To select printing options, follow these steps:

From the
Control Panel
, double-click the
Printers
icon.

dialog box, choose the

. A dialog box
appears with the printer’s name across the top.

Click the following tabs to see printing options; refer to your Windows documentation for more
information on tabs and options.

PostScript
For PostScript-related options
In the
Performance Options
field, select the

option.
Under
PostScript Timeout
values, leave
Job Timeout
set to
0
. Leave the
WaitTimeout
set to the
default,

alert message is displayed.
Job Control
For print job-related options
Note
The PostScript header contains important PostScript information that must accompany each print job;
it is not a banner page printed with each job. If an option is not selected, an error message is displayed
on your computer screen and your job does not print.
Click one of the following in the
PostScript header
field:
Download Each Job
This option downloads PostScript header information with each print job.
Already Downloaded
This saves the PostScript header information in the printer. After selecting this button, select
the
Download
button. This option makes print files a little smaller and faster than the first
option, but you need to click the
Download
button every time the printer is turned off or reset.
For better performance, select the
Binary Mode
option.
