Printing on different paper for the first page
Printing on different paper for the first page is useful if you are printing a letter for example that
uses letterhead on the first page and plain sheets for the subsequent pages. The size for all
pages of the print job must be the same in the printer driver.
Windows: Try to set this setting from one of these locations, in this order: the Page Setup
dialog box in the program, the Print dialog box in the program, or the Paper tab in the printer
driver.
Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x: On the General pop-up menu in the Print dialog box, select the First
Page from option. Then, select the source for the first page.
Mac OS X: On the Paper Feed pop-up menu in the Print dialog box, select the First Page
from option. Then, select the source for the first page.
Changing print quality
The printer driver automatically chooses settings for your document to optimize the quality of the
output. However, you can change these advanced settings, such as raster compression or scale
patterns (WYSIWIG).
Windows: Gain access to the Print Quality settings by clicking Details on the Finishing tab.
Mac OS: This feature is not supported.
Restoring default printer-driver settings
You can return all settings in the printer driver to their default values. This measure might be
useful if you are experiencing quality issues, or if the paper is not being selected from the correct
tray.
Windows: Choose Defaults in the Quick Sets box from the Finishing tab of the printer
driver.
Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x: Drag the desktop printer icon to the Trash, and then set up the printer in
the Chooser.
Mac OS X: The Standard option contains the default settings and is automatically selected
each time you open a program. Or, select it from the Saved Settings pop-up menu.
