Job options tab
1.The output resolution  of the printed page can be set as follows.
> The ProQ1200 setting for B410d and B410dn  prints at 2400 x 600dpi. This setting 
requires the most printer me mory and takes the longest to print. Your printed pages 
can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery. It is the best option for printing 
photographs.
> The High Quality  setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi for B410d, B410dn and 1200 x 
1200dpi for B430d, B430dn and B440dn is the best option for printing vector 
objects such as graphics and text. 
> The Normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is suitable for most printing jobs.
> The Draft setting prints at 300 x 300dpi  and is suitable for printing draft 
documents that contain mainly text. You  can select Toner Saving to save toner 
for some print jobs.
2. Page orientation can be set to either portra it (tall) or landscape (wide). Both views 
can be rotated by 180 degrees. 
3. You can print watermark text behind the main  page image. This is useful for marking 
documents as draft, confidential, etc.
If you would like to print on special statio nery, such as forms and letterhead, but do 
not want to use pre-printed stationery, you  can create your own using Overlays (for 
B430d, B430dn and B440dn). For more inform ation on Overlays and Macros refer to 
“Overlays and Macros (Windows only)” on page 53 . The Overlays button also offers 
guidelines on how to carry out manual duplex printing.
4. In Raster (bitmap) mode, processing of  the page image is done in the computer 
leaving little processing for the printer to do , although the file size may be large. In 
Vector mode, file sizes may be smaller an d so transmission over a network, for 
example, may be faster. These effects ar e more pronounced for graphics printing 
than for text printing.
5. You can select up to 999 copies to print consecutively, although you will need to top 
up the paper tray during such a long print run.
6. Your printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery, within a range of 
25% to 400% of the original size.

used in printing. Selecting a setting determ ines the degree of detail with which a 
graphics image will be printed. Mesh determ ines that a screen of dots is used for 
dithering while Line Art determines that an array of lines is used for dithering.
2. Select dithering texture by setting the si ze of dots used in the halftone screen.
3. Set this control to print greyscale effect s in black without dithering. Select the 
check-box to disable greyscale printing  or de-select the check-box to enable 
greyscale printing.
4. You can manually adjust lightness (the high er the setting the lighter the print) and 
contrast (the higher the setting the greater the contrast).
5. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

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.
PCL emulation
The main tabs are the General Tab, Advanced Tab  and Device Options Tab .
General tab
1.This area lists some of the  main features of your printer, including optional items.
2. This button opens the same windows as described earlier for items which can be set 
from within application programs. Changes you make here, however, will become 
the new default settings for all Windows applications.
3. This button prints a test page to  ensure that your printer is working.
NOTE
The above features are provided by th e Windows XP operating system and will 
vary with other operating systems.

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 spoole d (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 star t 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 ha s 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 no t 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 ne xt, even if completed documents are lower 
priority than documents which are still sp ooling. If no documents have completed 
spooling, the spooler will favour larger sp ooling 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 dele te 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, su ch 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 Wind ows 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 shared printer to  help each user find their own documents in 
the output stack.
