3 Choosing a print mode

This step describes the print modes that are available for selection based on the content of the file that you created with the software application. Choose a print mode that is best suited for the print job.

You can create your own print modes by performing the settings you need for special print jobs and saving the settings to a print mode file. For details about creating your own print modes, refer to the printer driver on-line Help.

4 Selecting a media type

As explained earlier, when you select a print mode icon, the paper size, best media for the print job, and many other settings are selected automatically for the print job. However, you do not have to use all the settings selected for you automatically by the print mode selection. For example, after you select SuperPhoto, Photo Paper Pro is selected automatically but you can easily select another Media Type (Plain Paper for example). Here we will show you how to change the Media Type setting appropriate for the type of media loaded in the printer.

1. On the Main tab, for the Media Type, click the down-arrow and select the media that you want to use. To enable the setting, click the OK button to close the Printer Properties dialog box.
