Enter the default value for the number of times you want your jobs to be printed.

[Collate]

• Select [On (sort by set)] to sort your output by set (123 - 123).

• Select [Off (sort by page)] to sort your output by page (11 - 22 - 33).

[Print delivery]

• Select [Top Delivery Tray (TDT)] to default deliver your output in the Top delivery tray.

• Select [Back output] to default deliver your output at the back of the printer.

[Fold]

This setting is only available when a folding device is configured and enabled.

[Media source] 

Select the default media source used on the printer.

• Select a specific media source from the list that will be used by default.

The system screen on the printer user panel displays which media is loaded.

NOTE

You can only configure the Media selection policy setting, when Media source is set to [Automatic].

[Media selection policy] 

• Select [Automatic next larger] to allow the printer to use a media roll larger than the size of the print, when the exact size is not available.

• Select [Automatic exact fit] to only allow the printer to use a media roll that has the exact media size of the print. When the media roll with the exact media size is not available a media request appears.

[Cut method] 

• Select [Standard] to cut the print at a standard media size (DIN, ANSI etc.).

• Select [Synchro] to cut the print at the end of the image.

• Select [Custom] (numeric) to cut the print at a specific length.

[Custom print length] 

Enter the cut length of your print job.

[Add leading strip] 

When you enter a value, the printer adds a blank strip of the specified length at the top of the output.

[Add trailing strip] 

When you enter a value, the printer adds a blank strip of the specified length at the bottom of the output.

[Scale]

• Select [Automatic scale to the media size] to scale the image to the media.

• Select [Automatic scale down when image is larger than media] to scale down the image one format smaller than the original.

• Select [Custom scale factor] to enter your own scale percentage, with 100 percent as no scaling.

[Mirror]

Select [On] to mirror the image along the vertical axis - the media transport direction.

[Finishing Assistant]

This setting is only available when a folding device is configured and enabled.

Enable the setting to automatically detect the legend in an image and rotate and align the image so the legend will be on the cover page of the folded package.

NOTE

• When a legend cannot be detected, the document is not folded.

• The Finishing Assistant overrules the rotation and alignment settings.

[Rotation]

Select any option to rotate the image counterclockwise.

When you want to print more productively, select [Long edge first]. You can print more productively due to less media transport.

Select [Automatic media saving] to use the media in the most efficient way.

For more information, see Set the rotation mode.

[Alignment]

Select any of the options to define where to align the image on the media.

For more information, see Set the alignment mode.

[Vertical shift]

Define how much you want the image to shift vertically in the chosen alignment position.

[Print quality]

• [Standard] is the default value.

• Select [Lines/text] for line drawings. The lines are sharpened.

• Select [Photo] for large photos. The printed output is optimized for large gray areas.
