printer driver. If the same paper is set on another tray, the paper is fed from the tray.

• Default: [Off]

Extended Auto Tray Switching

This is the setting item to specify when you print by specifying the paper tray. 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.

• Default: [Off]

Job Separation

(This setting item appears only when an external unit with the tray shifting mechanism is installed.)

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.

Rotate Sort: Auto Paper Continue

You can specify whether to continue printing when Rotate Sort is specified and the paper tray runs out of paper that is loaded in the landscape or portrait orientation.

• Default: [Off]
