Selecting the Printing Mode
You can select either of the two printing modes, GDI mode or PCL mode,
according to your requirements. If you cannot determine which printing mode
is best suited for your printing applications under Windows, we recommend
you always use GDI mode first.
GDI mode has the following features:
~ GDI mode prints what you see on your screen.
~ Faster printing as much as four to five times faster for some files.
~ Manual Duplexing
~ Reverse (Last page on top)
Cl Overlay
Cl Scale
~ 2up/4up
Cl Image
PCL mode is effective in the following cases:
~ when you want to print a file created with MS-DOS application.
~ when you want to print a PCL format file.
GDI mode works very well with most software packages. However, some
applications can create output that is too complex for Windows to display
accurately on the screen - a file with a sophisticated embedded graphic image
might be an example. Here GDI might work fine for draft copies but falls short
of the quality needed for final output. For these situations OfficeStyler TI O
provides a PCL mode.
Changing the printing mode
There are four methods to change the printing mode, GDI mode or PCL mode.
