Personality The machine can distinguish between computer-sent control commands and Direct Print data and automatically switch personalities. However, in instances such as where received control commands are exclusively defined or the machine does not automatically switch to the appropriate personality, please set the Personality to match received data.
Remote UI, please refer to the Remote UI Guide. The contents of the Printer Settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the machine. • This means that the settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched OFF, and therefore the settings will still be available when the power is switched ON again.
When the same menu function setting can be specified by using the keys on the machine or by specifying the setting in an application or the printer driver, the setting from the application or printer driver has priority. These settings will override the settings made on the machine.
The following menus are included within the Printer Settings menu. Settings Menu • Enables you to specify or change settings common to all printer functions. UFR II/PCL/PS Settings Menus • Enables you to specify or change settings for the operating mode when a UFR II/PCL/ PS control command is received.

Depending on the application software and OS that you are using, the method in which halftones and colors are processed may be different. Remedy 1 If 'Resolution' in the printer driver is set to [1200 dpi], press [Dark] to adjust the density with 'Density Fine Adjustment', and print the data again.
Page 240
The gray data appears grainy. Cause The RGB Pure Black Process setting, in combination with the Prioritize Printing of Lines and Text setting in the printer driver or Output Profile setting on the control panel, is affecting the gray part of the data.

Appendix This chapter shows print samples for different fonts, describes font information, including sources and font lists, and lists a summary of the specifications for the machine. Some Basic Facts about Fonts..........7-2 What Is a Font? .
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.
Style Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two styles: upright and italic. With some fonts, like CourierPS and Letter Gothic, the terms "Oblique" and "Slanted"...
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.
Orientation 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).
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.
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. 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.
Standard Scalable 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.
