figures is applied.

•

Settings

Description

[Excel Job Control]

Select this check box to print multiple Microsoft Excel sheets with different

page settings at one time.

When multiple sheets with different page settings are printed at one time, the

sheets may be separated into single-sheet jobs depending on the data con-

tained. This function avoids job separation as much as possible.

[Remove White Back-

ground] (PCL/XPS)

White areas are removed so that the white background of the PowerPoint data

does not hide the overlay image. Clear this check box to print the original as is

without removing the background.

Select this check box to perform reduced-size printing. This function prevents

thin lines from disappearing.

This is effective for thin lines such as table borders created in Excel, but not for

thin lines used in illustrations.
