Your Phaser 860 Color Printer comes with many useful features to help you create the best

possible printed documents. You can access the printer features in the printer driver,

which you use when you send a print job to the printer. To ensure that you have access to

all of the printer features, make sure you have installed the printer driver that comes on

your Phaser 860 Printer CD-ROM. Updated printer drivers are also available on the Xerox

web site:
