OPERATION
This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your printer
from either a Windows or a Macintosh environment. In the former,
while PCL emulation is available on all printer models, PS emulation
is standard only on the B4300nPS model and is optional on the B4300
and B4300n models.
PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS
The illustrations in this guide relate to Windows 2000 PCL and PS
emulations – other operating system windows may appear slightly
different but the principles are the same.
The operator panel controlled menus and Status Monitor controlled
menus (described in the chapter entitled "Operator panels") provide
access to many options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these
items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as those in the
operator panel and Status Monitor menus, and you print documents
from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will override
those settings in the operator panel and Status Monitor menus.
PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your document from a Windows application
program a Print dialogue box appears. This dialogue 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. The settings available from within your
application are only those which you may want to change for specific
applications or documents. Settings you change here will usually only
last for as long as the particular application program is running.
