Installing Smart Soft

SmartJet Printer Driver

Before you can use any type of printer with your computer, you must install a printer driver. The printer driver tells the computer what kind of a printer you are using. The printer driver also controls the various settings, such as print quality and paper type. You define these settings within the printer driver, and the printer driver then communicates the settings to both the computer and the printer.

To use the SmartJet as your printer, you must install the SmartJet Printer Driver in your computer. After installing the printer driver, make sure the SmartJet is selected as a default printer to use SmartJet as your printer.

SmartJet Scanner Driver

Scanner driver allows you to scan images from any graphics or OCR (optical character recognition) applications programme that supports the TWAIN standard (e.g. Presto! PageManager, Adobe Photoshop). To use the SmartJet as your scanner, you must install the SmartJet Scanner Driver in your computer.

Presto! PageManager

With Presto! PageManager, you can easily scan documents and photographs into your computer and maintain them as electronic documents. You can also use Presto! PageManager to quickly transmit scanned documents by fax or electronic mail, or to print a copy on your printer.

To use Presto! PageManager as your scanning application, you must install the Presto! PageManager in your computer.

SmartFAX RCP Utility

The SmartFAX Remote Control Programme (RCP) utility enables you to make a copy or send a fax through your SmartJet machine even when an extension phone is not connected with your SmartJet. If you install the RCP utility, the SmartFAX program is installed on your computer. The SmartFAX allows you to dial a fax number and set up advanced fax options. The display window on the SmartFAX shows the current status, and information messages and prompts.

The SmartFAX is installed on LPT1. You can change the LPT port, if necessary. See page 1.22.

Installing Smart Soft

SmartJet Fax Driver

The SmartJet Fax Driver allows you to use a Class-2 compatible PC-FAX application like WinFax LITE 4.0. The SmartJet Fax Driver is a Windows programme that silently runs in the background all the time. You can open the SmartJet Fax Driver display by clicking on itÕs icon in the Control Panel menu. You can also terminate the Fax Driver at any time, if necessary.

When you exit the Fax Driver, it will offer you two options. One option is to terminate the SmartJet, and the other option is to keep the Fax Driver running in the background. If you decide to terminate the Fax Driver then all current and future SmartJet usage will be terminated until you restart the SmartJet Fax Driver or restart Windows. You can also restart the SmartJet Fax Driver from the Control Panel menu at any time.

You can change the Fax Driver COM port, which should be consistent with the COM port used by PC-FAX application. Its default COM port is COM3.

1 Getting Started

¥Your SmartJet cannot perform more than one job at the same time. If you

try to use the SmartJet while it performs one job, it may malfunction.

¥It is recommended not to set automatic receiving mode through the PC-FAX

application like WinFax LITE, because it occupies the LPT port all the time and you cannot use your SmartJet for printing, scanning, or any other job.

Printer Settings

You can use the SmartJet with all your Windows 95 or Windows 3.x applications. Be sure to set the SmartJet as the default printer for all your Windows operations.

Most Windows software applications allow you to make changes to the printer settings. This includes settings that determine how a print job looks, such as page size, paper orientation, and margins. Settings changed in the software application will usually override settings made in the printer driver.

The printer driver includes many of the settings mentioned above (in case your software application does not include them). It also includes all settings that determine how your printer will operate.

Accessing Print Settings

In Windows 95

¥ From within any Windows application, you can select the Print or Print

Setup command.

¥ From the Printers folder, you can select the printer and then select the

Properties command from the File menu.

¥ From the Printers folder, you can select the printer, click the right mouse

button, and then select Properties from the drop down list.

Grey-scale objects (such as photographs) whose grey dots have been converted to a pattern of groups of black dots. These groups, which are of various sizes, along with the white dots (pixels turned off), create the illusion of grey shadings: larger groups make the image appear black or dark grey, while smaller groups make the image appear light grey.

Paper Handling

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible printing performance of your SmartJet is to select the correct paper. Your SmartJet produces letter quality print on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.

Selecting Paper Types

Plain Paper

The SmartJet supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges.

Coated Paper

The coated paper has been developed for high quality printing with minimal or no smearing or running when in contact with water or damp surfaces, making it a good choice for damp or rainy environments.

Glossy Photo Paper

Glossy photo paper is a high gloss, thicker paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph. Use this paper to produce photo-realistic prints from your printer.

Transparency

The transparencies produce excellent contrast, sharpness, and colour.

Iron-on Transfer

Use T-shirt transfers to create and personalize T-shirts, sweatshirts, aprons, tablecloths, napkins, tote bags, and anything else your imagination allows! Use on any cotton or cotton/poly blend fabric. Your image is printed in mirror image so when you iron it onto the T-shirt, the image is viewed correctly. You have to choose manual feeding.

Special Paper Guidelines

¥ Be sure to read any instructions that come with your special paper. These

instructions provide important information regarding how to achieve the highest print quality with these papers.

¥ It is recommended to feed one sheet at a time using the manual tray for

special paper types.

¥ For transparency film, and glossy photo paper, follow these guidelines:

- Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them.

- When a sheet of film has dried completely, cover its printed side with a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing it; this is recommended even if you place the sheets of film in a clear file or plastic holder.

- Do not leave the film in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing.

- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while loading and handling the film.

- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed film to prolonged sunlight.

- Store unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers from their protective packaging until you are ready to use them.

- Store unused film at temperatures between 59

F to 86OF (15OC to 30OC).

The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

¥ If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may curl

slightly due to the large amount of ink. If you need to print dense graphics, try printing on heavier stock.

¥ Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this printer.

Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles may damage the cartridge.

Printing Speed Versus Colour

The SmartJet Printer Driver for Windows can interpret and translate the full spectrum of colours, up to 16.7 million colours. When printing in colour, there is a significant increase in the amount of information that the driver has to interpret and translate. When printing black ink only, the driver has only one colour to interpret.

By decreasing the amount of colours that the printer driver has to interpret, you can significantly decrease the time needed to translate the information. This will speed up the overall printing process.

For Quick Colour Printing

In the SmartJet Printer Driver for Windows, choose the following print options. These selections allow the printer driver to interpret and translate 256 colours, which will increase your printing speed. However, your print quality will not be optimized.

¥ Paper Type - Plain Paper

¥ Print Quality - Fast Draft

For High Quality Colour Printing

For the SmartJet, select the print options shown below to allow the printer driver to interpret and translate up to 16.7 million colours. Keep in mind that your print speed will be slower than with other setting combinations.

¥ Paper Type - Glossy/Photo Paper

¥ Print Quality - High

For Monochrome Printing

Use the black cartridge to optimize the printerÕs performance when you are printing black text and graphics only.

In the printer driver, choose the following print options to tell your SmartJet to print using black ink only.

¥ Paper Type - Plain Paper

¥ Print Quality - Normal

¥ Document Type - Black Only

Turn on this feature if you want to reduce an incoming page that may otherwise need to be divided into two pages with only a few centimeters on the second page. If the fax machine cannot reduce the data to fit into one page with the feature enabled, the data is divided and printed in actual size on two or more sheets if needed.

Select On to turn this feature on. Select Off to turn this feature off. The overflow data will be printed out on a second page.
