Click the Paper tab to see media options, such as media sizes, media trays, and media types.

Click the Features tab to see printer-speciÞc options, such as color corrections.

Set the Timeout settings.

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 sent to the printer. To avoid these unnecessary timeouts, set this option to a larger value, such as 900 seconds (15 minutes). Type a value between 45 and 999 in this text box; the Windows default setting is 45 seconds.

Click the PostScript tab to see PostScript-related options.

In the Performance Options Þeld, select the Use PostScript Level 2 Features option.
