  • Page 23 To prevent paper jams: • Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper. • Do not overfill the Cassette Tray. Capacity depends on the type of paper stock. • Do not load damaged paper. • Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the same time.
  • Page 24 For face down printing, make sure the Face Up (rear) Stacker is closed (the paper exits from the top of the printer).

    The illustrations in this chapter show the C3400n printer in Windows XP/2000. However, the options shown for the C3400n are the same when using the C3300 model. Other Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same.

  • Page 27: Printing Preferences In Windows Applications

    RINTING PREFERENCES IN INDOWS APPLICATIONS When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a Print dialog box appears. This dialog 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.

  • Page 28: Setup Tab

    ETUP TAB When you click the Properties button from your application’s Print dialog, the driver window opens to allow you to specify your printing preferences for the current document. Paper size should be the same as the page size of your document (unless you wish to scale the printout to fit another size), and should also be the same as the size of paper you will feed into the printer.
  • Page 29 A variety of document finishing options can be selected, such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can be a maximum of 16) for printing scaled down pages at more than one page per sheet. Select the Poster printing option to print large pages as tiles spread over multiple sheets.

  • Page 30: Job Options Tab

    PTIONS TAB The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows. • The ProQ2400 setting prints at 600 x 600dpi multi- level. This setting requires the most printer memory and takes the longest to print. It is the best option for printing photographs and reproducing colour details.

  • Page 31: Colour Tab

    Page orientation can be set to either portrait (tall) or landscape (wide). Your printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery. You can print watermark text behind the main page image. This is useful for marking documents as draft, confidential, etc.
  • Page 32 other than Auto. For grayscale printing, the printer runs at the fastest print speed (approx. 20ppm) and all pages are printed in black and white. You can choose from a range of colour matching options, depending on the image source for your document. For example, a photograph taken on a digital camera might require different colour matching from a business graphic created in a spreadsheet application.

  • Page 33: Setting From Windows Control Panel

    ETTING FROM INDOWS ONTROL ANEL When you open the driver properties window directly from Windows, rather than from within an application program, a somewhat more extensive range of settings is provided. Changes made here will generally affect all documents you print from Windows applications, and will be remembered from one Windows session to the next.

  • Page 34: Advanced Tab

    DVANCED TAB You can specify which times of day your printer will be available. Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). Highest priority documents will print first. Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a special print file) before being printed. The document is then printed in the background, allowing your application program to become available more quickly.
  • Page 35 This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing starts as soon as possible after the document begins spooling. This specifies that the document should not be spooled, but printed directly. Your application will not normally be ready for further use until the print job is complete. This requires less disk space on your computer, since there is no spool file.
