Changing the Printer Operation Mode

If necessary, switch between various modes of printer operation.

The procedure for configuring Custom Settings is as follows:

Custom Settings

  1. Open the printer driver setup window

  2. Make sure that the printer is on, and then click Custom Settings on the Maintenance tab

    The Custom Settings dialog box opens.

    Note

    • If the printer is off or if communication between the printer and the computer is disabled, an error message may appear because the computer cannot collect the printer status.
      If this happens, click OK to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.
  3. If necessary, complete the following settings:

    Rotate 90 degrees left when orientation is [Landscape]
    On the Page Setup tab, you can change the rotation direction of the Landscape in the Orientation.
    To rotate the print data 90 degrees to the left during printing, select this item. To rotate the print data 90 degrees to the right during printing, clear this item.

    Important

    • Do not change this setting while the print job is displayed in the print wait list. Otherwise, characters may be omitted or the layout may become corrupt.
    Don't detect mismatch of paper settings when printing from computer
    When you print documents from your computer and the paper settings on the printer driver and the top feed or the manual feed tray paper information registered on the printer do not match, this setting disables the message display and allows you to continue printing.
    To disable detection of paper setting mismatches, select this check box.
    Disable paper width detection when printing from computer
    Even if the paper width identified by the printer during printing from the computer differs from the paper width that was set in Paper Size on the Page Setup tab, this function disables the message display and allows you to continue printing.
    To disable detection of the paper width during printing, check this check box.
  4. Apply the settings

    Click OK and when the confirmation message appears, click OK.

    The printer operates with the modified settings hereafter.
