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.
