OPERATION

The preceding section on Printer Drivers explained how to set up the default operation of the various features. These were accessed via the Windows program.

This section explains how to change the printers operation for specific print jobs when required.

This involves using the same Properties page of the printer driver, but it is accessed directly from within your Windows application program.

In this view the driver properties page may be more simplified than the illustrations here, showing only those settings that you wish to adjust.

Most applications allow the printer properties to be accessed from within the document print dialogue.

COLOUR PRINTING

The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with this machine provide several controls for changing the colour output of your printer. For general use the Auto settings will suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good results for most documents.

Many applications have their own colour settings, and these may override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the documentation for your software application for details on how that particular program’s colour management functions.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE APPEARANCE OF PRINTS

If you wish to manually adjust the colour settings in your printer driver, please be aware that colour reproduction is a complex topic, and there are many factors to take into consideration. Some of the most important factors are listed below.
