PCL OR P OSTSCRIPT
There are a number of drivers supplied with your machine, check with your support website
for details.
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 W INDOWS APPLICATIONS
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.
P OSTSCRIPT EMULATION
1. Page orientation sets portrait (tall) or landscape
(wide) page orientation. The “rotated” rotates the
paper through 90 degrees anticlockwise.
2. When printing double sided pages (duplex unit
required). You can flip the paper either on its long
edge or short edge.
3. Pages can be printed in forward or reverse order. If
using the face down (top) paper stacker, forward
order is usually appropriate to ensure that pages are
stacked in numerical order. If using the face up
(rear) paper stacker, reverse order would normally
stack your pages in numerical order.
4. You can specify how many pages to print on a sheet. Pages will be scaled to fit the
number you choose. If you choose booklet printing (requires duplex unit) two pages
will automatically be set, and pages will be printed with the correct pages opposite
one another so that folding the stacked printout produces a booklet.
5. Advanced options are also available, such as how to download TrueType fonts, and
whether advanced options such as booklet printing are available.
The printer driver contains extensive on-line help for these items to help you make the
most appropriate choices.
