The Media tab includes

Page Size	Source
Custom Paper Size	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 MP 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.

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.

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 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 printer 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 box, select the font in your document. In the Available Device Fonts box, 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.

 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 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.

(Selections vary according to printer installed)

• Monochrome	Select to print using black toner only and constrain all color settings.
• 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 glossy printing based on the type of paper selected. This mode accounts for the florescence of the paper. 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.

(Selections vary according to printer installed)

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

 Finishing Options

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

 (Selections vary according to printer installed)

Collate works with a RAM Disk or Hard Disk to specify the order in which the pages of a multi-copy job are printed. With Collate and a RAM Disk or Hard Disk 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.

With Collate selected, the job’s data is rendered as page images in the printer’s memory (RAM Disk or Hard Disk) 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. A RAM Disk or Hard Disk must be installed in the printer and selected in the driver under the Device Settings tab.

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

•	When used with a RAM Disk, page data is stored temporarily and will be deleted after printing or turning the printer off.

•	When used with a Hard Disk, page data can be stored until the printer is turned off, or the hard disk becomes full, by selecting Temporary in the Job Settings dialog box.

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

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.

Offset physically offsets each print job in the bulk tray. This feature only offsets individual jobs, and will not offset multiple copies of the same job.

Punch places punch holes in the print job to enable binding the document.

Mailbox sends the print job to mailboxes when an optional Finisher, Sorter Stacker or Mailbox is installed. Select Mailbox and choose the destination mailbox from the list.

 Temporary Storage

Allows you to temporarily store print jobs in the optional Hard Disk. These jobs are removed from the Hard Disk once the printer is reset or powered off. If the storage capacity for temporary jobs runs out, the jobs are automatically deleted starting with the oldest job first; job management is easy this way because you do not need to manually delete the jobs. Temporary jobs can be printed using an optional bar code reader and a printed job list. Temporary storage requires an optional hard disk.

A Job name and User name can be assigned for easy identification of jobs later on the Job List. A job name can be entered in the Job Settings dialog box. A user name can be entered in the User Settings dialog box.

Selecting Temporary increases print speed on a multiple copy job. For instance, the first copy of the job only needs to be rendered once, then all subsequent copies of the job will print at the rated speed of the printer.

On the Output tab, click Job Settings… to open the Job Settings dialog box. Select Job Storage (e-MPS), then select Temporary.
