Define the default media

• Use [Media color] to define the color of the default media. When you enter the color in the English language, a sample of the color is automatically displayed for the media. For other languages, enter the RGB value of the color in the media catalog. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

• Use [Media size] to define the default media size of the print jobs. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

• Use [Media type] to define the default media type of the print jobs. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

• Use [Media weight] to define the default media weight of the print jobs. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

Define the default output properties

• Use [Print resolution] to define the default print resolution. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

  

• Use [Use PDF CropBox instead of MediaBox] to apply the PDF CropBox or the PDF MediaBox. The PDF MediaBox found in a job defines the size of the media used for printing. (Only for PDF)

  

• Use [Use PDF XObject optimization] to indicate how XObjects are processed. [Automatic]: the XObjects of a PDF/VT job are cached. [Enabled]: the XObjects of every PDF job are cached. [Disabled]: the XObjects are re-interpreted per page. (Only for PDF)

  

Define the default delivery of prints (1/2)

• Use [Offset stacking] to indicate if default stacking occurs with or without an offset. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

  

• Use [Tumble] to set tumble for two-sided documents that are bound at the top or the bottom edge. The tumble option rotates the image on the back side of the sheet 180 degrees. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

  

• Use [Sort] to indicate if sorting occurs by set or by page. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

  

• Use [Use of staples] to indicate if jobs are stapled and the location of the staples. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

  

Define the default delivery of prints (2/2)

• Use [Output tray] to select the output location. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

  

• Use [1-sided or 2-sided] to define if jobs are printed at one or two sides by default. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

  

Define the substitution of a missing font

• Use [PDF font substitution], [PPML font substitution], and [PostScript font substitution] to indicate that a missing font is replaced by the Courier font. Otherwise, a job is stopped and—if enabled—an error page is printed. (PDF, PostScript, PPML)

  

Improve the print quality of large-sized text

• Use [Render large-sized text as graphics] to define from which threshold value the halftone for graphics must be used for text. This option keeps the benefits of using the text halftone screen for small text. (PDF, PPML)

  

Improve the print quality of thick lines

• Use [Render thick lines as graphics] to define from which threshold value the halftone for graphics must be used for thick lines. This option keeps the benefits of using the halftone screen for thin lines. (PDF)
