Printer Defaults Help

View, set, or change general printer settings from the Printer Defaults page. Making changes to printer default settings through CentreWare IS is the same as making the corresponding changes from the printer's front panel. Changes to settings are saved in the printer's memory and are overridden on a job-by-job basis by settings made from the printer driver. 

User Preferences

Startup Page

  • On - The Startup Page prints every time the printer is reset. The default setting is On.
  • Off - The Startup Page is not printed.

Front Panel Menus

  • On - The front panel displays all menus and allows full access to the settings. The default setting is On.
  • Off - This limits the menu items displayed on the front panel, preventing users from changing front panel settings that may affect the prints of other users. If the Front Panel Menus field is set to Off, users cannot access the Default Printer Settings menu, Advanced Printer Settings menu, or Network Settings menu.

PostScript Error Information

  • On - The printer prints a summary report of all PostScript errors that occurred during the print job.

  • On - Power Saver mode is set on.
  • Off - Power Saver mode is set off.

Set Front Panel Language - Select the default language for the printer front panel from the drop-down box. All available languages for the printer model are contained in the list.

Accessible Front Panel - This option turns on or off front panel accessibility for disabled persons. When On is selected, the front panel will not timeout and key repeating is turned off. When this field is set to Off, the front panel times out after a short period of no activity and key repeating is turned on. The default setting is Off.

  • On - Accessible options mode is set on.
  • Off - Accessible options mode is set off.

Metric Defaults - This field selects whether default sizes that are affected by the Reset Printer Setup are measured in millimeters or inches. The default setting is Off.

  • On - All affected interfaces are set to metric dimensions after an NVRAM reset.

Timeout Settings

Wait Timeout, Job Timeout, and Load Paper Timeout settings control when print jobs are automatically canceled. Power Saver Timeout controls the length of time before the printer goes into power saving mode.

Wait Timeout - The value in this field determines how long the printer waits for expected data during a print job. If the printer does not receive expected data within the specified period of time after the job is started, the printer cancels the job. Enter a value in seconds. A value of 0 indicates no timeout; that is, the printer does not time out while waiting for data. The value entered must be between 0 and 2147483. The default setting is 120 seconds.

Job Timeout - The value in this field determines how long the printer waits during an interrupted print job before ending the job. Enter a value in seconds. A value of 0 indicates no timeout; that is, the printer will never cancel the job. The value entered must be between 0 and 65535.

Load Paper Timeout - The value in this field determines how long the printer waits for paper to be loaded during a print job before canceling the job. Click on the drop-down box and select a value from the list. A value of None indicates no timeout; that is, the printer will never cancel the job until paper is loaded. The default setting is 3 minutes.

Power Saver Timeout
The value in this field determines the length of time in minutes before the printer goes into power saving mode per ENERGY STAR® guidelines. Click on the drop-down box and select a value from the list. The default setting is 30 minutes.

Print Mode Settings

Change the settings here to adjust print speed and image appearance.

Print-Quality Mode

Select a Print-Quality Mode depending on your printing needs. These modes affect both the appearance of your prints and the time required to print them. The default Print-Quality Mode is 600 x 600 dpi.

  • 600 x 600 dpi - Selects the print resolution to be 600 dots per inch.
  • True 1200 x 1200 dpi - Selects the print resolution to be true 1200 dots per inch.
  • Draft Mode - Selects lightened use of toner at 600 dots per inch.

Image Smoothing

Image Smoothing blends adjacent shades of gray in low-resolution images for smoother shade transitions. For example, use Image Smoothing to improve the appearance of a 72-dpi image downloaded from the web. Image Smoothing is not recommended for 300-dpi or higher images. The default value for this field is Off.

2-Sided Printing

You can choose to print on both sides of a sheet of paper. Options are Disabled, Long Edge, and Short Edge. If you select Disabled, the printer prints only on one side of a sheet of paper. Use Disabled when printing on transparencies, envelopes, or labels.

Long Edge - Prints on both sides of a sheet of paper with the images printed so the job can be bound on the long edge of the sheet. Set Paper orientation in the printer driver to either Landscape or Portrait.
Short Edge - Prints on both ides of a sheet of paper with the images printed so the job can be bound on the short edge of the sheet. Set Paper orientation in the printer driver to either Landscape or Portrait.

Note: This field is not displayed if 2-sided printing is not supported by the printer configuration. To use the 2-sided printing feature, you must have a Phaser 4500B or Phaser 4500N with the optional duplex unit installed, or a Phaser 4500DT or 4500DX printer. The Phaser 4500DT and Phaser 4500DX printer configurations include the duplex unit standard. For more information on recommended paper types, refer to your printer documentation.

Edge-To-Edge Printing

Select On from the drop-down box to print documents to the edge of the page. Select Off for industry standard unprintable margins. The default value is On.

Paper Source

If the sent print job has Paper Source specified using the printer driver, the printer driver value is used. If no value for Paper Source has been specified in the printer driver, the printer uses the value stored in the Paper Source field in CentreWare IS. If no value has been selected for Paper Source in CentreWare IS, this field defaults to AutoSelect. Supported values are:

  • AutoSelect - The printer determines which tray to use depending on the job.
  • Tray 1 - The printer takes media from Tray 1.
  • Tray 2 - The printer takes media from Tray 2.
  • Tray 3 - The printer takes media from Tray 3*.
  • Tray 4 - The printer takes media from Tray 4*.

* Available only if optional tray is installed.

Tray Sequence - If multiple trays are installed on the printer, you can select which order the printer will select media from. Click the drop-down box for the options available.

Job Offset

Select this option for the printer to place sheets in offset positions between jobs. Job Offset is also known as "jogging" or "job separation". The default setting is Off. This field is not displayed if the stacker is not installed on the printer.

  • On - Changes the paper output position after the last page of the job is printed.
  • Off - Turns Job Offset off.

Output Tray

Select the paper destination from Standard Output Tray or Stacker. The default setting is Standard Output Tray. This field is not displayed if the stacker is not installed on the printer.

Output Tray Switch

When any output tray is full and Output Tray Switch is Off, printing stops and the printer front panel displays an error. When any output tray is full and Output Tray Switch is On, printing continues with prints stacked in the non-full output tray, and the printer front panel displays a warning. The default setting is On. This field is not displayed if the stacker is not installed on the printer.

Print With Low Toner

You can continue to print when the toner is low and maximize toner life by selecting On from the drop-down box. Select Off to ensure print quality. The default setting is On.
