    1.Dithering produces an intermediate greysc ale by adjusting the combination of dots 
    used in printing. Selecting a setting determ ines the degree of detail with which a 
    graphics image will be printed. Mesh determ ines that a screen of dots is used for 
    dithering while Line Art determines that an array of lines is used for dithering.
    2. Select dithering texture by setting the si ze of dots used in the halftone screen.
    3. Set this control to print greyscale effect s in black without dithering. Select the 
    check-box to disable greyscale printing  or de-select the check-box to enable 
    greyscale printing.

    2.You can print watermark text behind the main  page image. This is useful for marking 
    documents as draft, confidential, etc.
    If you would like to print on special statio nery, such as forms and letterhead, but do 
    not want to use pre-printed stationery, you  can create your own using Overlays (for 
    B430dn). For more information on  Overlays and Macros, refer to “Overlays and 
    Macros (Windows only)” on page 55 . The Overlays button also offers guidelines on 
    how to carry out manual duplex printing.

    SETTING FROM WINDOWS CONTROL PANEL
    When you open the driver properties window  directly from Windows, rather than from 
    within an application program,  a somewhat more extensive range of settings is provided. 
    Changes made here will generally affect  all documents you print from Windows 
    applications, and will be remembered  from one Windows session to the next.
    PCL emulation
    The main tabs are the General Tab, Advanced Tab  and Device Options Tab .
    General tab
    1.This area lists some of the  main features of your printer, including optional items.
    2. This button opens the same windows as described earlier for items which can be set 
    from within application programs. Changes you make here, however, will become 
    the new default settings for all Windows applications.
    3. This button prints a test page to  ensure that your printer is working.
    NOTE
    The above features are provided by th e Windows XP operating system and will 
    vary with other operating systems.

    Advanced tab
    1.You can specify which times of day your printer will be available.
    2. Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). Highest priority 
    documents will print first.
    3. Specifies that documents should be spoole d (stored in a special print file) before 
    being printed. The document  is then printed in the background, allowing your 
    application program to become available more quickly. Options follow:
    This specifies that printing should not star t until the last page has been spooled. If 
    your application program needs a lot of time for further computation in the middle of 
    printing, causing the print job to pause for  more than a short period, the printer could 
    prematurely assume that the document ha s finished. Selecting this option would 
    prevent that situation, but printing will be  completed a little later, as the start is 
    delayed.
    This is the opposite choice to  the one above. Printing starts as soon as possible after 
    the document begins spooling.
    4. This specifies that the document should no t be spooled, but printed directly. Your 
    application will not normally be ready for further use until the print job is complete. 
    This requires less disk space on your  computer, since there is no spool file.
    5. Directs the spooler to check the document  setup and match it to the printer setup 
    before sending the document to print. If  a mismatch is detected, the document is 
    held in the print queue and  does not print until the printer setup is changed and the 
    document restarted from the print queue.  Mismatched documents in the queue will 
    not prevent correctly matched documents from printing.
    6. Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which have completed spooling 
    when deciding which document to print ne xt, even if completed documents are lower 
    priority than documents which are still sp ooling. If no documents have completed 
    spooling, the spooler will favour larger sp ooling documents over shorter ones. Use 
    this option if you want to maximise printer efficiency. When this option is disabled 
    the spooler chooses documents based  only on their priority settings.
    7. Specifies that the spooler should not dele te documents after they are completed. 
    This allows documents to be re submitted  to the printer from the spooler instead of 
    printing again from the application program. If you use this option frequently it will 
    require large amounts of disk space on your computer.
    8. Specifies whether advanced features, su ch as pages per sheet, are available, 
    depending on your printer. For normal printing keep this option enabled. If

    compatibility problems occur you can disable the feature. However, these advanced 
    options may then not be available, even though the hardware might support them.
    9. This button provides access to the same  setup windows as when printing from 
    applications. Changes made via the Wind ows Control Panel become the Windows 
    default settings.
    10. You can design and specify a separator page  that prints between documents. This is 
    particularly useful on a shared printer to  help each user find their own documents in 
    the output stack.

    In this window you can select which optional  upgrades are installed on your printer. See 
    the chapter entitled “Installing options”.
