Basic Tab

1. Media Type

   Select the type of media you want to use. To achieve the best print results, the machine automatically adjusts its print settings according to the selected media type.

   Slow Drying Paper

   Select this option if you use a type of plain paper on which ink dries slowly. This option may cause slight blurring of the text.

2. Print Quality

   Select the print resolution you want. Because print quality and speed are related, the higher the quality, the longer it will take to print the document.

3. Paper Size

   Select the size of the paper you want to use. You can either choose from standard paper sizes or create a custom paper size.

   Borderless

   Select this option to print photos without borders. Because the image data is created slightly larger than the paper size you are using, this will cause some cropping of the photo edges.

   You may not be able to select the Borderless option for some combinations of media type and quality, or from some applications.

4. Colour Mode

   Select the colour mode to suit your preference.

5. Orientation

   Select the orientation (portrait or landscape) of your printout.

   If your application contains a similar setting, we recommend that you set the orientation using the application.

6. Copies

   Type the number of copies (1-999) that you want to print in this field.

   Collate

   Select this option to print sets of multi-page documents in the original page order. When this option is selected, one complete copy of your document will print, and then reprint according to the number of copies you choose. If this option is not selected, then each page will print according to the number of copies chosen before the next page of the document is printed.

   Reverse Order

   Select this option to print your document in reverse order. The last page of your document will be printed first.

7. Multiple Page

   Select this option to print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper, or print one page of your document on multiple sheets.

   Page Order

   Select the page order when printing multiple pages on a single sheet of paper.

   Border Line

   Select the type of border to use when printing multiple pages on a single sheet of paper.

8. 2-sided / Booklet

   Select this option to print on both sides of the paper, or print a document in booklet format using 2-sided printing.

   2-sided Settings button

   Click this button to select the type of 2-sided binding. Four types of 2-sided bindings are available for each orientation.

Advanced Tab

1. Colour / Greyscale

   Select colour or greyscale printing. The print speed is faster in greyscale mode than it is in colour mode. If your document contains colour and you select greyscale mode, your document will be printed using 256 levels of greyscale.

2. Colour Enhancement

   Select this option to use the Colour Enhancement feature. This feature analyses your image to improve its sharpness, white balance and colour density. This process may take several minutes depending on the image size and your computer's specifications.

3. Ink Save Mode

   Select this option to print using lighter colours and emphasise image outlines. The amount of ink that is saved varies, depending on the type of documents printed. Ink Save Mode may make your printouts look different than they appear on your screen.

   The Ink Save Mode feature is supported by technology from Reallusion, Inc.

   

4. Scaling

   Select these options to enlarge or reduce the size of the pages in your document.
