P RINT SETTINGS AND SECURITY
Your MFP’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. Other
Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the
principles are the same.
PCL OR POSTSCRIPT ?
Three printer drivers are supplied with your MFP: one for PCL5c
emulation, one for PCL6 emulation, and the other for PostScript 3
emulation. If you print mainly from general “Office” applications
choose one of the PCL drivers. For faster printing of PDF
documents, choose PostScript. If you print mainly from
professional DTP and graphics applications, choose PostScript.
P RINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
Print Props Button.eps
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 machine
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.
