When you click the Properties button from your application’s Print dialogue, the driver window opens to allow you to specify your printing preferences for this document.

of the paper to feed, which may be Tray 1 (the

standard paper tray), Tray 2 (if you have the optional 2nd paper tray installed) or the multi purpose feeder. You can also click on the appropriate part of the screen graphic to select your preferred tray.

3.A variety of document finishing options can be selected, such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can be any number up to 16) for printing scaled down pages at more than one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints two pages per sheet on each side of the paper so that when folded they make up a booklet. Booklet printing requires the duplex unit to be installed in your printer.

Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over multiple sheets.

4.For two-sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by the long edge or the short edge. Of course, this requires that a duplex unit be installed in your printer.

5.If you have changed some printing preferences before and saved them as a set, you can recall them to avoid having to set them individually each time you need them.

6.A single on-screen button restores the default settings.
