Explanations
Select the size of the paper you want to use. If you do
not see your paper size, use the scroll bar to scroll
through the list. If your paper size is not included in the
list, click Custom or User Defined Size and enter the
paper size in the dialog box that appears.
Select Portrait or Landscape.
Select the paper source you want to use.
Select the printing resolution you want. The higher the
resolution you select, the more detailed your printout will
be; however, increasing the resolution slows printing. If
you are using Windows 3.1, this option is only available
from the Control Panel.
You can leave this option set to Fine, which is the default
setting, or select another dithering pattern depending on
the kind of printout you want.
Move the slider to make your printout lighter or darker.
The printer will print in color when there is a checkmark
in this check box. If you want to print in monochrome or
gray scale, remove the checkmark.
Select a print quality option from the Print quality list.
If you turn on Hi-speed, you will enter bi-directional
printing mode and printing speed will increase. Turning
Hi-speed off will return the printer to uni-directional
printing mode. Printing speed will decrease, but printing
precision will improve. Printing with the default settings
uses the settings stored in the printer.
Check the Paper Size, Orientation, and Paper Source
settings you made on the Page Setup menu and change
them if necessary. Select the setting and then choose
an option from the Change Setting list box.
