Other Print Options2
You can set the following in Printer Function:

Color Calibration

Use Reprint

Sleep Time

Improve Print Output
Color Calibration2
The output density of each color may vary depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment 
the printer is in. This setting helps you to improve color density by letting the printer driver use the color 
calibration data stored in your printer.

Use Calibration Data
If the printer driver successfully gets the calibration data, the printer driver will automatically check this box. 
Remove the check mark if you do not want to use the data.

Start Color Calibration
If you click this button, your printer will start color calibration and then the printer driver will attempt to get 
the calibration data from your printer.
Note
If you print by using the Direct Print feature, PictBridge feature or BR-Script printer driver, you need to 
perform the calibration from the control panel. See Calibration on page 96.
 
Use Reprint2
The printer keeps the print job sent to it in memory.
You can reprint the last job without sending the data again from your computer.For more information about 
the Reprint function, see Reprinting documents on page 79.
Note
If you want to prevent other people from printing your data using the reprint function, uncheck the 
Use Reprint check box.
 
Sleep Time2
When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time, it enters sleep mode. In sleep mode, the 
printer acts as though it were turned off. When you choose Printer Default, the timeout setting has been set 
to a specific time set at the factory, this can be altered in the driver or at the printer. Intelligent Sleep Mode 
automatically adjusts to the most suitable timeout setting depending on the frequency of your printer use.
While the printer is in sleep mode, Back light is off, the LCD shows Sleep, but the printer can still receive 
data. Receiving a print file or document or pressing Go will automatically wake up the printer to start printing.
