Advanced printing tasks

This section will help you take full advantage of the printer’s features.

Using features in the printer driver

Note

When you print from a software application, many of the printer’s features are available from the printer driver. To access Windows printer drivers, see “Access the Windows printer driver” on page 36.

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

Settings in the printer driver and software application generally override control panel settings. (Software application settings generally override printer driver settings.)

Printer collation

The Printer Collation feature, only available with a minimum of 32 MB of RAM or a hard disk accessory, allows multiple original prints (mopying) that provides you the following advantages:

reduces network traffic

faster return to application

all documents are original

Note

See the application or printer driver online help for specific steps.

RIP ONCE

RIP ONCE allows the print job to be processed one time at the printer. The RIP ONCE capability creates an image of the page then saves a compressed image of the page into memory. RIP ONCE is enabled when a minimum of 32 MB of RAM or a hard disk accessory is installed in the printer. 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.
