Print settings

This item is displayed when you select Printer settings from Various settings on the HOME screen.

• Prevent paper abrasion

  Use this setting only if the print surface becomes smudged.

  Important

  • Be sure to set this back to OFF after printing since it may result in lower print quality.

• Magnification level for borderless

  Sets magnification level when performing borderless printing in the following print method.

  Normally, the image is enlarged slightly and printed so that there is no border. If the border remains, change this setting.

  • IPP printing such as AirPrint

• IPP print settings

  Sets the image quality and paper settings for IPP printing.

  For example, when printing using AirPrint or Mopria Print Service, this setting value is applied.

  • Print quality settings

    • Color mode

      Select the color correction method suited to the type of document to be printed.

      Important

      • Even if you select ICC profile, printing is performed without ICC profile if ICC profile is not included in the paper information added with Media Configuration Tool. Even if ICC profile is included in the paper information, printing will fail and the paper will be ejected as the blank paper if the Profile is not supported with the printer.

    • Clear coating

      Set Clear Coating. Perform Clear Coating to adjust glossiness by applying the Chroma Optimizer (CO) ink to the printed surface.

      • Auto

        Automatically sets the Clear Coating area and whether to perform Clear Coating.

      • Overall

        Applies Clear Coating to the entire print area including the margins outside the image area (print area).

        Improves the glossiness of the entire print area including the margins by applying Clear Coating to the entire surface.

        This setting consumes the most Chroma Optimizer (CO) ink.

      • Printed areas

        Applies Clear Coating to the margins and the non-white areas in the image.

        Set this when you want to improve the glossiness of only the image area.

      • OFF

        Prints without performing Clear Coating.

        Compared to when Clear Coating is performed, the image quality may seem lower or the print surface may be more susceptible to scratches.

        Note

        • If Clear Coating is unnecessary (for example, when laminating the printed image), select OFF.

      Important

      • Depending on the paper type and print quality, it may not work even if you select Overall/Printed areas/OFF.

      • If you select OFF for Clear coating, the Chroma Optimizer (CO) ink will not be used during printing, but it will be used during automatic maintenance to maintain the printer performance.

  • Paper settings

    • Unidirectional printing

      Selecting ON suppresses uneven coloring and line shifts during printing.
