OPERATING PRINTER

General Tab

General tab lets you select:

Orientation – Portrait (default), Landscape,
Rotate 180° and Mirrored.

Job Management – Buffer loads entire print job
before printing starts.
Mask Optimization (checked is default)
optimizes images for printing in most
applications.
NOTE: Some applications (like FlexMail) may
display image boundaries when printed;
unchecking Mask Optimization box eliminates
these lines. (Remember to check box when
changing applications.)
Printer Capture – When selected, the Printer
stores the print job in the Printer Job Library
after the job is printed.
PC Capture – When selected, saves a Print File
(*.prn) on the PC (C:\Windows\Temp) for later
use. (Unchecked is default.)
NOTE: Use the box below the selection to name
the file, otherwise the Printer assigns the current
date and a numerical name.

Copies – Enter the number of copies to be printed. NOTE: Default setting (Reverse Order unchecked)
prints job starting with first page. Printing starts as soon as first page loads.
Reverse Order allows job to start printing from last page. Since entire job has to load into Printer before
printing starts, large jobs may take longer to load.
Collate: When printing multiple copies of multi-page documents, checking the box allows all pages of the
document to be printed in proper order before printing the next copy.

Media – Choose a type of media or different
size media than document was originally
designed for.
Type: Chart at right lists media profiles
associated with type of media chosen.
Sizes: 21 sizes are available. Document is
automatically resized to fit new media.

Custom Size lets you create and save a
Custom Size to suit your needs. NOTE: Do
not exceed maximum paper size for Printer.

Color Selection – Set Printing for Color,
Composite Black (uses all colors to print
Black), or Black Only (uses only Black ink).

Print Quality – Select Normal or Best.
Normal is 1600 x 800 dpi. Best setting is
1600 x 1600 dpi, for use when high quality
images are required. "Speed" allows you to adjust the Printer speed for the media being used (i.e., slow the
printing speed for higher quality on glossy stock).

My Print Settings – Access your saved custom print settings for various jobs.
