RITech
Turning RITech on produces smoother and crisper lines, text, and 
graphics.
Toner Save
When this setting is selected in the B/W and 4 × B/W modes, the 
printer saves toner by substituting a gray shade for the black 
inside of characters. The characters are outlined in full black on 
the right and lower edges.
When this setting is selected in the Color mode, the printer saves 
toner by using half the normal amount of toner.
Image Optimum
When this mode is on, the quality of graphics is reduced. It 
reduces the amount of graphics data when the data reaches the 
memory limit, allowing complex documents to be printed.
Top Offset
Makes fine adjustments to the vertical printing position of the 
page.
c
Caution:
Make sure that the printed image does not extend beyond the edge 
of the paper. Otherwise, you may damage the printer.
Left Offset
Makes fine adjustments to the horizontal printing position of the 
page. This is useful for fine adjustments.

Specifies the length of the time, in seconds, before a time out when 
interfaces are being switched automatically. The time before a 
time out occurs is the length of time from the point when no data 
is being received from an interface until the point of switching the 
interface. If the printer has a print job when switching the 
interface, the printer prints the print job.
Paper Source
Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray 
or the optional paper cassette unit.
If you select Auto, paper feeds from the paper source containing 
paper that matches your Paper Size setting.
If an envelope size (C5, C6, C10, DL, MON, or IB5) is selected as the 
Page Size setting, paper always feeds from the MP tray. If you 
select Thick or Trnsprnc as the Paper Type setting, paper always 
feeds from the MP tray.
MP Mode
This setting determines whether the MP tray has the highest or 
lowest priority when Auto is selected as the Paper Source setting 
in the printer driver. When Normal is selected as the MP Mode, 
the MP tray has the highest priority as the paper source. If you 
select Last, the MP tray has the lowest priority.
Manual Feed
Allows you to select the manual feed mode for the MP tray.
Copies
Designates the number of copies to be printed, from 1 through 
999.
Duplex
 
						

							236Using the Control Panel Turns duplex printing on or off.
Binding
Specifies the binding direction of the printout.
Start Page
Specifies whether printing starts from the front or back of the 
page.
Paper Type
Specifies the type of paper to be used for printing. The printer 
adjusts the printing speed according to this setting. The printing 
speed is reduced when Thick or Trnsprnc is selected.
Page Side
Select Front when printing on the front of thick paper (Thick).
Select Back when printing on the back of thick paper (Thick).
Skip Blank Page
Enables you to skip blank pages when printing. This setting is 
available when you print in the PCL5e, ESC/Page, ESCP2, FX, or 
I239X mode.
Auto Eject Page
Specifies whether or not to eject paper when the limit specified in 
the Time Out setting is reached. The default is Off, which means 
paper is not ejected when the time-out limit is reached.

If you want to ignore a paper size error, select On. When you turn 
this item on, the printer keeps printing even if the image size 
exceeds the printable area for the specified paper size. This may 
cause smudges because of the toner that is not transferred onto 
the paper properly. When this item is turned off, the printer stops 
printing if a paper size error occurs.
Auto Cont
When you turn this setting on, the printer automatically continues 
printing after a certain period of time when one of the following 
errors occurs: Paper Set, Print Overrun, or Mem Overflow. When 
this option is off, you must press the NStart/Stop button to 
resume printing.
Page Protect
Allocates additional printer memory for printing data, as 
opposed to receiving it. You may need to turn this setting on if 
you are printing a very complex page. If a Print Overrun error 
message appears on the LCD panel during printing, turn this 
setting on and reprint your data. This reduces the amount of 
memory reserved for processing data so your computer may take 
longer to send the print job, but it will allow you to print complex 
jobs. Page Protect usually works best when Auto is selected. You 
will need to increase your printer’s memory if memory errors 
continue to occur.
Note:
Changing the Page Protect setting reconfigures the printer’s memory, 
which causes any downloaded fonts to be deleted.
Toner Out
If the item is set to Stop, the printer lets you know when the toner 
is out. To disable this function, set this item to Continue. 
 
						

							238Using the Control Panel Note:
If this item is set to Continue, the print result may be different from 
what you expected because there may not be enough toner to print the 
data.
LCD Contrast
Adjusts the contrast of the LCD panel. Use the uUp and dDown 
buttons to set the contrast between 0 (lowest contrast) and 15 
(highest contrast.)
Mode Config. Menu
This menu allows you to switch the printing mode. You can also 
use this menu to stop using one of the black toner cartridges when 
the printer is in the 4 × B/W mode.
* Available only in the 4 × B/W mode.

transporting the printer.
