Introduction This chapter provides information on: • Using printer drivers to control the printer’s output. • The features of the printer’s Control Panel, and using it to generate printer reports such as the Configuration Sheet. • Offsetting and duplicating. • Printing using custom paper size and special media such as heavier stock and labels.
Page 50: Using The Printer Drivers
Using the Printer Drivers Using the Printer Drivers User Guide Your printer offers many special features that are designed to produce the highest quality black and white prints while giving you the flexibility you need to print a variety of documents. These features are accessed through the printer drivers.
Page 51: Installing The Printer Drivers
System Administrator can download drivers directly to your workstation. Configuring the When you initially use any of your printer drivers, make sure to properly configure them for the printer and its Printer Drivers installed options (such as the hard drive, High Capacity Feeder, etc.).
Page 52: Using The Driver's Features
Using the Printer Drivers Using the Driver’s Features User Guide At a minimum, your printer’s drivers enable you to control the following aspects of printing: • Select an input tray from which to draw paper or other print media. • Select an output bin to which the print job will be delivered.
Page 53: Using The Pcl Driver
Using the PCL Driver Using the PCL Driver Your printer’s PCL 5e and PCL 6 drivers are controlled by a dialog window that contains various tabs. Selecting a tab changes the dialog window to display controls related to the selected tab. The following is a general overview of the driver’s features, organized by its dialog window tabs.
Page 54: Paper/Output
To use this feature, enter a 4-digit numeric password, where each digit can be any numeric value between 0 and 7. Releasing the job at the printer is discussed in the section “Printing a Password Job” (page 3-55).

You can also choose to delete the job without printing the remaining sets, as described in the section “Deleting a...
Page 56: Image Orientation
Using the PCL Driver 3-10 User Guide Select Paper You can select paper size, media type and input source for All Pages, for the First Page (if different than the rest of the job), and for Separators (if desired). Selecting Proof Print causes one set to print immediately without the password.
Page 57 Document Collation Allows job collation (for multiple-copy jobs only). The options are: • Uncollated (the default setting) For example, five uncollated copies of a three-page job will result in five copies of page 1, then five copies of page 2, and finally five copies of page 3; that is: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3.
Page 58: Document Options
There are two finishing modes: • Multiple Pages per Side (N-Up printing) By default, the printer will print one page image on the sheet of paper. You can select two, four, six, nine or sixteen page images per side of paper. The printer will...
Page 59 Using the PCL Driver • Booklet Printing The driver will print the document as two images per sheet, landscape orientation. However, it rearranges the page images so the sheet of paper can be folded to be read as a left-to-right book. The standard booklet format has the first page as the left-most page.
Page 60 The application may increase the margins to greater than this minimum. • No If you choose this option (the default setting), the printer will print all the way to the edge of the paper.
Page 61: Graphics Options
Graphics Options When you select this tab, you can set the various graphics options for the driver. Gray Scale Gray Scale (also known as Half Tone) refers to a type of pattern that is applied to printed images. By using combinations of black dots, these patterns produce a gray appearance on the printed page.
Page 62 • Download as TrueType (the default) The whole character set for each TrueType font contained on the page is sent down to the printer in an outline form. Use this option if the document uses only a small number of TrueType fonts and you wish to optimize text-printing performance.
Page 63 This option is useful if you want to print graphic images over TrueType text. TrueType text is always sent to the printer last, so it will always appear on top of any graphics. Selecting this option sends your TrueType images to the printer as graphic images, so the text can be obscured by graphic objects.
Page 64 3-18 User Guide Graphics Your printer will print graphics as either raster images or as vector graphic images. All graphics can be printed as raster images. However some geometric shapes or patterns, and all TrueType fonts, print faster if they are printed as vector images.
Page 65: Watermarks
Image Quality The following options are available at 600 dpi resolution only and not simultaneously: • Draft Mode Reduces the amount of toner placed onto the paper. Using this feature will cause pages to be printed lighter. • XIE A smoothing algorithm applied to text and line art images in order to improve image quality.
Page 66: Overlays
• An overlay is usually on the margins of a page or a form, while a watermark is usually in the middle of a page. • An overlay may use space on the printer's hard disk, but a watermark does not.

Brightness This slider control increases or decreases the brightness level of the image. The default setting is zero. Reduce/Enlarge This slider control makes the page image smaller or larger by adjusting the percentage from 25% to 400%.
Page 75 This option flips the image orientation 180 degrees, thereby reversing the image and all associated text. • Xerox Image Enhancement (XIE) XIE smooths text and line art images in order to improve image quality.

Your Control Panel may look different. The printer’s Control Panel (Figure 3.1) serves several purposes: • It displays information about the status of the printer (or the job in process). • It provides the means for changing printer settings to control how the printer operates.
Page 82: The Display
• It informs you of printer status conditions, such as when toner is low, when a paper tray is empty, when a job is in process, and so on. For example, when you turn on the printer and it warms up, the display will show: Ready This message appears whenever the printer is online and ready to accept print jobs.

Drum shutter Replacing the Laser Print Cartridge When the laser print cartridge runs low on toner, the printer’s Control Panel display will prompt you to replace the cartridge. This is a simple procedure, described on the following pages. • Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or artificial light for more than 15 minutes.
Page 114 Replacing the Laser Print Cartridge User Guide To replace the laser print cartridge, follow these steps: Open the top cover. Lift out the used cartridge. Wrap the used cartridge in its original packing and return it as per directions in the packaging. Remove a new cartridge from its packing and shake the cartridge seven to eight times, as shown, to free the toner.
Page 115 If pulled at an angle, the tape may break. After pulling out the tape, do not shake the cartridge or subject it to shocks. Holding the cartridge as shown, lower it into the printer, inserting the cartridge’s two projecting parts into the printer’s guide channels.
