Printer drivers The printer drivers included on the Driver, MarkVision, and Utilities CD shipped with your new printer were spe- cially designed for this printer. Using these printer drivers gives you the greatest control over the features and func- tions of your printer. Your printer drivers have been designed to work efficiently with your printer and pro- vide you with the best possible print quality.

To modify your printer settings this way, select File from the menu bar and Print or Printer Settings. This opens a print or printer settings window that allows you to modify some or all of the many printer settings.
Page 20 You can override these operator panel settings through the software application or printer driver. In most cases, settings you change from your software applica- tion or printer driver apply only to the job you are preparing to send to the printer.
Page 21: Changing Printer Settings
This chapter is organized according to the structure of the printer operator panel menus. You can also change many of these settings from your application, a Lexmark printer driver, or from the MarkVision printer utility. If there is a printer feature you cannot control from the applica- tion or printer driver, use the printer operator panel or the remote operator panel available from MarkVision.

This printer setting allows you to select the source which contains the default font selection. The value list only consists of font sources which exist on the printer. In other words, if no download fonts exist in the printer’s memory and no flash or disk is installed, then Resident is the only valid value for the Font Source.
Page 59 A symbol set is a set of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special symbols used when printing with a selected font. Symbol sets support the different requirements for languages or specific applications, such as math symbols for scientific text. The printer displays only the symbol sets supported for the selected font name.
Page 60 The Lines per Page setting determines the number of lines that print on each page. The setting can range from 1 to 255 lines per page. The printer sets the amount of space between each line (vertical line spacing) based on the Lines per Page, Paper Size, and Orientation settings.
Page 61 For example, if you want to use a different printer driver with your printer and have optional drawers installed, use the Tray Renumber menu item to set the tray values. You can then successfully choose the correct paper source with the different printer driver.

Page 89: Using Color
Using color Your printer gives you the power to communicate in color. Color attracts attention, commands respect, and adds value to your printed material or information. Using color increases reader- ship and is read more often than the same material printed in black and white.
Page 90: How We See Color
Processed black when printed looks like a very dirty or muddy brown. Because of this, your printer has a black print cartridge to provide you with true black for all your printing needs.
Page 91: Color Difference
The easiest way for you to get consistent color from your screen to your printer is to select standard colors. When you produce color on your screen, it is produced using a color model. A color model is a system that defines color according to a set of basic properties.
Page 92: Managing Color
Managing color Color management There are many color management systems on the market today. systems They range from simple swatchbooks to specially designed and designated color servers. Color Management Systems (CMS) help you match colors across a number of devices, including scanners, monitors, and printers.
Page 93: Popular Color Management Systems
Translation between color models Translation is the most complex element of a CMS. Because each device is based on a device-dependent color model, such as RGB or CMYK, the range of colors each device supports is dif- ferent. It is difficult and sometimes impossible to produce a par- ticular color on different devices when each device uses a different color model.
Page 94: Controlling Your Printer
Controlling your Your printer driver is designed to provide you with the best qual- printer ity output for various types of printing needs. However, you may want more control over how your printed document will look. You can control the screening methods, halftone settings, graph- ics effects, and fill resolution used during the printing of your documents.
Page 95 Use Black and White for documents that will be reproduced on a copier. Any time you prefer the printer to decide which images to enhance using the Image Enhancement screening methods. Use the 1200 dpi setting anytime you have a need for greater text, line, and image detail.
Page 96: Halftone Screens
With- out halftoning, it would not be possible to produce quality pho- tographic images on a page printer. This process of representing an image as a series of halftones, is known as halftone screen- ing.
Page 97: Screen Angle
Your printer default is set to give you the best screen frequency setting for high quality business graphics. The default angle of the halftone screen and cells places the dots so they are the least noticeable to the human eye.

Page 121 The position of the rear paper guide tells the printer the size of the paper in the tray. If the rear paper guide is in the wrong position, you may experience paper feeding problems or incorrect formatting of pages. Set the rear paper guide into the holes on the side and bottom of the paper tray.
