Watermarks
A watermark is an image which appears behind the
print on a page. You can show a company’s name
in a large, lightened version behind faxes, letters
and memos, or mark a draft document.
2-up/4-up Layout
Multiple-up printing makes it possible to print two
or four pages on a single sheet of paper, with or
without a border.
Collated Page Printing
Normally the printer feeds the printed pages into
the output tray face up with the first page at the
bottom of the stack. Use this feature to print multipage documents so that the first page is at the top
of the stack.
Image Settings
Select mirror or negative print, dithering, gray scale
printing and print quality settings.
