Using printer driver features

 

When you print from a program, many printer features are available in the printer driver. To gain

 

access to Windows printer drivers, see “Gain access to the Windows printer driver” on page 31.

 

 

Note

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

 

options.

 

Settings in a program or the printer driver override control panel settings. (Program settings

 

generally override printer driver settings.)

 

 

 

Collating (mopying)

 

The Printer Collation feature allows multiple original prints (mopying) and provides you the

 

following advantages:

 

reduced network traffic

 

faster return to program

 

￿all documents are original

 

The default driver setting for the collating feature is on (Mopier Enabled). See the program or

 

printer driver online Help for specific steps to turn off collating.

 

RIP ONCE

 

RIP ONCE allows the print job to be processed one time at the printer. If your printer driver

 

includes this capability, the RIP ONCE function 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 prints exactly the same every time

 

because the compressed image does not depend on any other printer data.

 

Saving printer setup information (Quick Sets)

 

Printer drivers allow you to save the printer settings you use most often as the default settings.

 

For example, the driver might be set to print on letter size-paper with portrait orientation and

 

automatic tray selection (from the first available tray).

 

Some versions of the printer driver allow you to save printer settings for multiple kinds of print

 

jobs. For example, you might want to create a Quick Set for envelopes, or for printing the first

 

page of a document on letterhead.

 

See the printer driver online Help for more information about the Quick Sets feature.

 

Fit to Page

 

Some versions of the printer driver include a feature called Fit to Page that lets you scale the

 

page image from any page size to any page size. You can do this either by a numeric

 

percentage or by specifying a different paper size scale.

 

See the printer driver online Help for more information about the Fit to Page feature.

 

Printing booklets

 

Some versions of the printer driver let you control the printing of booklets when duplexing. You

 

can select binding on the left or right side on Letter, Legal, or A4 paper size.

 

See the printer driver online Help for more information about the printing booklets feature.
