Setting Up Options

To use the installed options correctly, you have to set up the printer driver. If the options are not recognized, you cannot use them even though they are physical­ly installed on the printer. The method of setting up the printer driver may differ depending on the operating system.
Windows
You can set up any of the options with the following tabs.
Operating System Tab's name
Windows 95/98 [ Windows NT 4.0 [
Note
You should access the printer driver from Windows to set up the options. You cannot set up options when accessing the printer driver from an ap­plication.
Limitation

When you set up options, log on using an account that has Full Control permission.
