O
PERATION
This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your
printer from either a Windows or a Macintosh environment. In the
former, while PCL emulation is available on all printer models, PS
emulation is standard only on the B4600nPS, B4600LnPS model
and is optional on the B4600, B4600L and B4600n, B4600Ln
models.

The operator panel controlled menus and Status Monitor
controlled menus (described in the chapter entitled “Operator
panels”) provide access to many options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of
these items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as
those in the operator panel and Status Monitor menus, and you
print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows
printer driver will override those settings in the operator panel
and Status Monitor menus.

APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your document from a Windows
application program a Print dialogue box appears. This dialogue
usually specifies the name of the printer on which you will print
your document. Next to the printer name is a
Properties
button.
When you click
Properties
a new window opens which contains
a short list of the printer settings available in the driver, which
you can choose for this document. The settings available from
within your application are only those which you may want to
change for specific applications or documents. Settings you
change here will usually only last for as long as the particular
application program is running.
NOTE
The illustrations in this guide relate to Windows 2000 PCL and
PS emulations – other operating system windows may appear
slightly different but the principles are the same.
