The following procedure is based on Windows XP, for other operating systems, refer to the corresponding Windows user's guide or online help.

Installing Printer Software

You can install the printer software for local printing or network printing. To install the printer software on the computer, perform the appropriate installation procedure depending on the printer in use.

A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. The procedure to install drivers may differ depending on the operating system you are using.

This is recommended for most users. All components necessary for printer operations will be installed.

Make sure that the printer is connected to your computer and powered on.

Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

The CD-ROM should automatically run, and an installation window appears.

selected paper size regardless of the document size. (See “Fitting Your Document to a Selected Paper Size” on page 21.)

contents to appear larger or smaller on the printed page by typing in a percentage you want. (See “Change percentage of your document” on page 21.)

• Download as Outline: This option allows the driver to download

any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not stored (resident) on your machine. If, after printing a document, you find

that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as Bit Image and resubmit your print job. This feature is available only

when you use the PCL printer driver.

• Download as Bit Image: This option allows the driver to

download the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or Chinese, or various other

fonts, will print faster in this setting. Download as Bit Image is

useful when printing from Adobe programs.

• Print as Graphics: This option allows the driver to download any

fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this setting.

• Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the

printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 13.
