1.2 Printing preferences
1.2.2 Adjusting papersize, orientation and printing quality
Open via ‘Start’ the ‘Control Panel’ and from here ‘Printers
and Faxes’:
In the ‘Printers and Faxes’ window, right click on the
printer for which you want to adjust the preferences and
choose ‘Printing Preferences´:
Open the tab ‘Paper/Quality’
Choose the desired orientation of the image on the paper
under ‘Orientation’. A rule of thumb: the orientation
should be identical to how it’s displayed on your screen.
We call an orientation ‘Portrait’ when the paper is stand-
ing on it’s short edge and ‘Landscape’ is when it’s lying
on it’s longer edge.
Under ‘Paper Options’ you can choose the ‘Paper Size’
you want to use for your print. Under ‘Paper Source’ you
can select the drawer from which the printer should take
the paper to make your print on.
Select the printing resolution under ‘Print Quality’.
1.2.1 Opening the printing preferences
Note
In the following paragraphs the preferences for a printer will be changed via the Control Panel. If you change the
preferences via the Control Panel, these changes will be applied immediately and will be the same in any program that
you use the printer in. If you would change the preferences from within a program, these will only apply to that mo-
ment and program. If you don’t want to use these settings any more, go back to the Control Panel, change them back
and click on ‘Apply’.
5
Click on the tab ‘Finishing’.
To print on both sides of the paper, you can choose from
two options. Select ‘Long Edge’ from the drop down
menuunder‘PrintonBothSides’ifyourdocumenthas
a ‘portrait’ orientation. If you choose this option you’ll
need to turn your pages over the long edge of the paper.
Choose ‘Short Edge’ if your document has a ‘landscape’
orientation.
1.2.3 Printing on both sides
1.2.4 Using the automatic staple option
On the tab ‘Finishing’, under the option ‘Print Job’ you can
choose where you want to place your staples.
1.2.5 Printing in color or black and white
The default printing color setting is black and white.
If you want to print in color, select ‘Color’ under ‘Color
Mode’.
Note
Please don’t forget to switch the color mode back to
blackandwhite(andpress‘Apply’)whenyou’renished
printing in color. Otherwise your next prints will also be
printed in color.

1.2.6 Reducing and enlarging printjobs
On the ‘Effects’ tab you can select whether you want to
print your document reduced or enlarged to a different
paper size then the size you originally made the docu-
ment in. The default setting of the printer is ‘Full Size’,
which corresponds to a 1:1 ratio print size.
Use ‘Print on’ to choose to what A-format you want to
scale your document to when it’s printed.
Use ‘Scale 20 to 400%’ to indicate by percentages how
much your document needs to be reduced or enlarged.
The original document size corresponds to 100%.
7
The following screen will appear on the printer’s touch
screen. Choose ‘Print Jobs’ on the touchscreen.
You need to make up a unique ‘User-ID’ and password for every secure print job that you send to the printer. This
user-id and password are sent to the printer along with the print job. Once the print job is secured it can only be
printedwhenthisuser-idandpasswordareenteredintotheprinteritself.Byusingthisoptionyoucanpreventyour
document from being printed to the printer while you’re not in front of the printer itself. This way printed documents
with sensitive information can’t be taken or read by people who are not entitled to do so.
Important note
Only employees are allowed to make secure print jobs. Secure print jobs that are not yet printed will be deleted from
the print queue automatically after one day.
Follow the next steps to make a secure print job.
1.3 Secure printing: sending a ‘locked print job’ to the printer
Open the printing preferences of the printer (see para-
graph 1.2.1) where you want to send a secure print job
to and open the tab: ‘Job/Log’.
Make up a name, consisting of up to 8 alpha numeric
charactersandenterthisintheeld‘UserID’.Inthis
example we use ‘abba30’.
Select ‘Locked Print’ under ‘Job Type’, then enter a ‘Pass-
word’ consisting of 4 to 8 numbers.
Nowclickon‘Apply’andOK.Fromnowon,alldocuments
that are sent to the printer will become locked print jobs.
Print your document in the application from where you
want to print. The print job has now been sent as a
locked print job and will be kept on the printer for as long
as a day.
Now go over to the printer an push on the ‘printer button’
