Setting a Page Size and Orientation

The paper size and orientation are essentially determined by the application software. When the page size and orientation set for Page Size and Orientation on the Page Setup tab are same as those set with the application software, you do not need to select them on the Page Setup tab.

When you are not able to specify them with the application software, the procedure for selecting a page size and orientation is as follows:

You can also set page size and orientation on the Quick Setup tab.

1.


2.

Select the paper size

Select a page size from the Page Size list on the Page Setup tab.

3.

Set Orientation

Select Portrait or Landscape for Orientation. Check Rotate 180 degrees check box when you want to perform printing with the original being rotated 180 degrees.

4.

Complete the setup

Click OK.

When you execute print, the document will be printed with the selected page size and the orientation.

Note

If Normal-size is selected for Page Layout, then Automatically reduce large document that the

printer cannot output is displayed.

Normally, you can leave the Automatically reduce large document that the printer cannot output check box checked. During printing, if you do not want to reduce large documents that cannot be printed on the printer, uncheck the check box.

Setting the Number of Copies and Printing Order

The procedure for specifying the number of copies and printing order is as follows:

You can also set the number of copies on the Quick Setup tab.

1.


2.

Specify the number of copies to be printed

For Copies on the Page Setup tab, specify the number of copies to be printed.

3.

Specify the print order

Check the Print from Last Page check box when you want to print from the last page in order, and uncheck the check box when you want to print from the first page.

Check the Collate check box when you are printing multiple copies of a document and want to print out all pages in each copy together. Uncheck this check box when you want to print all pages with the same page number together.

• Print from Last Page: /Collate:




4.

Complete the setup

Click OK.

When you execute print, the specified number of copies will be printed with the specified printing order.

Important

When the application software that you used to create the document has the same function, specify the settings on the printer driver. However, if the print results are not acceptable, specify the function settings on the application software. When you specify the number of copies and the printing order with both the application software and this printer driver, the number of copies may be multiplied numbers of the two settings or the specified printing order may not be enabled.

Print from Last Page appears grayed out and is unavailable when Tiling/Poster is selected for

Page Layout.

When Booklet is selected for Page Layout, Print from Last Page and Collate appear grayed out and cannot be set.

When Duplex Printing is selected, Print from Last Page appears grayed out and cannot be set.

Note

By setting both Print from Last Page and Collate, you can perform printing so that papers are collated one by one starting from the last page.

These settings can be used in combination with Normal-size, Borderless, Fit-to-Page, Scaled, Page

Layout, and Duplex Printing.

Setting the Stapling Margin

The procedure for setting the staple side and the margin width is as follows:

1.


2.

Specify the side to be stapled

Check the position of the stapling margin from Stapling Side on the Page Setup tab.

The printer analyzes the Orientation and Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best staple position. When you want to change the setting, select from the list.

3.

Set the margin width

If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the margin width, and then click OK.

Note

The printer automatically reduces the print area depending on the staple position margin.

4.

Complete the setup

Click OK on the Page Setup tab.

When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified staple side and margin width.

Important

Stapling Side and Specify Margin... appear grayed out and are unavailable when:

Borderless, Tiling/Poster, or Booklet is selected for Page Layout

Scaled is selected for Page Layout (When Duplex Printing is also selected, only Stapling Side can be specified.)

Execute Borderless Printing

The borderless printing function allows you to print data without any margin by enlarging the data so that it extends slightly off the paper. In standard printing, margins are created around the document area.

However, in borderless printing function, these margins are not created. When you want to print data such as a photo without providing any margin around it, set borderless printing.

The procedure for performing borderless printing is as follows:

You can also set borderless printing in Additional Features on the Quick Setup tab.

Setting Borderless Printing

1.


2.

Set borderless printing

Select Borderless from the Page Layout list on the Page Setup tab.

Click OK when the confirmation message appears.

When a message prompting you to change the media type appears, select a media type from the list and click OK.

3.

Check the paper size

Check the Page Size list. When you want to change it, select another page size from the list. The list displays only sizes that can be used for borderless printing.

4.

Adjust the amount of extension from the paper

If necessary, adjust the amount of extension using the Amount of Extension slider.

Moving the slider to the right increases the amount extending off the paper, and moving the slider to the left decreases the amount.

It is recommended to set the slider at the second position from the right for most cases.

Important

When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the rightmost position, the back side of the paper may become smudged.

5.

Complete the setup

Click OK.

When you execute print, the data is printed without any margins on the paper.

Important

When a page size that cannot be used for borderless printing is selected, the size is automatically changed to the valid page sizes for borderless printing.

When Borderless is selected, the Printer Paper Size, Duplex Printing, Stapling Side settings, and the Stamp/Background... (Stamp...) button on the Page Setup tab appear grayed out and are unavailable.

When Envelope, High Resolution Paper, or T-Shirt Transfers is selected from the Media Type list on the Main tab, you cannot perform borderless printing.

Depending on the type of the media used during borderless printing, the print quality may deteriorate at the top and bottom of the sheet or stains may form.

When the ratio of the height to the width differs from the image data, a portion of the image may not be printed depending on the size of the media used.

In this case, crop the image data with an application software according to the paper size.

Note

When Plain Paper is selected for Media Type on the Main tab, borderless printing is not recommended. Therefore, the message for media selection appears.

When you are using plain paper for test printing, select Plain Paper, and click OK.

Expanding the Range of the Document to Print

Setting a large amount of extension allows you to perform borderless printing with no problems. However, the portion of the document extending off the paper range will not be printed and for this reason, the subjects around the perimeter of a photo may not be printed.

Try borderless printing once. When you are not satisfied with the result of borderless printing, reduce the amount of extension. The extension amount decreases as the Amount of Extension slider is moved to the left.

Important

When the amount of extension is decreased, an unexpected margin may be produced on the print, depending on the size of the paper.

Note

When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the leftmost position, image data will be printed in the full size. If you set this when printing the address side of a postcard, the postal code of the sender is printed in the correct position.

When Preview before printing is checked on the Main tab, you can confirm whether there will be no border before printing.

Fit-to-Page Printing

When the printer paper size is smaller than the Page Size, the page image will be reduced. When the printer paper size is larger than the Page Size, the page image will be enlarged.

• Specify a scaling factor

Directly type in a value into the Scaling box.


5.

Complete the setup

Click OK.

When you execute print, the document will be printed with the specified scale.

Important

When the application software which you used to create the original has the scaled printing function, configure the settings on your application software. You do not need to configure the same setting in the printer driver.

Optimal Photo Printing of Image Data




Optimal Photo Printing of Image Data

When people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed color tones differ from those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor.

To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a printing method that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose.

Color Management

Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently. Color management (color matching) is a method that manages device-dependent "colors" as a common color space.

For Windows, a color management system called "ICM" is built into the operating system.

Adobe RGB and sRGB are popularly used as common color spaces. Adobe RGB has a wider color space than sRGB.

ICC profiles convert device-dependent "colors" into a common color space. By using an ICC profile and carrying out color management, you can draw out the color space of the image data within the color reproduction area that the printer can express.

Selecting a Printing Method Suited to the Image Data

The recommended printing method depends on the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data or the application software to be used.

There are two typical printing methods.

Check the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data and the application software to be used, and then select the printing method suited to your purpose.

Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver

Describes the procedure for printing sRGB data by using the color correction function of the printer driver.

• To print using Canon Digital Photo Color

The printer prints data with color tints that most people prefer, reproducing colors of the original image data and producing three-dimensional effects and high, sharp contrasts.

• To print by directly applying editing and touch-up results of an application software

When printing the data, the printer brings out subtle color difference between dark and light areas, while leaving the darkest and lightest areas intact.

When printing the data, the printer applies fine adjustment results, such as brightness adjustments made with an application software.

Printing with ICC Profiles

Describes the procedure for printing by using the color space of Adobe RGB or sRGB effectively.

You can print with a common color space by setting up the application software and the printer driver so that the color management matches the input ICC profile of the image data.

The method for setting up the printer driver differs depending on the application software to be used.

Printing with ICC Profiles

When the image data has a specified input ICC profile, you can print by using the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the data effectively.

The printer driver setting procedure varies depending on the application software used to print.

Specify an ICC Profile from the Application Software and Print the Data

When you print the editing and touch-up results of Adobe Photoshop, Canon Digital Photo Professional, or any application software that allows you to specify input and printing ICC profiles, you print by effectively using the color space of the input ICC profile specified in the image data.

To use this printing method, use your application software to select color management items and specify an input ICC profile and a printing ICC profile in the image data.

Even if you print using a printing ICC profile that you created yourself or one for special Canon paper from your application software, be sure to select color management items from your application software.

For instructions, refer to the manual of the application software you are using.
