[PS and PDF] Paper size error margin

±5pt

±10pt

When a PS job is printed by using a custom paper size, the job might not be printed because of a paper size mismatch caused by a calculation error. By default, the error margin for matching to a paper size is ±5 points. By enabling this BitSwitch, the error margin for matching to a paper size can be extended to ±10 points.

Enabled

If enabled, users will be able to configure a Collate Type, Staple Type, and Punch Type from the operation panel. The available Types will depend on the device and configured options.

bit 1

Multiple copies if a paper size or type mismatch occurs

Disabled (Single copy)

Enabled (Multiple copy)

If a paper size or type mismatch occurs during the printing of multiple copies, only a single copy is output by default. Using this bit switch, the device can be configured to print all copies even if a paper mismatch occurs.

bit 2

Prevent SDK applications from altering the contents of a job.

Disabled

Enabled

Enable: SDK applications will not be able to alter print data. This is achieved by preventing SDK applications from accessing a module called the "GPS Filter".

Note: The main purpose of this bit switch is for troubleshooting the effects of SDK applications on data.

bit 3

[PS] PS Criteria

Pattern3

Pattern1

Change the number of PS criterion used by the PS interpereter to determine whether a job is PS data or not.

Pattern3: The larger the pattern number, the greater the number of criterion used.

Pattern1: A small number of PS tags and headers

bit 4

Increase max. number of stored jobs.

Disabled (100)

Enabled (750)

bit 7

Letterhead mode printing

Disabled

Enabled (Duplex)

Routes all pages through the duplex unit.

If this is disabled, simplex pages or the last page of an odd-paged duplex job are not routed through the duplex unit. This could result in problems with letterhead/pre-printed pages.

Only affects pages specified as Letterhead paper.

Timing of the PJL Status ReadBack (JOB END) when printing multiple collated copies.

Disabled

Enabled

This bit switch determines the timing of the PJL USTATUS JOB END sent when multiple collated copies are being printed.

Disable (=0 (default)):

JOB END is sent by the device to the client after the first copy has completed printing. This causes the page counter to be incremented after the first copy and then again at the end of the job.

Enable (=1):

JOB END is sent by the device to the client after the last copy has finished printing. This causes the page counter to be incremented at the end of each job.

Job cancels remaining pages when the paid-for pages have been printed on an external charge device

Job does not cancel

Job cancels

When setting 1 is enabled, after printing the paid-for pages on an external charge device, the job that includes any remaining pages will be canceled.

Switch for enabling or disabling Limitless Paper Feeding for the Bypass Tray

Enable

Disable

When the Bypass Tray is the target of the Auto Tray Select and Any Size/Type is configured for the Tray Setting Priority setting of the Bypass Tray, this BitSwitch can switch the behavior whether or not Limitless Paper Feeding is applied to the Bypass Tray.* The default is Enabled (=0).

*Limitless Paper Feeding will try a matching tray of the next highest priority if a job specified to Auto Tray Select as the tray setting is submitted and the tray runs out of paper.

Enabled (=0: Default):
Limitless Paper Feeding is applied to the Bypass Tray.

If a tray other than the Bypass Tray matches the job's paper size and type but has run out of paper, printing will occur from the Bypass Tray.

Disabled (=1):
Limitless Paper Feeding is not applied to the Bypass Tray.

If a tray other than the Bypass Tray matches the job's paper size and type but has run out of paper, printing will stop and an alert will appear on the LCD screen, stating that the tray has run out of paper. This prevents unexpected use of the Bypass Tray.

Limitations when this BitSwitch is set to "1":

- The "Paper Tray Priority: Printer" setting must be configured to a tray other than the Bypass Tray.

- Jobs that contain more than one paper size cannot be printed.

If this BitSwitch is set to "1" (enabled), the "Apply Auto Paper Select" setting will decide if the paper size or paper type that is specified in the device settings should be overwritten by the job's commands when "Tray Setting Priority" is set to "Driver/Command" or "Any Type".

- Apply Auto Paper Select = OFF: Overwritten (priority is given to the job’s commands)
- Apply Auto Paper Select = ON: Not overwritten (priority is given to the device settings)
