OPERATING THE ASTROJET M1

Printer Driver Properties

The Printer Driver for the AstroJet M1 works the same as any other Printer Driver for Windows. It does
have some enhancements to help you maximize the ability of the Printer to print variable addressed pieces
quickly and efficiently.
Windows 2000, XP, Vista: Once the job is set
up, click File, then Print. The window on the right
will open. Make sure the M Series Driver is the
selected Printer. Clicking on Properties opens the
"Properties" window.
Windows 7: Once the job is set up, click Office
Button, then Print. Make sure the M Series Driver
is the selected Printer. The window on the right
will open. Clicking on Properties opens the
"Properties" window.

General Tab

The General tab lets you select:
 Orientation – Portrait (Default), Landscape,
Rotate 180° and Mirrored.
 Page Buffering – Allows the entire print job to
load before printing starts.
 Copies – Lets you choose the number of copies
to be printed.
NOTE – Print Last Page First is set as
the default. This means the job starts
printing from the last page. The entire
job will load into the Printer before
printing starts. Large jobs may take
some time to load.
Unchecking the box prints the job
starting with the first page. Printing
starts as soon as first page loads.
 Media – Allows you to choose a different size paper than the document was originally designed
for. The document is automatically resized to fit the new media. 21 sizes are available. You can
also create and save a Custom Size to suit your needs. Note – Do not exceed maximum paper
size for the printer.
 Print Quality – Select Normal or Best. Normal is 1600 x 800 dpi, checking the Half Speed box
slows printing for higher quality on glossy stock. Best setting is 1600 x 1600 dpi, use when high
quality images are required.
 My Print Settings – Access your custom print settings for various jobs that you uploaded through
the "Media Profile Upload" in the Toolbox.
