Setting a custom paper size
Use the Custom Paper feature to set up the printer to print to sizes other than standard ones.
● 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: To set a custom paper size, click File, and then click Page Setup. Click the
Settings menu, and select Custom Paper Size. (Mac OS X v10.2 does not support
custom paper-size settings.)
Printing in grayscale
If you have a document that you created in color, it will automatically print in color. Or, you
can set the printer to print a color document in grayscale (black and white) only.
● Windows: Select the Print In Grayscale option on the Color tab of the printer driver.
● Mac: In the Print dialog box, select the Color Options tab, and then select the Print
Color as Gray checkbox.
Changing the color settings
When you are printing in color, the printer driver automatically sets the optimal color settings
for you. However, you can manually make adjustments to how the printer prints in color for
text, graphics, and photographs. See
Printing on special media for more information.
● Windows: On the Color tab of the printer driver, click Settings.
● Mac: In the Print dialog box, click the Color Options tab, and then the Show Advanced
Options button.
Creating and using watermarks
Use the Watermark options to specify that text be placed "underneath" (in the background
of) an existing document. For example, you might want to have large gray letters reading
"draft" or "confidential" placed diagonally across the first page or all pages of a document.
You can change color, position, and wording of the watermark.
