PRINTING
To print from Windows platforms, install the PostScript printer driver. The drivers are
included on the User Software (Drivers) CD / DVD. Be sure to configure the options in the
Advanced tab of the printer driver after installation is complete. For full instructions, see
Printing from Windows manual.
After you install the printer driver, you can specify print settings for a particular job and
print it to your machine. You can also set default print settings using the driver.
If you print to a virtual printer, you may not be able to set some print options, depending
on how the virtual printer is configured.
The following procedures explain how to use the printer driver to specify print options. For
information about specific print options, see
