6.Set the Timeouts. These options regulate your computerÕs communications with its printer ports.

■Device Not Selected: Type a value in this text box to change the number of seconds Windows waits before notifying you that a printer is off-line. The default is 15 seconds, and is recommended.

■Transmission Retry: On large or multiple-page documents you may see an Alert message that the printer is no longer accepting data before the job is completely downloaded to the printer. To avoid the Alert message, set this option to a larger value, such as 900 seconds (15 minutes).

7.Click OK to return to the Printers dialog box, then click the Setup button. A dialog box appears with the name of the printer you selected across the top. Use this dialog box to select paper source, paper size, number of copies, and image orientation.

Note You may want to set the number of copies from your application because the number of copies in the Setup dialog box remains the same until you change it again. Also, if you are printing multiple copies, make sure the Transmission Retry is set for at least 600 seconds (10 minutes).

8.From the Setup dialog box, click the Options button to see the Options dialog box. Refer to your Microsoft Windows documentation for details on the options in this dialog box. Make sure the Color check box is on to print in color. Select one of the following header options:

■Make sure the Send Header with Each Job check box is on to download PostScript header information with each print job. This is the recommended setting.

■Click the Send Header button. In the Send Header dialog box, select either Printer or File, and click the Send Now button. This saves the PostScript header information in the printer. This option makes print Þles a little smaller and faster, but you need to click the Send Now button every time the printer is turned on.
