The printer driver includes an Auto (Automatic) setting for Document Type. When Auto is selected, the driver automatically chooses the best print settings for your document by analyzing the different types of data to be printed. It adjusts the Ink, Color Matching, and Halftoning settings for each object on the page to produce the best printed results. It is a good idea to try printing your document with the Document Type set to Auto before changing any other settings in the driver.

You should always check the following settings before printing to make sure the driver selections are appropriate for the media you are using:

❑Document Type–the type of image to be printed: business graphics, photographs, text, etc.

❑Printing Mode–resolution: 720 dpi, 360 dpi, or Economy-180 dpi

❑Ink–whether you are printing in color or monochrome

❑Media Type–the type of paper or other media you are using

❑Paper Size–the size of paper you have loaded.

The best way to learn about your printer driver is to use the driver’s extensive online help. It explains all the options available for each setting and also describes how to use the printer driver. See “Using Online Help” on page 2-15.

For general information on changing settings, see page 2-14.

The following tables summarize the settings available in each menu tab (with default values in bold type). Because the driver software is updated periodically, some of your options may be slightly different than the ones shown here.
