Orientation

These settings specify the paper orientation of the print job. If Rotated is selected, the print job orientation is rotated 180 degrees.

Copies

This setting specifies the number of copies to print. For collating multiple copies, select Collate. If Reverse is selected, the printed pages appear in reverse order. Reverse is available when Printer default is not selected under Destination in the Basic tab.

Duplex

These settings enable printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.

Color

This setting specifies Full color or Black & White printing. You can also select the EcoPrint check box to make the entire image, text and graphics, appear lighter in the printed job. If you select EcoPrint, you can save toner by moving the Toner save level slider in the Imaging tab from the left (least amount of toner saved) to the right (most amount of toner saved). EcoPrint does not increase print speed.

Print Preview

This setting lets you view your document before printing.

Note: Some applications may override print settings made in the driver. Usually the application can be set to follow the settings. In Microsoft Word 2007, ensure that Default tray in Options is set to Use printer settings.

Source and Media Types

In the Basic tab, Source specifies which tray or cassette the printer uses for a printing job. The default is Auto source selection, which instructs the printer to search for the media requested by the application or the printer driver. If the selected tray or cassette empties during a print job, then the printer searches for another source, and continues the job.

Media type instructs the printer to search for the type of paper or media that is requested by the application or the printer driver. The choices shown may change depending on the selection in Source. If Auto media selection is selected, then the printer searches for another tray or cassette using the same media.

Transparencies, labels, and envelopes must be supplied from the MP tray. Ensure the paper is properly loaded by following the instructions outlined in the printing system's Operation Guide.

Note: Source and Media type are separate items in the dialog box, but can be combined using the Combine source and media type lists setting in Compatibility Settings. If they are combined, Media type is not available on the Basic tab. To change this setting, open Device Settings > Compatibility Settings and clear the Combine source and media type lists selection.

Print Size and Page Size

Print size controls the output page size of the document. To use this setting, ensure that the Page Sizes setting matches the page size setting in your application. If the Print size is different from the page size in your application, then each page is enlarged or reduced to match the Print size. The percentage value shown in brackets indicates the size of the Print size setting relative to
