Controlling the Printer

There are several ways to control the settings of your printer:
The Print menu in your software program
o
The Remote Control Panel utility
o
The printer's control panel buttons
o
With SelecType
o
You almost always use the Print menu of your software to control the
printer. The Print menu allows you to control the most commonly
adjusted parameters, including the number of copies, resolution, and
orientation.
Some printer settings, such as the Toner Save Mode and RITech
(Resolution Improvement Technology), cannot be changed from your
software program. Also, a few software programs do not allow you to
control printer settings. In these cases, you can use the Remote
Control Panel utility or SelecType to adjust the printer settings. See
"Remote Control Panel Utility," for when to use the Remote Control
Panel.
The printer's control panel buttons allow you to enter SelecType, turn
Toner Save Mode on or off, and recover from errors. For an
explanation of changing settings with the contol panel, see the next
section "Control Panel."
Note:
If you are using Microsoft
the printer through the Printers icon in the Control Panel of Windows.
Double-clicking on the Printers icon brings up a dialog box that
allows you to install and select the printer driver, change
the printer's interface port, and control the printing of your files.
Normally you need to use the Printers icon only when you first set
up the printer. See your Windows manual for more information.
