Before You Start Using This
Machine
1
CHAPTER
This chapter describes how to set up the printing environment from the touch panel display.
1-1
Printing Flow with This Machine
1
Printing with a Printer Driver
Normally, the series of operations involved in printing data from a computer is specified by control commands generated using a printer driver. Control commands are a command system for controlling a printer. For example, when printing using a printer driver, control commands print data according to the following flow.
c a
User Software CD-ROM b
Control commands
1
2
3
Computer Machine a
Using a printer driver, data to be printed is converted to control commands.
b
Control command data is sent to the machine.
c
Following the received control commands, the machine processes and prints the data.
NOTE
There are some print settings that cannot be specified from the printer driver. These
settings are referred to as "Menu Functions" on the touch panel display. For menu
configuration and how to set up the printer environment from the touch panel display, see
"Menus for Printer Settings," on p. 1-11 and "Accessing the Printer Settings Menu," on p.
1-2
Printing Flow with This Machine
This machine supports the following three kinds of control commands:
■
UFR II Mode
UFR (Ultra Fast Rendering) is printing technology developed by Canon. High-speed printing is made possible by sharing the processing of print data normally done by the machine with the computer.
■
PCL Mode (PCL or PS Printer only)
PCL (Print Control Language), developed by Hewlett-Packard, is a command system for controlling page printers. Command versions supported by this machine are PCL5c and
PCL6.
■
PostScript Emulation Mode (PS Printer only)
PS (PostScript), developed by Adobe, is a command system for controlling page printers.
This mode emulates the operation of a printer in conformance with PostScript. The command version supported by this machine is PostScript 3 emulation.
IMPORTANT
•
To print in the above printer modes, a Printer Driver supported by this machine must be installed.
•
In the above printer modes, "Settings Menu" and either "UFR II Settings," "PCL Settings,"
or "PS Settings" are available from the touch panel display. For settings with these
menus, see Chapter 3, "Printer Settings Menu."
Printing with the Direct Print Function
Printing with Direct Print can also be done with this machine. Direct Print is a print function that enables you to send PS/EPS, TIFF/JPEG, and PDF format files without using a printer driver from the computer to the machine, which recognizes the file. Therefore, you can print without the need to open files.
You can specify PS/EPS, TIFF/JPEG, and PDF files to be printed from a Remote
UI. You can print a PDF file by specifying the location on your computer or URL from the Remote UI.
You can also use the Direct Print function by entering a command (LPR command) in the command prompt.

Personality
The machine can distinguish between computer-sent control commands and Direct
Print data and automatically switch personalities. However, in instances such as where received control commands are exclusively defined or the machine does not automatically switch to the appropriate personality, please set the Personality to match received data. The machine enables you to switch the personality and set specifications for printing using the menu functions on the touch panel display.
(See "Personality," on p. 3-42.)

Menu Functions
This section describes the menu functions and how to access them with the touch panel display.
What Are Menu Functions?
Specifying the Menu Settings
The machine lets you specify settings, such as the number of copies and the paper size, to use when it receives a print job. These types of settings can be specified by the application sending the print job, or by the printer driver.
You can specify many settings which affect the printer function of the machine.
These include some settings that cannot be specified remotely from an application or from the printer driver. These settings are referred to as "Menu Functions."
The menu functions are grouped together according to the type of settings, which makes them easy to set.
There are two ways you can specify the menu functions.
•
Specifying the settings on the touch panel display:
Display the Printer Settings screen on the touch panel display and specify the settings by pressing the keys on it.
•
Specifying the settings on the Remote UI:
You can specify some settings from your computer using your web browser.
NOTE
•
This guide only explains how to specify the menu settings on the touch panel display. For instructions on specifying the menu settings on the Remote UI, please refer to the
Remote UI Guide
.
•
The contents of the Printer Settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the machine.
This means that the settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched
OFF, and therefore the settings will still be available when the power is switched ON again.

Settings priorities for Direct Printing
For items available only on the menu functions, the most recently specified settings take priority for items specified via the touch panel display or from the 'Additional
Functions' menu in the Remote UI.
Settings specified in 'Direct Print' menu of the Remote UI take priority over settings specified from the touch panel display or from the 'Additional Functions' menu in the
Remote UI.
Furthermore, settings specified in the touch panel display take priority over settings specified with tags in the IFD (Image File Directory), which are held in the header of
TIFF data of an image file.

Printing Secured Documents
You can print out documents (print data) that have been assigned a password and sent to this machine from a computer. Documents with a password are called
"secured documents."
Secured documents sent to this machine are displayed with a locked icon ( ) in the job list in the touch panel display, and are queued for printing.
To print these documents, you need to enter the correct password. This prevents unauthorized people who do not know the password from printing or accessing the documents.
IMPORTANT
•
Only a logged-in user can print secured documents (including encrypted secured documents) if a login service is being used.
•
Setting for assigning a password at the computer is made with the printer driver.
•
If the main power is turned OFF or [Reset Printer] is performed (See p. 3-100), any
secured documents in the machine are erased.
•
Secured documents are erased after they are printed.

You cannot change the print settings of secured documents (set through the printer driver).
•
Secured documents will automatically be erased even if not printed. The Job Securing

•
The number of secured documents that can be stored at one time (including encrypted secured documents) is 50. If the number of jobs exceeds the maximum storable number, those jobs will be ignored.
•
A large secured print job with many pages may be canceled by the machine. A canceled secured print job does not appear on the Print Job status screen. The machine can store up to 6,000 pages per secured print job; however, if the machine is being used for other jobs or operations, such as the storing of documents in inboxes, the actual number of pages per secured print job that the machine can process is fewer than 6,000.

Printing Encrypted Secured Documents
You can print out documents (print data) that have been encrypted and sent to this machine from a computer.
Print data that are encrypted using this machine are called "encrypted secured documents." Since the data is encrypted, security is enhanced at the queued stage.
Encrypted secured documents sent to this machine are displayed with a locked icon ( ) in the job list in the touch panel display, and are queued for printing. To print these documents, you need to enter the correct password. This prevents unauthorized people who do not know the password or are not logged in from printing or accessing the documents.
Document data is encrypted before being sent to this machine. This allows you to print within a more highly secured environment compared to a secured document.

Envelope Y4, 12_5/8" x 17_11/16", and 12" x18"
This parameter defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set within the application software, when no paper source is specified.
IMPORTANT
If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine
(MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper size specified in this setting. If the paper size specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper size and type. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this setting as [ON]. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings," in the
Reference Guide
.)
■
Default Paper Type
Plain (Thin), Plain * , Plain (Heavy), Recycled, Color, Pre-punched, Bond Paper,
Heavy 1, Heavy 2, Transparency, Tracing Paper, Labels, Coated, and Envelope
This parameter sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type.
IMPORTANT
If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine
(MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper type specified in this setting. If the paper type specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job, and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper type and size. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this setting as [ON]. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings," in the
Reference Guide
.)
NOTE
•
Use the following figures as a guideline to decide whether paper should be specified as Plain Paper, Heavy Paper 1, or Heavy Paper 2.
- Plain Paper: 17 to 28 lb bond (64 to 105 g/m 2 )
- Heavy Paper 1: 28 lb bond to 60 lb cover (106 to 163 g/m 2 )
- Heavy Paper 2: 60 to 80 lb cover (164 to 220 g/m 2 )

Toner Save
On, Off
*
This setting enables you to set the Toner Save function. Toner Save uses less toner to print documents and may result in longer toner life.
NOTE
If [On] is selected for 'Toner Save', very light or finely detailed images may not be printed clearly.
■
Density Fine Adjustment
-2 to +2; 0
*
This setting enables you to increase the character and line density for clearer printing of fine lines and small characters. Pressing [Dark] makes the characters and lines darker, pressing [Light] makes them lighter. This setting has 5 levels you can adjust, with level '0' (middle level) as the default setting.
NOTE
•

This setting is only available if 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi].
■
Resolution
1200 dpi, 600 dpi
*
This setting specifies the resolution for printing.
Resolution is expressed in units of dpi (dots per inch), indicating the number of dots in one inch. The higher the value, the greater the resolution, allowing finer expression of detail.
If [1200 dpi] is selected, characters and lines can be finely printed.
If [600 dpi] is selected, you can perform printing suited to general documents and tables.
NOTE
•
This function is only available for Color imageRUNNER C2550 if the optional
1200dpi Print Expansion Board is attached.
•
This setting can only be applied to jobs in UFR II, PS, and PDF1.5 mode.
•
[1200 dpi] cannot be applied in Imaging mode.
•
When printing on large scale paper, set 'Resolution' to [600 dpi]. If [1200 dpi] is selected, there will not be enough memory necessary to process printing and printing will not be possible.

Image Compression
Image Priority, Standard
*
, and Speed Priority
This setting sets the compression mode when printing image data.
Image data is compressed to be stored in the machine's memory when printing with this machine. Image quality will differ depending on the ratio of compression.
The higher the compression ratio, the more image quality will deteriorate, as shown in the diagram below.
Low
Compression ratio
High
High Low
Quality
[Standard] [Image Priority] [Speed Priority]
This setting allows you to select the compression mode as desired, such as for printing high-quality image data. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this option set to [Standard].
If [Image Priority] is selected, data will be stored at a low compression ratio to minimize deterioration of image quality.
If [Speed Priority] is selected, more data will be storable in the machine's memory, allowing you to minimize any decrease in speed. However, the data will be stored at a high compression ratio, and the image quality will be lower.
NOTE
•
For all selections within this setting, if the data is too large to be stored in the machine's memory, it will be recompressed at a high compression ratio.
•
To avoid deterioration in image quality resulting from repeated recompression,
select [Display Error] for Compressed Image Output (See p. 3-44). This allows you
to cancel a job before an image with deterioration is printed out.
•
Depending on the image data, the image quality may not change even if the compression mode is changed.

, Gradation, and Text
This setting enables you to adjust the toner volume so that it falls within a restricted value when the toner volume exceeds a device-internal value for text, lines, or other types of print data. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this setting as [Normal].
If [Normal] is selected, text and line data are printed with a toner volume that upholds the resolution for text and lines. Other types of data are printed with a toner volume that upholds the color.
If [Gradation] is selected, all data is printed with a toner volume that upholds the color.
If [Text] is selected, all data is printed with a toner volume that upholds the resolution.
NOTE
•
The internal restriction value cannot be changed.
•
This setting can only be applied to jobs in the PS mode and PDF1.5 mode.
•
If [Gradation] is selected, characters and lines may bleed.
•
If [Text] is selected, the color may not match.

When a secured print job is sent to the machine, it is stored on the machine's hard disk, and a password must be entered before the job can be printed. This setting specifies how long the job will be stored before it is automatically canceled.
NOTE
•
Even if the time period specified with this setting has not elapsed, the print job data is deleted if the main power to the machine is switched OFF or if you reset the
printer. (See "Reset Printer," on p. 3-100.)

When the 'Personality' is set to [Auto], the machine detects the control commands and starts printing in the appropriate mode. After all the data has been received and the end of the data is detected, the print mode stops. This processing of print data is called a job.
If the data for a job does not end, the machine does not start the next job even if it receives other print commands. In cases like this, use the 'Timeout' setting to force jobs to finish if no data is received during the set period of time.
If Timeout is enabled, jobs can finish automatically. For example, if print data still remains in the machine because a form feed command cannot be processed, the paper can be fed automatically.
If Timeout is [Off], jobs will not end automatically.
IMPORTANT
•
If this function is set so that a job will timeout, the machine may end a print job before all the data has been received if it takes a long time for the PC to send the data. If this occurs, adjust the length of the 'Timeout' setting.
•
If [Off] is selected, you will not be able to make copies until print jobs that use the
Staple and Punch settings have been completed.
•
If you send data from a printer driver that is not compatible with the machine, and the end of job command is not received within the time set in this setting, the machine cancels the job, which may cause the data to be printed incorrectly.
NOTE
When a job is being processed, the Processing/Data indicator on the control panel blinks green.

Print After Completing RIP
On, Off
*
This setting sets whether to use the Print After Completing RIP function.
RIP (Raster Image Processor) is used for advanced graphical representation.
If Print After Completing RIP is enabled, the first page is printed after all the pages in the job have been processed.
Although it may take longer to print the first page, the remaining pages in the job will be printed more quickly. This is useful when several people are using the machine or when using another function, such as the Copy function, because the printing time for a print job is reduced.
IMPORTANT
Please note that the memory of the machine can store up to 6,000 pages. When you send a secured document to be stored in the memory to be printed at a later time, and the memory is full (already reached its maximum capacity), your document will not be stored. The memory may be full because the machine is being used for other functions (such as storing a document in an inbox or storing a form) or other jobs, which use memory space.

This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.
If [Auto Detect] or [Full Color] is selected, the machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
If [Black and White] is selected, data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in color.
NOTE
If different color data is overlaid, the machine may not distinguish color from monochrome, even if [Auto Detect] or [Full Color] is selected. For example, although the printout looks monochrome, if different color data is overlaid, it is printed in full color mode, thereby using the color toner cartridges to print, not the black toner cartridge. Furthermore, if the data is created as color data in the application you are using, it is printed in full color mode, even though the data looks monochrome.

Halftones
Text: Resolution * , Gradation, and Error Diffusion
Graphics: Resolution * , Gradation, and Error Diffusion
Image: Resolution * , Gradation, and Error Diffusion
This setting specifies how you print halftones.
Halftoning is used to print each process color at a different intensity, allowing millions of different color to be reproduced using only the four process colors.
Depending on the required intensity of a given color, toner is placed on paper in dots of different sizes. The grid of dots used for each toner color is called a screen. Halftone screens are aligned to unique angles designed to eliminate interference patterns called moiré (a shimmering, wavy effect) that can arise with halftoning.
If [Resolution] is selected, a dither pattern that gives priority to the resolution of the images is used. This helps eliminate the appearance of jagged or uneven lines along the edges of objects and is best for printing standard text and graphics.
If [Gradation] is selected, a dither pattern that gives priority to the appearance of smooth changes in tone is used. This is best for reproducing images with delicate gradations or changes of tone.
If [Error Diffusion] is selected, an error diffusion method that gives priority to printing fine lines or text is used. This is best for printing images with small text or very fine lines.

A dither pattern creates the illusion of varying shades of gray or additional colors by treating areas of an image as groups of dots that are colored in different patterns.

This setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text when printing black text over a color background or graphics.
If [On] is selected, you can overprint black text. When this setting is used in combination with 'Pure Black Text', the machine first prints the full color background, then lays the black text on the top of the color background as 100%
K (black) toner. Overprinting also reduces misalignment of colors and a halo effect that can appear around the edge of the text.
Test
Black Overprint [On]
If [Off] is selected, black text is printed with knockouts. The machine first prints the color background with the black text areas "knocked out" (no color is printed in the text areas). The black text is then printed in the knocked out area, filling in the areas not printed in color. This may result in the black text appearing lighter, or cause a halo effect that can appear around the edge of the text.

, Gradation, and Error Diffusion
This setting specifies how you print halftones.
Halftoning is used to print each process color at a different intensity, allowing millions of different color to be reproduced using only the four process colors.
Depending on the required intensity of a given color, toner is placed on paper in dots of different sizes. The grid of dots used for each toner color is called a screen. Halftone screens are aligned to unique angles designed to eliminate interference patterns called moiré (a shimmering, wavy effect) that can arise with halftoning.
If [Resolution] is selected, a dither pattern that gives priority to the resolution of the images is used. This helps eliminate the appearance of jagged or uneven lines along the edges of objects and is best for printing standard text and graphics.
If [Gradation] is selected, a dither pattern that gives priority to the appearance of smooth changes in tone is used. This is best for reproducing images with delicate gradations or changes of tone.
If [Error Diffusion] is selected, an error diffusion method that gives priority to printing fine lines or text is used. This is best for printing images with small text or very fine lines.

This setting specifies how you print halftones.
Halftoning is used to print each process color at a different intensity, allowing millions of different color to be reproduced using only the four process colors.
Depending on the required intensity of a given color, toner is placed on paper in dots of different sizes. The grid of dots used for each toner color is called a screen. Halftone screens are aligned to unique angles designed to eliminate interference patterns called moiré (a shimmering, wavy effect) that can arise with halftoning.
If [Resolution] is selected, a dither pattern that gives priority to the resolution of the images is used. This helps eliminate the appearance of jagged or uneven lines along the edges of objects and is best for printing standard text and graphics.
If [Gradation] is selected, a dither pattern that gives priority to the appearance of smooth changes in tone is used. This is best for reproducing images with delicate gradations or changes of tone.
If [Error Diffusion] is selected, an error diffusion method that gives priority to printing fine lines or text is used. This is best for printing images with small text or very fine lines.
Resolution Gradation
The above dithering patterns are examples.
Error Diffusion
IMPORTANT
The setting for 'Text' is invalid if 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi].
NOTE
A dither pattern creates the illusion of varying shades of gray or additional colors by treating areas of an image as groups of dots that are colored in different patterns.

Overview of Direct Printing
Direct Print is a print function that enables you to send a file without using a printer driver from the host terminal to the machine, which recognizes the file. Therefore, you do not need to open the file to print it.
You can print a PDF file or an Image file (TIFF/JPEG) by specifying the location on your computer or URL from the Remote UI.
You can also use the Direct Print function by entering a command (LPR command) in the command prompt.
IMPORTANT
•
To make the Direct Print function available, first register the license, then turn the main power of the machine OFF and then ON again, and finally initializing the printer's settings
to their default values. For more information, see "Reset Printer," on p. 3-100.
•
With Direct Print, "Settings Menu," "PS Settings," "Imaging Settings," and "PDF1.5
Settings" are available from the touch panel display. For settings with these menus, see

[RGB Source
Profile]
[CMYK
Simulation
Profile]
This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (color data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing color images or graphics made by the RGB color model.
[sRGB]
This setting specifies the industry standard definition for generic Windows (PC) monitors. If you are using an sRGB compatible monitor, you can print out colors close to how they appear on your monitor.
[Gamma 1.5, Gamma 1.8, and Gamma 2.4]
These settings enable you to select the gamma correct level of the RGB data. The higher the value, the darker the printout.
[None]
When this setting is selected, device dependent RGB data is converted into CMYK without applying the RGB profile.
[Download Profile]
This setting specifies the profiles you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using NetSpot Resource
Downloader. You can store up to 100 profiles.
This setting allows you to specify the simulation target to print the CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK) data. The machine converts CMYK data into a device dependent CMYK color model based on the simulation target selected in the CMYK
Simulation Profile.
[JapanColor(Canon)]
This setting uses the JapanColor profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Japan.
[US Web Coated(Canon)]
This setting uses the U.S. Web Coated profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in the USA.
[Euro Standard]
This setting uses the Euro Standard profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Europe.
[None]
When this setting is selected, device dependent CMYK data is printed as is without applying the CMYK profile.
[Download Profile]
This setting uses custom simulation target that you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using
NetSpot Resource Downloader. You can store up to 100 profiles.

[Output Profile] This setting allows you to define the profile that is appropriate for the data you are going to print. It is applied to all data in the print job, so make sure the selected profile is right for your job.
[Normal]
This setting prints the colors closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor.
[Photo]
This setting prints colors close to photographic prints.
[Download Profile]
This setting uses custom simulation target that you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using
NetSpot Resource Downloader. You can store up to 100 profiles.
[Matching
Method]
This setting allows you to specify a method of printing when the
RGB Source Profile is applied. This machine includes a color management system that provides the following color rendering styles.
[Perceptual]
This setting produces the best results for photographic or bitmapped images.
[Saturation]
This setting is best suited for printing illustrations and diagrams used in business presentations.
[Colorimetric]
This setting provides a close match to the RGB color value of the machine's printing range.
[Use Grayscale
Profile]
You can convert device dependent gray data into CMYK data by using the Grayscale Profile of the machine. However, the data may be reproduced using only the black (K) toner, depending upon the Pure Black Text or Output Profile.
[Pure Black Text] This setting affects the printout for black (R=G=B=0% or
C=M=Y=100%/Bk=N%) text on a page. Under most circumstances it is preferable to leave this option selected.
If you enable this option, black colors generated by applications are printed using only 100% black toner. This means that the color toner will not be misaligned since only one toner color (black) is used.
5-14
Printing Directly from the Remote UI
[Black Overprint] This setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text when printing black text over a color background or graphics.
If you enable this option, you can overprint black text. When this setting is used in combination with the Pure Black Text option, the machine first prints the full color background, then lays the black text on the top of the color background as 100%
K (black) toner. Overprinting also reduces misalignment of colors and a halo effect that can appear around the edge of the text.
[Use Composite
Overprinting]
You can overprint device-dependent CMYK data as composite output.
All colors used for data are overlaid and printed on one plate so you can check the finished result without separating the colors.
[Brightness] This setting adjusts the brightness of the overall image. The settings can be set between 85% and 115% in increments of
5%.
Selecting [85%] makes the image brighter, and selecting
[115%] makes it darker.
[Perform Gray
Compensation]
This setting determines whether only black (K) toner is used.
If you enable this option, black and gray data is printed using the black (K) toner only, which lessens toner bleeding.
[Perform Spot
Color Matching]
This setting enables you to specify the optimum method of reproducing Spot Colors.
Using a named color profile, you can print converting to the device-independent color matching the spot color.

Profile]
This setting prints Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format) image data close to the conditions when the images were taken. Images taken with digital cameras that support Exif format contain embedded shooting criteria data, such as exposure mode, white balance, flash on/off, and shooting scene data, such as shooting modes for specific subjects.
This setting specifies how you print halftones.
Halftoning is used to print each process color at a different intensity, allowing millions of different color to be reproduced using only the four process colors.
Depending on the required intensity of a given color, toner is placed on paper in dots of different sizes. The grid of dots used for each toner color is called a screen. Halftone screens are aligned to unique angles designed to eliminate interference patterns called moiré (a shimmering, wavy effect) that can arise with halftoning.

Some Basic Facts about Fonts
7
This section summarizes some of the basic facts you should know about fonts.
What Is a Font?
A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font. A font consists of the letters A to Z in both upper and lowercase, digits, and symbols.
The design that distinguishes one font from another is referred to as a "typeface."
Each font has a typeface name, such as Courier, CG Times, Letter Gothic, etc.
Attributes of Fonts
All fonts share some common characteristics, which are called "attributes." The typeface is one such attribute. The letters and symbols that are actually printed are determined by the values of a collection of these attributes.
Typeface
Stroke Weight
Style
Point Size
Pitch (cpi)
Character
Width (Fixed/
PS)
Orientation
The design of the letters (e.g., Courier, CG Times, Helvetica, or Gothic).
The thickness of the lines with which the letters are drawn (e.g., bold, medium, or light).
Whether the letters are drawn straight or at an angle (e.g., upright or italic).
Height of the letters (e.g., 10 point or 5 point).
Number of characters that are printed in one inch (e.g., 10 cpi, 12 cpi, or
Scale).
Indicates whether the character width is set to "Fixed" or "Proportional."
Symbol Set
Orientation of the characters on a page ("Portrait" or "Landscape").
The rule that defines the correspondence between the character codes coming from the host computer, and the letter forms that appear on the page (e.g., Roman-8).
7-2
Some Basic Facts about Fonts
Typeface
Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces.
Stroke Weight
Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available. The figure below shows an example of medium and bold printing.
Style
Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two styles: upright and italic.
With some fonts, like CourierPS and Letter Gothic, the terms "Oblique" and
"Slanted" are used in the same manner as italics.
7
Some Basic Facts about Fonts
7-3
Point Size
Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about
0.35 mm). The printer function has bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available.
The bitmapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size.
Scalable fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. The following figure shows an example of various point sizes.
7
NOTE
See "Fonts and Scalable Fonts," on p. 7-6, for more information on bitmapped fonts and
scalable fonts.
Pitch (cpi)
Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi
(characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between characters increases.
15 cpi
12 cpi
10 cpi
7-4
Some Basic Facts about Fonts
Character Width (Fixed and PS)
Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given point size. For example, "W" is a wider letter than "I." There are two ways to print letters of different widths: you can print all letters with the same spacing, regardless of their actual width; or you can change the spacing between letters to accommodate these different widths. Printing all letters with the same spacing is called "Fixed spacing," while changing the spacing to accommodate different letter widths is called "Proportional spacing."
Because the Fixed spacing method prints all letters with the same spacing, the number of characters which will fit into a given length is a fixed quantity which can be specified.
If the characters are printed with Proportional spacing, then the number of characters that will fit into an inch varies depending on the letters printed.
Orientation
Orientation refers to the direction of printing. The printer function can print using two different paper orientations: portrait and landscape. With portrait orientation, text is printed across the width of the paper (short edge), and with landscape orientation, text is printed across the length of the paper (long edge).

Some Basic Facts about Fonts
7-5
Symbol Set
When you print the letter "A," the host computer sends a code corresponding to "A"
(hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code. In this case, the machine searches for the pattern for "A," and prints it.
■
The process by which letters are printed
7
Computer Machine Character
Patterns
The machine uses a fixed rule to decide which letter or symbol corresponds to the character code sent from the host computer. For example, the letter "A" is printed for the hexadecimal code "41." The rule which determines the correspondence between character codes and printed letters is called the "symbol set."
Fonts and Scalable Fonts
There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed.
•
Bitmapped fonts
•
Scalable fonts
Bitmapped Fonts
Each character of bitmapped fonts are composed of a grid of small dots and stored in the machine's memory in dot matrix format.
7-6
Some Basic Facts about Fonts
Bitmapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by characteristics called "attributes," such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on. Various types of bitmapped fonts are produced by the combination of these attributes.
Scalable Fonts
With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.
7
Some Basic Facts about Fonts

Standard Scalable Fonts (PCL)
With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.)
The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.
