 Page Size

Allows you to specify a paper 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, A6 will not be displayed if the Source is set to Cassette 2, because cassettes do not support A6 paper. A6 can only be fed to the Imaging System through the Bypass Tray.

The tray contains adjustment levers for length and width that must be set to match the paper size in the Tray. Printer Sensors will read this setting.

All of Kyocera’s device fonts are TrueType Fonts, therefore device fonts must not be disabled within the driver. Click Font Settings… to open the Font Settings dialog box.

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 Imaging System 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 Imaging System’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.

 Finishing Options

Allows you to collate, staple, sort, and punch 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 or turning the printer off.

With Collate selected, the job’s data is rendered as page images in the Imaging System’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 Imaging System 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 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.
