Setting the printer properties
You can change the printer setting in step 3. We
recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes
and types of paper) on the unit before purchasing large
quantities.
You can change or display the settings on the following
tabs.
[Basic]: Paper size, media type, page per sheet, etc.
[Output]: Number of prints, collate, etc.
[Quality]: Resolution, contrast, toner save feature, etc.
[Effects]: Watermark, overlay.
[Profile]: Saving the desired settings, selecting the
saved settings, etc.
[Support]: Version information.
Note:
L When using special media (transparencies / labels /
envelopes), change the setting as follows.
For envelopes:
Select [Envelope #10] or [Envelope DL] on the
[Basic] tab for paper size.
For transparencies and labels:
Select [Transparency] or [Label] on the [Basic]
tab for media type, then select the desired size for
paper size.
L When printing from a computer, the toner save
feature on the [Quality] tab overrides the unit’s toner
save setting (feature #482 on page 52).
