Printer Settings in Windows Your printer’s menus (accessed via the “The Status Monitor” on page 35) 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 menus, and you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the 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.
“Setup”Tab When you click the Properties button from your application’s Print dialogue, the driver window opens to allow you to specify your printing preferences for the current document. 1. Paper size should be the same as the page size of your document (unless you wish to scale the printout to fit another size), and should also be the same as the size of paper you...
Page 106
“Job Options” Tab The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows. The highest quality setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi. This option requires the most printer memory and takes the longest to print. The normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is adequate for all but the most discerning applications.
“Color” Tab Control over the colour output of your printer may be performed automatically, or for advanced control, by manual adjustment. The automatic setting will be appropriate in most cases. The other options in this window only become visible when you select a choice other than Auto. For grayscale printing, the printer runs at 20ppm and all pages are printed in black and white.
Setting From Windows Control Panel When you open the driver properties window directly from Windows, rather than from within an application program, a somewhat more extensive range of settings is provided. Changes made here will generally affect all documents you print from Windows applications, and will be remembered from one Windows session to the next.
“Advanced” Tab You can specify which times of day your printer will be available. Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). Highest priority documents will print first. Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a special print file) before being printed. The document is then printed in the background, allowing your application program to become available more quickly.
Page 110
Directs the spooler to check the document setup and match it to the printer setup before sending the document to print. If a mismatch is detected, the document is held in the print queue and does not print until the printer setup is changed and the document restarted from the print queue.
Color Printing The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several controls for changing the colour output. For general use the automatic settings will suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good results for most documents. Many applications have their own colour settings, and these may override the settings in the printer driver.
• A monitor can display very vivid colours such as intense reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colours, (some yellows for example), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor.
How your software applicatio displays colour Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe Photoshop may display colour differently from “Office” applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s on-line help or user manual for more information. Paper type The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed colour.
Printing Specific Colours(E.G. A Comopany Logo) There are 2 utilities on your printer driver CD-ROM that can help match specific colours: Colour Correct Utility and Colour Swatch Utility. Adjusting The Brightness or Intensityof a Print If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control to adjust it.
open colour matching options from within Windows application: Choose File—Print… from the application’s menu bar. Click the Properties button next to the printer name. Setting the Colours Matching Options On the Colour tab select Advanced Colour ((1) below) for Colour Matching. Choose the Manual colour setting (2) and select from the following options: Monitor (6500k) Perceptual...
Monitor (6500k) Vivid Optimised for printing photographs, but with even more saturated colours than the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting. Monitor (9300k) Optimised for printing graphics from applications such as Microsoft Office. Colours are printed with emphasis on Lightness. Digital Camera Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital damera.
Page 117
An Example of Using Colour Swatch Function You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you would follow are: 1. Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that best suits your needs. 2.
Using the Colour Correct Utility The Avision Colour Correct Utility is provided on your printer driver CDROM. You must install it separately since it is not installed along with the printer driver. The Colour Correct utility has the following features: Microsoft Office palette colours can be individually adjusted.
Page 119
To Select Adjustmnets Made With The Colour Correct Utility 1. From your application program, click File and point to Print. 2. Click Properties. This displays the printer driver options. 3. Click the Colour tab. 4. Click Advanced Colour. 5. Click User Defined. Select the colour adjustment you made with the Colour Correct Utility.
