In your application software, set up the printing options for a
color printer driver. For more information on making these
selections, refer to your application software’s user manual.

Make sure that the PC communication ports have been set up
correctly. Refer to “Setting up PC ports (DOS)” on page 2-34 for

Generic PostScript printer drivers do not have information about
your Phaser 240 printer, for example, its page sizes and its image
area size. Using a standard Letter- or A4-size media selection
should produce acceptable results.
