Other Options Tab

You can select output options for your document. See “Printing a Document” on page 4 for more information about accessing the printer properties.

Click the Other Options tab to access the following feature:

Watermark

You can create a background text image to be printed on each page of your document. For details, see “Using Watermarks” on page 13.

Overlay

Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. For details, see “Using Overlays” on page 14.

Output Options

Print Subset: You can set the sequence in which the pages print. Select the print order from the drop-down list.

- Normal (1,2,3): Your printer prints all pages from the first page to the last page.

-Reverse All Pages (3,2,1): Your printer prints all pages from the last page to the first page.

-Print Odd Pages: Your printer prints only the odd numbered pages of the document.

-Print Even Pages: Your printer prints only the even numbered pages of the document.

Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the

printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.

This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.

Save as Form for Overlay: Select Save as Form for Overlay to save the document as a form file (C:\FORMOVER\*.FOM). Once

this option is selected, the printer driver requires the file name and the destination path each time you print. If you want to preset the file name and specify the path, click on the button in 8

the Output to area, and type the file name and specify the path.

This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.
