PRINTING FROM WINDOWS

Setting Up Print Options

Print Options are the attributes you set to define the way a print job is processed. For example, the private print and proof print options determine how the copier manages your print job.
• To find the printing instructions for your specific needs, see the procedures in the following section.
P.37 "Printing With Best Functions for Your Needs"
Setting print options using profiles
Using profiles, you can save the print settings or apply the saved settings to a print job.
• There are 5 factory default profiles.
- BW, Duplex, Staple & 2in1
- Color Booklet
- Duplex & Staple
- Duplex, Staple & 2in1
- Duplex, Staple & Punch
How to set up
There are several ways to set print options. How the settings affect printing varies depending on the way you set the options. The tabs displayed also vary depending on how you display the printer properties.
Setting initial values of print options
Setting the print options by displaying the printer properties from the Printers folder within the Windows Start menu will establish the initial values of the options. For example, the paper size setting you most commonly use, optional device settings, user information settings, etc., are settings you will not want to change every time you print. It is convenient to set these options as initial values.
How to display
Click the [Start] menu and select [Devices
1
and Printers].
Select the printer driver of your equipment,
2
click the [File] menu and select [Printing Preferences].
If the [File] menu is not displayed, press [Alt].
In order to print a document using profiles, you must first create the saved profile.

Select this to print the first copy of a multicopy job and then wait for approval before printing the remaining copies. If a print job is sent as a proof job, one copy of the job is printed and the remaining copies are saved in the proof job queue on this equipment, which are not printed until you activate printing from the touch panel display. This option allows you to check a job’s output before printing the remaining copies and thereby reduce paper waste.
Note
• When you want to print multiple copies, each of which is to be sent as an individual print job by your application, all the copies, not just one copy, will be printed even if you set Proof Print. In such a case, print just one trial copy first, and then specify the required number of copies on the touch panel display.
• The [Paper Handling] tab, [Image Quality] tab, [Effect] tab and [Templates] tab appear only when each setting is enabled with the Plug-in feature.
