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
Click OK
Make the following settings on the Properties dialog box:
■Choose the paper you’re printing on (click the arrow button to scroll through the Media Type list). If you’re not sure which setting to select, see page 26.
■Set the Ink option to Color, unless you’re printing in black only.
■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. (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.
Most Windows applications feature paper size and page layout settings that override similar settings in the printer driver. However, if your application does not have these settings, verify the settings on the printer driver’s Paper and Layout tabs. For more information, see your electronic Reference Guide.
