Printing functions
This section explains the useful functions which can be set with the Printer Driver. For more information, refer to the Printing
System Driver User Guide.
Half Speed Mode (Printer Driver Settings)
Half speed mode reduces the print speed to half the rated speed. When selected, the toner adheres better when printing
on small size, thick, or textured paper. In addition, you can select the half speed mode to feed thick paper smoothly and
avoid the paper jam. This mode may result in quieter printing.
Line Thinning (Printer Driver Settings)
Line thinning reduces the pen width of lines used for barcodes and line drawings. Drawing values controlled by an
application are not changed.
Correct fine line by device
Enable correction of pen width by device. This feature is available only on supported models.
Custom Box (Optional Feature)
Custom Box is a component box which you can create within the Document Box and store data for later retrieval.
You can create or delete a Custom Box, and data can be exchanged in various ways. To use a Custom Box, an optional
SSD must be installed in the printer.
For more details on Custom Box operation, refer to Custom Box on page 5-4.
Job Box (Optional Feature)
Job Box holds temporary or permanent print data for use with job options including Private Print, Stored Job, Quick Copy
and Proof and Hold which will be discussed later.
Four individual Job Boxes corresponding to these job options are already provided in the Document Box. These Job Boxes
cannot be created or deleted by a user.
For more details on Job Box operation, refer to Job Box on page 5-24.
