When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the
printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used
in conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray, the paper path through the printer is
essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in the paper path and
enables feeding of up to 220g/m² media.

APER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and
sizes, labels and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and
explains how to use each type.

The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75~90g/m² paper designed
for use in copiers and laser printers.

Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.

Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high
fuser temperatures used in the printing process.

Envelopes

CAUTION!

Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations.
They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that
remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in
this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.

Labels

CAUTION!

Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers
and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely
covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the
printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray if you have one, or multi
purpose tray) you have the printer automatically switch to the other tray when the current

tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled
in the driver settings. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the
Print Menu. (See “AUTO TRAY SWITCH” on page 43.)

RINTING SETTINGS IN

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. Other Windows versions may appear
slightly different, but the principles are the same.

P

RINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS 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 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.

1. 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. You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which may be Tray 1 (the standard
paper tray) or the multi purpose feeder. You can also click on the appropriate part of
the screen graphic to select your preferred tray.

3. The setting for paper weight should match the type of paper on which you intend to
print.

4. A variety of document finishing options can be selected, such as normal one page
per sheet, or N-up (where N can be any number up to 16) for printing scaled down
pages at more than one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints two pages per sheet
on each side of the paper so that when folded they make up a booklet.

Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over multiple sheets.

1. The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows.

> The ProQ2400 setting prints at 600 x 600dpi x 2 bit. This option requires the most

printer memory and takes the longest to print.

> The Fine/Detail setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi and is adequate for all but the

most discerning applications.

> The Normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is suitable for most draft

documents, where print quality is less critical.

2. You can print watermark text behind the main page image. This is useful for marking
documents as draft, confidential, etc.

3. You can select up to 999 copies to print consecutively, although you will need to top
up the paper tray during such a long print run.

4. Page orientation can be set to either portrait (tall) or landscape (wide).

5. You printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery.

1. Control over the colour output of your printer may be performed automatically, or
for advanced control, by manual adjustment. The automatic setting will be
appropriate in most cases. The other options in this window only become visible
when you select a choice other than Auto.

2. You can choose from a range of colour matching options, depending on the image
source for your document. For example, a photograph taken on a digital camera
might require different colour matching to a business graphic created in a
spreadsheet application. Again, for most general purpose use, automatic is the best
choice.

3. Printed output may be made lighter or darker, or the colours made more saturated
and vibrant as required.

4. Black areas may be printed using cyan, magenta and yellow (composite black),
giving a more glossy appearance, or using only black toner (true black), giving a
more matte appearance. Choosing the automatic setting allows the driver to make
the most appropriate choice depending on image content.

2. Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). Highest priority

documents will print first.

3. Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a special print file) before
being printed. The document is then printed in the background, allowing your
application program to become available more quickly.

4. This specifies that printing should not start until the last page has been spooled. If
your application program needs a lot of time for further computation in the middle of

Printing settings in Windows (C310 and C510 only) > 24

printing, causing the print job to pause for more than a short period, the printer
could prematurely assume that the document has finished. Selecting this option
would prevent that situation, but printing will be completed a little later, as the start
is delayed.

5. This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing starts as soon as possible after
the document begins spooling.

6. This specifies that the document should not be spooled, but printed directly. Your
application will not normally be ready for further use until the print job is complete.
This requires less disk space on your computer, since there is no spool file.

7. Directs the spooler to check the document setup and match it to the printer setup
before sending the document to print. If a mismatch is detected, the document is
held in the print queue and does not print until the printer setup is changed and the
document restarted from the print queue. Mismatched documents in the queue will
not prevent correctly matched documents from printing.

8. Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which have completed spooling
when deciding which document to print next, even if completed documents are lower
priority than documents which are still spooling. If no documents have completed
spooling, the spooler will favour larger spooling documents over shorter ones. Use
this option if you want to maximise printer efficiency. When this option is disabled
the spooler chooses documents based only on their priority settings.

9. Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents after they are completed.
This allows documents to be re submitted to the printer from the spooler instead of
printing again from the application program. If you use this option frequently it will
require large amounts of disk space on your computer.

10. Specifies whether advanced features, such as booklet printing, page order and
pages per sheet, are available, depending on your printer. For normal printing keep
this option enabled. If compatibility problems occur you can disable the feature.
However, these advanced options may then not be available, even though the
hardware might support them.

applications. Changes made via the Windows Control Panel become the Windows
