Compaq A1500 warranty Paper, Document/Quality, Advanced, Status

Booklet

The Booklet option allows you to print a document out as a booklet. If the Print Instruction Page is checked, a page will print directing you how to insert the paper so that the booklet prints correctly.

Poster

Choose the Poster option from the Job Finishing Operations drop down list to enlarge the printed document. If you check Show Crop Marks, the image will print with crop marks. The white space around the image can be easily trimmed.

Handout

Choose the Handout option from the Job Finishing Operations drop down list to print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper. If you want to print the document on both sides of the paper, you can change the binding edge to change how the image is printed.

Two-Sided Printing

Choose the Two-Sided Printing option from the Job Finishing Operations drop down box to print the document on both sides of the paper. If you check the Print Instruction Page box, a sheet will print describing how to insert the paper. Selecting the Binding Edge will print the image in either Portrait or Landscape mode.

Paper

Use the paper tab to select what size of paper you have in your printer, the orientation, the number of copies to print, etc.

You can also reverse the printing order of your document pages. The first page of your document will be on top of the stack in the paper exit tray. If you choose to collate your document, multiple copies of a multi-page document will be printed such that the documents are grouped together, rather than the pages.

Document/Quality

The Document/Quality tab controls the paper type, such as plan, coated, and glossy. It also controls the quality (resolution) of the printing. Higher resolutions print better, but take longer and consume more ink.

Advanced

The advanced tab allows you to change how the printer handles color printing. You should rarely need to change these settings, if at all.
