Performing advanced printing tasks

 

Using features in the printer driver

 

When you print from a software program, many of the MFP features are available from

 

the printer driver. See “Printer drivers” on page 58.

 

 

Note

Certain product features might not be available with all drivers. Check the drivers for

 

available options.

 

Settings in the printer driver and software program generally override control panel

 

settings. Software program settings generally override printer driver settings.

 

See the software program or printer driver Help for specific steps.

 

 

 

Printer collation

 

The printer collation feature allows you to print multiple originals. This offers the following

 

advantages:

 

● reduced network traffic

 

● faster return to program

 

● all documents are originals

 

RIP ONCE

 

RIP ONCE allows a print job to be processed one time at the printer. The RIP ONCE

 

capability creates an image of the page and then saves a compressed image of the page

 

into memory. Pages are printed by decompressing page images without pausing to

 

process the print job again. The print job will print exactly the same every time because

 

the compressed image is not dependent on any other printer data.

 

Saving printer setup information (Quick Sets)

 

The Windows PCL 6 and PCL 5e printer drivers allow you to save specific printer

 

settings as defaults for various types of standard print jobs. For example, you might want

 

to create a Quick Set for printing envelopes, or for printing the first page of a document

 

on letterhead.

 

Scaling page image (ZoomSmart)

 

The Windows PCL 6 and PCL 5e printer drivers include a feature called ZoomSmart that

 

allows you to scale the page image from any page size to any other page size. You can

 

do this either by a numeric percentage or by specifying a different size scale.

 

Printing booklets

 

The Windows PCL 6 and PCL 5e printer drivers allow you to control booklet printing

 

when duplexing. You have the choice of binding on the left or right side on letter, legal, or

 

A4 paper.
