Page 122: Configure
Windows Printing 6.3.14 Configure The installable options determine which optional accessories are available on your copier (e.g. Paper Source Unit or Stapler). The installable options tailor the user interface of the printer driver on your PC and prevent the accidental selection of features which are not supported by the copier. To make the accessories available in the printer driver you must enable the corresponding installable options.
Page 123 Windows Printing corresponding to those options will be available in the printer driver. Normalize PostScript may be enabled if you need to use certain Plug-in features, e.g. tray selection per page, with applications like Adobe PageMaker which have their own PostScript driver based only on a PPD. Note Normalize PostScript should be used with caution as it may change the output of objects like outline fonts or embedded EPS files.
