Printing in grayscale

If you have a document that you created in color, it will automatically print in color. Or, you can set the printer to print a color document in grayscale (black and white) only.

Windows: Select the Print In Grayscale option on the Color tab of the printer driver.

Mac OS: In the Print dialog box, select the Color Options tab, and then select the Print Color as Gray checkbox.

 

Creating and using watermarks

 

Use the watermark options to specify that text be placed "underneath" (in the background of)

 

an existing document. For example, you might want to have large gray letters reading "draft"

 

or "confidential" placed diagonally across the first page or all pages of a document. You can

 

change color, position, and wording of the watermark.

 

If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, you must have Administrator privileges to create

Note

 

watermarks. You do not need Administrator privileges to add existing watermarks to

 

documents.

 

Windows: Gain access to the Watermarks options on the Effects tab in your printer

 

driver.

 

Mac OS: Gain access to the Watermark options on the watermark/overlay pull-down

 

menu in the Print dialog box. (Note that OS X might not support watermarks.)

Printing multiple pages on one sheet of paper (N-up printing)

N-up printing is the ability to print multiple pages on one sheet of paper. The pages will appear decreased in size. You can specify up to nine pages per sheet, and they will be arranged on the sheet as shown in the following figures if you use the default arrangement. You can also choose whether a border appears around each page or not.

Windows: Gain access to Pages per Sheet on the Finishing tab in the printer driver.

Mac OS: Gain access to Pages per sheet by selecting the Layout pop-up menu in the Print dialog box.

Creating and using Quick Sets

Use Quick Sets to save the current print-driver settings such as the page orientation, N-up printing, or the paper source for later use. You can save up to a total of 30 Quick Sets. For convenience, Quick Sets can be selected and saved from most printer-driver tabs.
