Printer Settings

SuperScript 4400 printer settings give you many ways to customize your print job. There is often more than one
place to change the same printer setting. These include
• The SuperScript PostScript 3 and PCL 5e printer drivers
• The operator panel on your printer

Using the Printer Operator Panel

You can use the printer Operator Panel to cancel a print job or change settings that are not available in your printer
driver. You can view messages on the Operator Panel to help diagnose printing problems. In addition, the printer
operator panel allows you to print out font lists and test pages and view the total page count. You can also set the
printer's TCP/IP address or reconfigure network settings. Chapter 4xx provides instructions for using the printer
operator panel.

Using Printer Drivers

Your printer software includes the PostScript 3 printer drivers for Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, Windows NT
4.0/5.0, and MacOS and the PCL 5e printer driver for Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT 4.0/5.0.
They offer a wide range of features for setting up your print job and printer settings.
Most of these features and settings are described in this chapter. A particular feature may be implemented slightly
differently, depending on which driver you are using.
note:
If you are unsure about a setting in your printer driver, be sure to use the driver's Online Help feature.
Chapter xxx provides complete information about using your printer driver software.
When to Use the PostScript 3 or PCL 5e Printer Driver
Use the PostScript 3 driver for color documents and documents that contain many complex graphic images or
extensive page layout formatting. The PostScript driver has more options and delivers better graphic processing.
Use the PCL 5e driver for monochrome documents that contain mostly text and limited formatting. The PCL5e
driver processes this type of document quickly.
note:
For color printing, you must use the PostScript 3 printer driver for your system. The PCL 5e printer driver
is for monochrome printing only.
