Printing from Windows
Your printer’s menus provide access to many options. See 
“Using the printer software” on page 61 for more information.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of 
these items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as 
those in the menus, and you print documents from Windows, 
the settings in the Windows printer driver will override those 
items in the menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show the printer in 
Windows XP/2000. Other Windows versions may appear 
slightly different, but the principles are the same.
Printer driver settings
A printer driver is a software program that controls a printer. 
The printer driver feeds data about printing requirements for a 
document to the printer.
You can make printer driver settings either from Windows 
Printers window (called “Printers and Faxes” in Windows XP) 
or from within a Windows application. The driver settings you 
make from the Windows “Printing Preferences” dialog box are 
essentially default settings and will be remembered from one 
Windows session to the next. The driver settings you make 
from within a Windows application, e.g. in the File -> Print 
dialog box in Microsoft Word, are those required for a 
particular job and will not be remembered the next time you 
open this application. In both cases, you can save and name 
(on the Setup tab) specific sets of driver settings which can be 
recalled for future use.

Printing preferences in Windows applications
When you choose to print your document from a Windows 
application program a Print dialog box appears. This dialog 
usually specifies the name of the printer on which you will print 
your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties 
button.
 When you click Properties a new window opens which 
contains a short list of the printer settings available in the 
driver, which you can choose for this document. The settings 
available from within your application are only those which you 
may want to change for specific applications or documents. 
Settings you change here will usually only last for as long as 
the particular application program is running.

Setup tab
When you click the Properties button from your application’s 
Print dialog, the driver window opens to allow you to specify 
your printing preferences for the current document.  
1.Size
Paper size should be the same as the page size of your 
document (unless you wish to scale the printout to fit 
another size), and should also be the same as the size of 
paper you will feed into the printer.
2.Source
You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which 
may be Tray 1 (the Cassette Tray) or the Multi Purpose 
Tray. You can either select the tray from the dropdown list 
or you can click on the appropriate part of the printer 
graphic to select your preferred tray.
3.Weig ht
The setting for paper weight should match the type of 
paper on which you intend to print. 
4.Paper Feed Options
Click on the Paper Feed Options button to modify your 
document to fit to paper of a different size and to access 
advanced Cassette Tray and Multi Purpose tray settings.
5.Finishing Mode
A variety of document finishing options can be selected, 
such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can 
be a maximum of 16) for printing scaled down pages at 
more than one page per sheet.
Select the Poster printing option to print large pages as tiles 
spread over multiple sheets.
6.2-Sided Printing
You can choose to print on one side of a sheet only or to 
use 2-sided printing (duplex printing). Your printer allows 
you to carry out manual duplex printing, meaning you 
must pass the paper through the printer twice. For more 
information, see “2-sided printing (Windows only)” on

page 46. The Duplex Help button also offers guidelines 
on how to carry out manual duplex printing.
7.Driver Settings
If you have changed some printing preferences before 
and saved them as a set under a specific name, you can 
recall them under driver settings. Saving driver settings 
means that you can avoid having to set printing 
preferences individually each time you need them.
8.Default
Click the Default button to restore the default printer 
settings.
