 Preface
Welcome to the high-speed PC printing field presented by RISO printers through RISO Printer Driv-
ers.
RISO printers, which are designed to operate as high-speed GDI printers, enable you to print various
documents you create on different computer platforms very quickly, but only if an appropriate RISO
Printer Driver is installed on the computer.

The GDI printer uses the bit-mapped image data developed on your PC monitor screen as a print
data source, enabling you to print the same image as what you see on your PC monitor screen in
most cases. Additionally, it requires no printer font to print document, thus relieving you of the restric-
tions on the use of fonts when you create documents on your PC.

in your document data. The print result of the selected style of photo images
is seen on the left side of the screen.

Grain-touch:
Various tones of photo images are reproduced by changing the number of
dots in an area according to original density. The printed-out photo images
will have a grain-touch appearance.
Screen-covered:
Various tones of photo images are reproduced by changing the size of dots
according to original density. The printed-out photo images will be covered
with a dot screen.
Though the wide range of tone levels in original photo images can be kept in
this style, their fineness will be lowered.
When you select [Screen-covered], you can set the screen-covered param-
eter.

Standard
Clicking [Details] enables settings to be made for brightness and contrast.
Clicking [Details] opens the [Photo adjustment] dialog box.
Portrait
Use this setting for pictures of one or two individuals from the bust up. This
type of image processing is particularly good for printing photos of faces.
Group
This setting is for group photos that are over-exposed. This process is ef-
fective for restoring facial features that have become washed out by a flash.
When either [Portrait] or [Group] is selected, the “Photo adjustment” settings
made for [Standard] are returned to their defaults.

Photo adjustment

Brightness : The brightness of photo images can be adjusted

by 7 levels.
Contrast : The contrast of the overall image can be adjusted
by 7 levels.
Backlight correction : When a check mark is placed in the check box, back
light correction is applied to the image to make it
sharper.

Tone smoothing : This setting is available when [Screen-covered] is
selected for [Photo]. When a check mark is placed
in the check box, the tonal expressions used in
screen-covered processing are smooth.

3 Line art style Specifies the expression method of the line (text).

Grain-touch : This mode displays colors in a gradation. Bright colors

are printed in light tones and dark colors are printed in
deep tones.
Screen-covered : The text sections are displayed with halftone dots. This
mode is unsuitable for small sized text.
Solid-look : This mode makes all text solid. You can use this mode
to express the text clearly. The difference of each text
color cannot be expressed.

4 Text style You can adjust the thickness of text in this mode.

Bold : makes the text thicker when printed out (to prevent patchiness).
Slim : makes the text slimmer when printed out (to prevent crushed lines).
OFF : doesn’t adjust the text volume.

Print image: According to the settings for [Photo type], [Line art style] and [Text style], document
data and print images will be displayed.
The actual document data and prints are different from the displayed images.

complete them without interruption or interrupt them after a specified process
step. By interrupting your print jobs, you can check print position and quality
with test prints before continuing the print process or changing the print job
flow according to your print requirements. The available process flows are
as follows.

ON:
To complete print jobs without operator involvement on your RISO printer. No
pause is made between master-making and printing processes until the end
of print jobs.
Pause before “Master-making”:
To interrupt print jobs before each master-making process, thus allowing you
to handle a stack of printed copies, especially useful for duplex printing. You
can view the page image on the LCD of the printer to check what you are
about to print.
Pause before “Print”:
To interrupt print jobs before each printing process, thus allowing you to
check a sample print.

To interrupt print jobs before each process step, i.e. both master-making and
printing processes.
