The Media tab includes

Custom Paper Sizes	Media Type
Print Size	Advanced Media Settings
Orientation	3-D Image


 Page Size

Allows you to specify a paper or envelope size for your print job from the available list. Displayed selections are dependent on the Page sizes supported for the selected paper source. For example, envelope sizes will not be displayed if the Source is set to Cassette 2, because cassettes do not support envelopes. Envelopes can only be fed to the printer through the Multi-Purpose Feeder (MP Tray).

An adjustable rotary-type paper selector on the front, inside part of the cassette must be set to match the page size within the cassette. Printer Sensors will read this setting. Because the Multi-Purpose Feeder does not use page size sensors, this setting must be made in the printer driver, at the printer’s front panel, or by sending a PRESCRIBE Command to the printer from the computer.

To set MP Tray paper sizes, follow these steps:

1.	On the printer’s front panel press the MENU key.

2.	Press the · key until Paper handling appears on the display, then press the · key.

3.	Press the · key until MP tray size appears on the display, then press the ENTER key.

4.	When a flashing ? appears beneath MP tray size, press the · key until desired paper size appears.

5.	Press the ENTER key, then press the MENU key.

Select Download TrueType Fonts as Outline under these circumstances:

•	For large documents. Print speeds will be greater because of the optimization features in this setting. The repetition of similar font data sent to the printer will be reduced, thereby increasing the print speed.

•	The print speed will not be increased when using Asian Fonts such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, because of the large amount of font information used for these particular fonts.

Select Download TrueType Fonts as Bitmap under these circumstances:

•	For smaller print jobs.

•	For very small fonts (point size 1-4).

•	For documents using Asian fonts, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

•	For older operating systems (Windows 3.x, 9x), which have fewer TrueType system Fonts. Non-TrueType fonts can only be downloaded as Bitmap.

•	For documents with user-defined fonts.

Select Substitute with Device Fonts under these circumstances:

•	If the print job contains system fonts that are not part of the printer’s device fonts. The substituted device font must be similar to the system font, or the document will print incorrectly.

•	To change a font found throughout a large document. This selection will substitute the old font with the desired font.

Click the Font Substitution… button to open the Font Substitution dialog box. In the System Fonts list, select the font in your document. In the Available Device Fonts list, select the font to substitute. Click OK.

Select Disable Device Fonts to overcome device font limitations when printing with AutoDesk® applications, Microsoft Office versions older than Office 2000, and Adobe applications. When Disable Device Fonts is selected, Device fonts will not appear in application font lists. Device fonts are normally visible in application font lists as printer icons next to the font name, unless there are equivalent system fonts, in which case the "TT" True Type icon remains. This option also improves portability of printable data; when cleared, device fonts may not match when sent to a different printer.

 Color Mode

Specifies how the printer processes color matching in the job. Color matching is the process of accurately and consistently converting RGB colors (how colors are displayed on the monitor) to CMYK colors (how colors are used for output printing). RGB is an acronym for Red, Green, and Blue, while CMYK is an acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.

• Custom…	Select, and click the button, for selecting Gray Component Replacement, Continuous Tone, Gloss Mode, and Monochrome.

Color Mode Settings provide additional settings for rendering color:

• Gray Component Replacement	Replaces the gray component of CMY with black.
• Continuous Tone	Prints a wide range of color with every shade of gray represented. It is the tone setting most associated with photographic images. Continuous Tone can be used with Gray Component Replacement or Monochrome.
• Gloss Mode	Simulates high-gloss copies. Gloss Mode is not supported for duplex printing because of the high frequency of paper jams.
• Monochrome	In this mode, all color data is converted to grayscale. It is used most often to review documents before printing in color.

 Color Correction

Specifies how the printer driver can be manipulated to create better color matching in the job. Color matching is the process of accurately and consistently converting RGB colors (how colors are displayed on the video monitor) to CMYK colors (how colors are used for output printing). RGB is an acronym for Red, Green, and Blue, while CMYK is an acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.

Color Correction options including the following:

• Automatic	Performs color matching in accordance with the default color profile.
• ICM (System Corrected)	Specifies how color is rendered in the print job so that it is as close to the original as possible. ICM (Image Color Management) technology relies upon associating an output device like a printer with a Color Profile. An ICM Profile for a printer contains information about rendering accurate color information for that device. The settings for the ICM must be set in the Color Management tab, accessed in Properties. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, click ICM Settings… to open the ICM Settings dialog box and select from Rendering Intent options: • Exact Color (Colormetric), when the same color is needed in all print jobs, such as business logos. • Color Contrast, for images or scanned photographs containing many colors or shades of color. • Color Saturation, for graphs or charts containing solid colors.  Note: ICM technology is not supported in Windows 95 or Windows NT.
• None (Application Corrected)	Processes the color data without applying the adjustments contained in the printer’s internal color look-up tables. Ink simulation will not be executed. Useful if the application provides its own color correction.
• Monitor Simulation (RGB)	Corrects the sRGB monitor value according to HDTV standards.
• Ink Simulation (CMYK)	Provides output similar to the selected offset press ink set. • Euroscale Press, to simulate European press standards by matching the equivalent Imation Matchprint proof • SWOP Press, to simulate U.S. press standards by matching the Specifications for Web Offset Publications

 Output to

Specifies the output location for the print job. Available Output selections depend upon both the selected Device Options in the Device Settings tab and the optional devices attached to the printer.

Selecting a Face-up option normally stacks printed pages with the first page on the bottom and the last page on the top. You can reverse the Face-up page order, placing the last page on the bottom and the first page on the top, by selecting Disable Face-up Reverse Page Order in the Compatibility Settings dialog box. In the Device Settings tab, click Administrator…, then Compatibility Settings….

For a printer without options attached, the Face-down or Face-up locations are the only available output bins.

•	Top Tray (Face-down) will send jobs to the face-down output bin on top of the printer. The tray supports a maximum of 500 sheets.

•	Side Tray (Face-up) setting will send print jobs to the face-up output on the side of the printer. The tray supports a maximum of 150 sheets.

When optional output devices are attached to the printer and selected in the driver as Device Options in the Device Settings tab, Output to locations can be selected in the driver. The following output options are available, depending on the installed output device:

•	Bulk Tray (Face-down) appears in the printer driver when the Document Finisher (DF-31) or Offset Stacker (ST-30) is installed in the printer and selected in the driver.

•	Bulk Tray (Face-up) appears in the printer driver when any of the optional output devices are installed in the printer and selected in the driver.

The behavior for the Output to options depends upon the optional output device installed, as described below.

• Document Finisher (DF-31)	Stacks print jobs, providing three output trays for organizing your documents. Features include collate, offset, and stapling. (Capacity: upper tray-600 sheets, middle and bottom tray-700 sheets.)
• Sorter Stacker (SO-30)	Stacks print jobs in one face-up tray with a capacity of 100 pages, and 9 mailbox trays each with a capacity of 200 pages, for a total capacity of 1900 sheets. The face-up tray supports letter and A4 in landscape orientation, and custom sizes, whereas the mailbox trays do not support these additional features.
• Offset Stacker (ST-30)	Prints jobs in one continuous stack and can offset each print job making it easier to keep track of sets of print jobs. (Capacity: 3000 sheets)
•	Mailbox (Face-down) sends the print job to any of three mailboxes on the Document Finisher (DF-31), or any of nine mailboxes on the Sorter Stacker (SO-30). Select Mailbox under Finishing Options and choose the destination mailbox from the list.

•	Printer Default sends the print job to the default setting made by the user at the printer’s front panel.

•	Top Tray (Face-down) sends the print job to the face down tray on top of the printer.

 Finishing Options

Allows you to collate, staple, and sort print jobs using the optional output devices.

Collate increases print speed and specifies the order in which the pages of a multi-copy job are printed.

With Collate selected, the job’s data is rendered as page images in the printer’s memory after it has been downloaded the first time. The remaining job copies will print from this stored data, bypassing the process of sending down the job’s data from the computer to the printer with every copy.

When Collate is used with an established RAM Disk or an optional Hard Disk, page data can be saved or deleted in the following ways:

•	When used with an established RAM Disk, page data is stored temporarily and will be deleted after printing.

•	When used with an optional Hard Disk, page data can be stored until the Hard Disk is full by selecting Temporary in the Job Settings dialog box.

•	When used with an optional Hard Disk, page data can be stored so that it is protected from being erased when the Hard Disk becomes full by selecting Permanent in the Job Settings dialog box.

With Collate selected, the driver will print the job set by set. With Collate cleared, it will print copies of each page by set. For example, with Collate selected, three copies of a five-page document would output as pages one through five in succession three times. The driver graphics image displays the grouping of collating and non-collating.

Note: The Collate function will not work with Adobe applications unless a RAM Disk is set up or an optional Hard Disk is installed.

Reverse Page Order sends a print job to a Face-down or Face-up tray opposite of the normal page order. This option is unavailable when Printer Default is selected in Output to. This option is canceled for Face-up output by selecting Disable Face-up Reverse Page Order in the Compatibility Settings dialog box, accessed from the Device Settings tab.

Booklet Mode and Advanced Media Settings will be unavailable when Reverse Page Order is selected.

Staple binds selected groups of pages together for a multiple copy job.  With the Document Finisher (DF-31) installed, the maximum number of pages per job for stapling is 20. For example, a 50-page job would be stapled in groups of 20, 20 and 10. Staples can be set for the Upper Left corner or in Booklet form (two centered). To enable stapling, follow these steps:

1.	The Document Finisher (DF-31) must be attached to the printer and selected in Device Options in the Device Settings tab.

2.	Select Bulk Tray (Face-down or Face-up) in Output to.

3.	Select Collate to use the stapling function.

4.	Select Staple. (If Offset is selected, clear it to enable the staple function.)

5.	Select Upper Left or Booklet to position the staple(s).

Offset physically offsets each print job in the bulk tray when either the Document Finisher (DF-31) or the Offset Stacker (ST-30) is attached.  Select Bulk Tray (Face-down or Face-up) as the output destination. This feature only offsets individual jobs, and will not offset multiple copies of the same job.

Mailbox sends the print job to any of three Document Finisher (DF-31) mailboxes or to any of nine Sorter Stacker (SO-30) mailboxes. . Select Mailbox and choose the destination mailbox from the list.

•	In the Document Finisher (DF-31), Mailbox 1 holds 600 sheets, while Mailboxes 2 and 3 each hold 700 sheets.

•	In the Sorter Stacker (SO-30), each Mailbox holds 200 sheets.

 Paper Feeder

The Paper Feeder (PF-30A) contains two cassettes with 500 sheets each, for a total capacity of 1000 sheets. A full stack for the FS 8000C consists of three Paper Feeders, supporting Cassettes 1 through 6, with a total paper capacity of 3000 sheets. The full stack is required for such options as the Document Finisher (DF-31), Offset Stacker (ST-30), or Sorter Stacker (SO-30). In the printer driver, these cassette locations are specified under Source in the Media tab.

To use a Paper Feeder (PF-30A) as a paper source, first install it beneath the printer, then select it as a Device Option in the Device Settings tab.

Because the optional Duplex Unit (PD-30) physically replaces Cassette 1 in the Paper Feeder (PF-30A) in the printer, Cassette 1 will be unavailable as a paper source.
