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.

Operation > 45 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.
