Selecting Printer Software Settings

Once you click Properties, you see your printer software Properties dialog box.

The most important thing to remember is to set the correct Media Type for the paper you’re using. The Media Type setting affects the other options you can choose. If necessary, click the Main tab to display the settings shown below:

Select the type of paper you loaded

Select the Ink color

Select Automatic mode

Select faster or higher-quality printing, or in-between

Click OK

Make the following settings on the Properties dialog box:

■Choose the Media Type you’re printing on (click the arrow button to display the list). If you’re not sure which setting to select, see page 20.

■Set the Ink option to Color to print a color document. To print a black text document, click

Black.

■Set the Mode option to Automatic. This lets the

printer software determine the best settings for your print job. It’s the easiest way to get good printing results on all types of paper.

■Set the slider in the Mode box to Quality or Speed. This lets you choose between a higher resolution or faster printing (or an in-between setting) for the paper you’re using. (The slider is not available when certain media types are selected.)

■When you’ve selected your settings, click OK to return to your application’s Print dialog box.
