    follows.
    >The ProQ1200 setting prints at 2400 x 600dpi. This 
    setting requires the most printer memory and takes 
    the longest to print. It is the best option for printing 
    photographs. 
    >The High Quality setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi and is 
    the best option for printing vector objects such as 
    graphics and text.

    SETTING FROM WINDOWS CONTROL PANEL
    When you open the driver properties window directly from 
    Windows, rather than from within an application program, a 
    somewhat more extensive range of settings is provided. Changes 
    made here will generally affect all documents you print from 
    Windows applications, and will be remembered from one 
    Windows session to the next.

    the new default settings for all Windows applications.

    Advanced tab
    1.You can specify which times of day your printer will be 
    available.
    2.Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). 
    Highest priority documents will print first.
    3.Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a 
    special print file) before being printed. The document is 
    then printed in the background, allowing your application 
    program to become available more quickly. Options 
    follow:
    This specifies that printing should not start until the last 
    page has been spooled. If your application program needs 
    a lot of time for further computation in the middle of 
    printing, causing the print job to pause for more than a 
    short period, the printer could prematurely assume that 
    the document has finished. Selecting this option would 
    prevent that situation, but printing will be completed a 
    little later, as the start is delayed.
    This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing starts 
    as soon as possible after the document begins spooling.

    4.This specifies that the document should not be spooled, 
    but printed directly. Your application will not normally be 
    ready for further use until the print job is complete. This 
    requires less disk space on your computer, since there is 
    no spool file.
    5.Directs the spooler to check the document setup and 
    match it to the printer setup before sending the document 
    to print. If a mismatch is detected, the document is held 
    in the print queue and does not print until the printer 
    setup is changed and the document restarted from the 
    print queue. Mismatched documents in the queue will not 
    prevent correctly matched documents from printing.
    6.Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which 
    have completed spooling when deciding which document 
    to print next, even if completed documents are lower 
    priority than documents which are still spooling. If no 
    documents have completed spooling, the spooler will 
    favour larger spooling documents over shorter ones. Use 
    this option if you want to maximise printer efficiency. 
    When this option is disabled the spooler chooses 
    documents based only on their priority settings.
    7.Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents 
    after they are completed. This allows documents to be re 
    submitted to the printer from the spooler instead of 
    printing again from the application program. If you use 
    this option frequently it will require large amounts of disk 
    space on your computer.
    8.Specifies whether advanced features, such as pages per 
    sheet, are available, depending on your printer. For 
    normal printing keep this option enabled. If compatibility 
    problems occur you can disable the feature. However, 
    these advanced options may then not be available, even 
    though the hardware might support them.
    9.This button provides access to the same setup windows as 
    when printing from applications. Changes made via the 
    Windows Control Panel become the Windows default 
    settings.
    10.You can design and specify a separator page that prints 
    between documents. This is particularly useful on a
