B4400/4500/4550/4600 User’s Guide

77

This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your 

printer from either a Windows or a Macintosh environment. In 

the Windows environment, PCL emulation is available on the 

B4400, B4500, B4550 and B4600 printer models. PS is 

available as an option on the B4500, B4550 and B4600 

models. 

NOTE: The illustrations in this guide relate to Windows 2000 

PCL and PS emulations – other operating system windows 

may appear slightly different but the principles are the same.

The operator panel controlled menus and Status Monitor 

controlled menus (described in the chapter entitled “Operator 

panels”) 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 and Status Monitor menus, and you 

print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows 

printer driver will override those settings in the operator panel 

and Status Monitor menus.

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 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.
PCL emulation
The tabs available are the Setup Tab, the Job Options Tab 

and the Image Tab.
