RINTER SETTINGS IN
Your printer's operator panel menus provide access to many
options. The Windows printer driver also contains settings for
many of these items. Where items in the printer driver are the
same as those in the operator panel menus, and you print
documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer
driver will override those items in the operator panel menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Windows 2000
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the
same.

If you print mainly from general "Office" applications choose one
of the PCL drivers. For faster printing of PDF documents, choose
PostScript. If you print mainly from professional DTP and graphics
applications, choose PostScript.

RINTING PREFERENCES IN
When you choose to print your
document from a Windows
application program a print
dialogue box appears. This
dialogue usually specifies the
name of the printer on which you
will print your document. Next to
the printer name is a Properties
button.
When you click Properties a new
window opens which contains a short list of the printer settings
available in the driver, which you can choose for this document.
The window which opens when you click Properties depends on
which printer driver has been installed. The PostScript driver
offers different choices to the PCL driver.
