Right-click on your printing system icon.
Click Printing Preferences.
The Basic tab contains several settings for the most commonly used printing
tasks.
Print size
This setting sets the size of the area that the printer prints to, regardless of
the actual paper size that is used by the printing system.
Source
This setting specifies the cassette or tray that the printing system draws
paper from. Unless you are using a custom paper type, you can leave it set
to Auto source selection.
Media type
This setting selects the Source based on the types of media that are
specified in the printing system. In general, you can leave it set to Auto
media selection.
Destination
This setting specifies which output tray is used for the print job output.
Orientation
This setting specifies the paper orientation of the print job. If Rotated is
selected, the print job orientation is rotated 180 degrees.
Copies
This setting specifies the number of copies to print. For collating multiple
copies, select Collate.
Print on both sides
This setting enables duplex printing.
EcoPrint
This setting makes the entire image, text and graphics, appear lighter in the
printed job. EcoPrint does not increase print speed.
Note: Some applications may override print settings made in the driver.
Usually the application can be set to follow the settings. In Microsoft Word
2007, ensure that Default tray in Options is set to Use printer settings.
In the Basic tab, Source specifies which tray or cassette the printer uses for a
printing job. The default is Auto source selection, which instructs the printer to
search for the media requested by the application or the printer driver. If the
selected tray or cassette empties during a print job, then the printer searches for
another source, and continues the job.
Media type instructs the printer to search for the type of paper or media that is
requested by the application or the printer driver. The choices shown may
change depending on the selection in Source. If Auto media selection is
selected, then the printer searches for another tray or cassette using the same
media.
