This menu allows you to make standard print settings, such as paper source and page size, even when printing from an application or operating system that does not support your printer driver. Be sure to use the printer driver to make these settings whenever you can, since settings made in the application software always override SelecType settings.
Most of the items in the Printing menu can be accessed directly through the OneTouch modes. These items are listed on your printer's control panel beside the OneTouch mode indicator lights. For more information, see Using the OneTouch Modes.

| Note: |
| You can also make the RITech setting directly from OneTouch mode 2. For details, see Using the OneTouch Modes. |
When you select On, the printer saves toner by substituting a gray shade for the black inside of characters. The characters are outlined in full black on the right and lower edges.
| Note: |
| You can also make the Toner Save setting directly from OneTouch mode 2. |
You can adjust the print density to make your printout lighter (1) or darker (5).
| Note: |
| Increasing the print density increases toner consumption. If you select darker print, you may need to replace the imaging cartridge more often. |
Make fine adjustments to the vertical position of the printing on the page.
 | Caution: |
| Be sure that the printed image does not extend beyond the edge of the paper. Otherwise, you may damage the printer. |
Makes fine adjustments to the horizontal position of the printing on the page. This is useful for fine adjustments when you are using the manual feed mode.
| Caution: |
| Be sure that the printed image does not extend beyond the edge of the paper. Otherwise, you may damage the printer. |
Adjusts the vertical printing position on the back side of the paper when printing on both sides. Use this if the printout on the back side is not where you expected. This item is available only when the optional Duplex Unit is installed.
Adjusts the horizontal printing position on the back side of the paper when printing on both sides. Use this if the printout on the back side is not where you expected. This item is available only when the optional Duplex Unit is installed.
If you want to ignore a paper size error, select On. When you turn this item on, the printer keeps printing even if the image size exceeds the printable area for the specified size of paper. This may cause smudges because of toner that is not transferred onto the paper properly. When this item is off, the printer stops printing if a paper size error occurs.
When you turn this setting on, the printer automatically continues printing after a certain period of time when one of the following errors occurs: Paper Set, Print Overrun, or Mem Overflow. When this option is off, you must press the Continue button to resume printing.
Allocates additional printer memory for printing data, as opposed to receiving it. You may need to use Page Protect if you are printing a very complex page. If a Print Overrun error occurs, change the setting to On and reprint your data. This reduces the amount of memory reserved for receiving data so your computer may take longer to send the print job, but it will allow you to print complex jobs. Page Protect usually works best if set to Auto. You will need to increase your printer's memory if memory errors continue to occur.
| Note: |
| Changing the Page Protect setting reconfigures the printer's memory which causes any downloaded fonts to be erased. |
When this mode is on, the quality of graphics is reduced. It reduces the amount of graphics data when the data reaches the memory limit, allowing complex documents to be printed.
Use this setting when you print on thick paper. Select Thick W when the width of your thick paper is more than 201.5 mm, and select Thick N when the width of the thick paper is less than 201.5 mm.
This menu allows you to customize various printer modes, select an LCD panel language, check the total number of pages printed to date, and check the toner counter.

Use this option to set the data transfer rate (baud) for the serial interface. The baud rate is measured in bits per second (bps). See your computer manual and software documentation for the proper setting.
When this option is set to None, parity checking is disabled. The parity bit, if used, provides a basic form of error detection. See your computer manual and software documentation for the proper setting.
Use this option to set the number of stop bits for each character of information sent to the printer. Stop bits signal the end of a character.
Use DTR (Data Terminal Ready) to turn the printer's DTR communications protocol on or off. You can use DTR protocol in combination with the Xon/Xoff option setting.
When DSR (Data Set Ready) is set to Off, the signal level is permanently set high, allowing the printer to send data to the computer. For most communications purposes, this option should be set to Off (signal level high). When DSR is set to On, data is sent to the computer only when the signal level is high.
Use this option to set the Xon/Xoff communications protocol. You can use Xon/Xoff protocol in combination with the DTR option setting. If set to Robust, the printer sends an Xon signal every second while the printer is waiting to receive data.
Determines the amount of memory to be used for receiving data and printing data. If set to Maximum, more memory is allocated for receiving data. If set to Minimum, more memory is allocated for printing data.

Sets the distance from the top of the page to the baseline of the first printable line. The distance is measured in inches. The smaller the value, the closer the printable line is to the top.
Sets the page length in lines. For this option, a line is assumed to be 1 pica (1/6 inch). If you change the Orientation, Page Size, or T. Margin settings, the page length setting automatically returns to the default setting for each paper size.
Use the character generator (CG) table option to select the graphics character table or the italics table. The graphics table contains graphic characters for printing lines, corners, shaded areas, international characters, Greek characters, and mathematical symbols. If you select Italic, the upper half of the character table is defined as italic characters.
Use this option to select one of the fifteen international symbol sets. See International character sets for samples of the characters in each country's symbol set.
Specifies whether the printer performs a carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation whenever the printer position goes beyond the right margin. If this setting is off, the printer does not print any characters beyond the right margin and does not perform any line wrapping until it receives a carriage-return character. This function is handled automatically by most application software.
If you set this option to Off, the printer does not send an automatic line-feed (LF) command with each carriage-return (CR). If this is set to On, a line-feed command is sent with each carriage-return. Set to On if your text lines overlap.
The printer is able to emulate the graphics densities set with the printer commands. If you select Dark, the bit image density is high, and if you select Light, the bit image density is low.
If you select BarCode, the printer converts bit images to bar codes by automatically filling in any vertical gaps between dots. This produces unbroken vertical lines that can be read by a bar code reader. This mode will reduce the size of the image being printed, and may also cause some distortion when printing bit image graphics.
Specifies whether the printer prints a slashed or unslashed zero.
This menu allows you to make settings which affect the printer when it is in the FX emulation mode.
