5Using Printer Drivers

Using Printer Drivers

The printer drivers, installed on your computer from the Drivers,

MarkVision and Utilities CD that came with your printer, provide you

with powerful control of the printer features from almost any soft-

ware application. Some of the things you can control include:

•Choosing paper sources

•Changing page orientation

•Choosing different sizes and types of media

•Adjusting the quality of print jobs

•Resetting printer defaults

•Multipage printing

•Changing duplex settings

•Print and Hold functions

You can open the printer driver from most applications:

1Open the application File menu.

2Choose Print (or Printer) Setup.

3In the Printer Setup dialog box, click the Properties, Options,

or Setup button (depending on the application).

6Using the Operator Panel and Menus

Using the Operator Panel and Menus

This section contains information about using the operator panel,

changing printer settings, and understanding operator panel menus.

You can change most printer settings from your software application

or printer driver. Settings you change from the application or printer

driver apply only to the job you are preparing to send to the printer.

NOTE:Changes made to printer settings from a software application

override changes made from the printer operator panel.

If there is a setting you cannot change from your application, use the

printer operator panel or the remote operator panel available from

MarkVision. Changing a printer setting from the printer operator

panel or from MarkVision makes that setting the user default.

7Using the Operator Panel and Menus

Using the

operator panel

The printer operator panel, on the front left-side of your printer, has

a 2-line by 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), five buttons,

and one indicator light.

Printer indicator light The printer indicator light gives information about the status of your

printer. If the light is:

•Off - the printer is off

•On - the printer is on, but idle

•Blinking - the printer is on and is busy
