JOBS

When you share a printer with other users it can be useful to print 
a special page between print jobs to help locate each user’s job 
in a paper stack at the printer. In Windows this page is called a 
“separator page”. On the Mac it is called a “cover page”.  

W

INDOWS

 

SEPARATOR

 

PAGE

The separator page is set from the printer driver’s default 
properties window. Access to this is directly from Windows, not 
from within your application program. 

See “Changing the driver 

defaults” on page 11.

  

1.

In the driver’s Advanced tab click the 

Separator Page… 

button (1).

2.

Click 

Browse (2) and navigate to a file containing an 

image of the separator page you wish to use, then click 
OK.

NOTE
Do not confuse Cover Page with “Cover Print”. Cover Print is 
when the first page (cover) of a print job is fed from one 
paper tray, and the remaining pages of the print job are fed 
from a different tray. 

See “Cover print” on page 73.
