The Printing Preferences dialog box has three sections:
Tab Options
Print Setup Quality/Speed — Select Automatic, Draft, Normal, or Photo depending on your desired output quality.
Draft is the fastest option but should not be selected if you have a photo cartridge installed.
Media Type — Allows you to set the paper type manually, or have the printer detect the paper type
automatically.
Paper Size — Select the size of your paper.
Print in black and white — Print your color images in black and white to save the ink in your color
cartridge.
NOTE: You cannot select this setting if you have selected Use Color Cartridge for all Black Printing.
Borderless — Select the check box if you want to print borderless photos.
Orientation — Select how the document is arranged on the printed page. You can print using portrait or
landscape orientation.
Envelope — Select the check box if you want to print an envelope. The Paper Size area lists the envelope
sizes available for printing.
Copies — Customize how the printer prints several copies of a single print job: Collated, Normal, or
Print Last Page First.
Advanced 2-sided printing — Select this to print on both sides of the paper. Select from Automatic, Manual, or
Print Duplex.
Extend dry time — Select this option if you notice ink is smeared on the bottom of the pages of your
duplex print jobs. This allows the ink on the paper to dry before the duplex unit feeds it back into the
printer, and prints on the other side.
NOTE: You will need to wait a few seconds longer for your duplex jobs to finish if you turn this feature
on.
Layout — Select Normal, Banner, Mirror, N-up, Poster, Booklet, or Borderless.
Automatic Image Sharpening — Automatically select the best image-sharpening level based on image
content.
Dell Customer Experience Improvement Program — Allows you to access information about, and change
your status in, the Dell Customer Experience Improvement Program.
More Options — Allows you to specify Appearance Mode and Complete-A-Print settings. You can also
view the paper type that the printer detects.
