Disable ICM required from the application software

Disables the ICM function required from the application software.
When an application software uses Windows ICM to print data, unexpected colors may be produced or the printing speed may decrease. If these problems occur, checking this check box may resolve the problems.

Important

• Uncheck this check box under normal circumstances.
• This function does not work when ICM is selected for Color Correction on the Matching tab of the Manual Color Adjustment dialog box.

Note

• Disable ICM required from the application software tab cannot be used with the XPS printer driver.

Disable the color profile setting of the application software

Checking this check box disables information in the color profile that was set on the application software.
When the information in the color profile set on the application software is output to the printer driver, the print result may contain unexpected colors. If this happens, checking this check box may resolve the problem.

Important

• Even when this check box is checked, only some of the information in the color profile is disabled, and the color profile can still be used for printing.
• Uncheck this check box under normal circumstances.

Disable the paper source setting of the application software

Disables the paper feeding method that is set by the application.
With some applications such as Microsoft Word, the data may be printed with a feeding method that differs from the printer driver setting. In this case, check this function.

Important

• When this function is enabled, normally the paper feeding method cannot be changed from the Canon IJ Preview.
  However, if you are using the XPS printer driver, you will be able to change the paper feeding method from the Canon IJ XPS Preview.

Sets the display method of Media Type, Page Size, and Printer Paper Size.
To display the items separately, select the check box.
To display the items as a group, clear the check box.

Do not allow application software to compress print data

Compression of the application software print data is prohibited.
If the print result has missing image data or unintended colors, selecting this check box may improve the condition.

Important

• Uncheck this check box under normal circumstances.

Note

• Do not allow application software to compress print data tab cannot be used with the XPS printer driver.

Print after creating print data by page

The print data is created in page units, and printing starts after the processing of one page of print data is complete.
If a printed document contains unintended results such as streaks, selecting this check box may improve the results.

Important

• Uncheck this check box under normal circumstances.

**Scale images using nearest-neighbor interpolation

When an image is to be enlarged or reduced when printed, the printer uses a simple interpolation process to enlarge or reduce the image.
If the image data in a printed document is not printed clearly, selecting this check box may improve the results.

Important

• Uncheck this check box under normal circumstances.

Note**

• Scale images using nearest-neighbor interpolation available only with the XPS printer driver.

Prevention of Print Data Loss

You can reduce the size of the print data that was created with the application software and then print the data.
Depending on the application software being used, the image data may be cut off or may not be printed properly. In such cases, select On. If you will not be using this function, select Off.

Important

• When using this function, the print quality may drop depending on the print data.

Unit of Print Data Processing

Selects the processing unit of the print data to be sent to the printer.
Select Recommended under normal circumstances.

Important
