Paper Handling

1. Collate pages

   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.

2. Page Order

   Select the page order.

3. Scale to fit paper size

   Select this option to enlarge or reduce the pages in your document to fit the selected paper size.

4. Destination Paper Size

   Select the paper size to print on.

5. Scale down only

   Select this option if you want to reduce the pages in your document when they are too large for the selected paper size. If this option is selected and the document is formatted for a paper size that is smaller than the paper size you are using, the document will be printed at its original size.

Print Settings

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Color / Grayscale

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

5. Advanced

   Change Data Transfer Mode

   Select the print data transfer mode to improve print quality or print speed.

   Reduce Smudge

   Some types of print media may need more drying time. Change this option if you have problems with smudged printouts or paper jams.

   Other Print Options

   Paper Thickness

   Select the appropriate paper thickness.

   Bi-Directional Printing

   Select this option to increase the print speed. When this option is selected, the print head prints in both directions. When this option is cleared, the print head prints in only one direction, resulting in higher quality printouts but causing slower print speeds.

   Sometimes, the movement of the print head may vary due to environmental conditions. This may be seen when you print vertical lines and they do not align. If you encounter this problem, turn off the Bi-Directional Printing feature.

Color Settings

1. Color Mode

   Select the color mode to suit your preference.

2. Advanced Color Settings

   Click the disclosure triangle to view the Advanced Color Settings. Select the Color Enhancement check box, and then set the options using the sliders. This process may take several minutes depending on the size of the image and the specifications of your computer.
