OPERATION
This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your printer from 
either a Windows or a Macintosh environment. In the Windows 
environment, PCL emulation is available on the B4250, B4350 and 
B4350n printer models. PS is available as on option an the B4350 and 
B4350n models. 
PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS
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.
PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS 
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.
