PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS > 20

Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many options. 
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 
operator panel menus, and you print documents from Windows, the 
settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the 
operator panel menus.

The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Windows 2000 
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same.

Two printer drivers are supplied with your printer: one for PCL 
emulation, and the other for PostScript 3 emulation. If you print 
mainly from general “Office” applications choose the PCL driver. For 
faster printing of PDF documents, choose PostScript. If you print 
mainly from professional DTP and graphics applications, choose 
PostScript.

When you choose to print your 
document from a Windows 
application program a print 
dialogue box appears. This 
dialogue 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 window which opens when you click 

Properties depends on which 

printer driver has been installed. The PostScript driver offers different 
choices to the PCL driver.
