Orientation
Print orientation may be Portrait or Landscape. Portrait orientation means the page is taller than it
is wide when you view the printed text upright. Landscape orientation means the page is wider than
it is tall when you view the printed text upright.
Copies
The Copies selection tells Windows how many copies you want to print from a software application.
This setting is independent of the "copies selection" that may be available within
the print menus of your software application.
Do not use the two selections simultaneously!
Collate
In multiple page jobs that are uncollated, several copies of Page 1 are printed followed by several
copies of Page 2, followed by several copies of Page 3, etc. For example, for 2 copies of a 3 page
document, the MFC prints Page 1, Page 1, Page 2, Page 2, Page 3, and Page 3 in order.
In multiple page jobs that are collated, a complete set of pages in a job are printed followed by
another complete set of pages. For example, printing 2 copies of a 3 page document, the MFC prints
Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, then Page 1, Page 2, and Page 3 in order. In this case, the MFC starts printing
after processing all the print data so that it takes a longer time for collated printing than uncollated
printing.
Reverse Order
The MFC normally prints Page 1 and ejects it face-up so that the following pages are stacked on top
of previous pages. (Page 5, Page 4, Page 3 ..... Page 1) When you want to get correct-ordered
printouts, use this function. The MFC spools the job in your computer and sends the data starting
from the last page to the printer. Since the MFC prints from the last page forward, the printouts are
stacked Page 1, 2, 3, ...Page 5. Please note that this function takes more time.
Paper Thickness
To insure that the paper moves through the MFC without slipping (thin paper) or jamming (thick
paper), be sure to select the appropriate paper thickness setting.
Regular — Select for ordinary plain paper.
Thin
— Select when the paper is thinner than plain paper (for example organizer)
Thick
— Select for thick paper. (for example 321b, Postcard)
Thicker — Select for thicker paper. (for example envelopes )
Scaling
Use this function to reduce or enlarge your document, from 50% to 200%.
2 in 1
Two pages are printed on one sheet at a reduced size. If you checked the "2 in 1 box", you cannot
specify the scaling percentage manually.
If your application software contains a similar function to this, both settings will be
effective. Do not use the two selections simultaneously !
