PRINTING FROM WINDOWS
Your printer’s menus provide access to many options. See “Using 
the printer software” on page 83  for more information.
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 menus, and you print documents from Windows, the 
settings in the Windows printer driv er will override those items in 
the menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show the C3400n printer in 
Windows XP/2000. However, the options shown for the C3400n 
are the same when using the C3300 model. Other Windows 
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the 
same.
PRINTER DRIVER SETTINGS
A printer driver is a software program that controls a printer. The 
printer driver feeds data about printing requirements for a 
document to the printer.
You can make printer driver settings either from Windows 
Printers  window (called “Printers and Faxes” in Windows XP) or 
from within a Windows applicatio n. The driver settings you make 
from the Windows “Printing Preferences” dialog box are 
essentially default settings and will be remembered from one 
Windows session to the next. The driver settings you make from 
within a Windows application, e.g.  in the File -> Print dialog box 
in Microsoft Word, are those required for a particular job and will 
not be remembered the next time  you open this application. In 
both cases, you can save and name (on the Setup tab) specific 
sets of driver settings which can be recalled for future use.

PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your document from a Windows 
application program a Print dialog box appears. This dialog 
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.

SETUP TAB
When you click the Properties button from your application’s 
Print dialog, the driver window opens to allow you to specify your 
printing preferences for the current document.
1. Paper size should be the same as the page size of your 
document (unless you wish to scale the printout to fit 
another size), and should also be the same as the size of 
paper you will feed into the printer.
2. You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which 
may be Tray 1 (the Cassette Tray) or the Multi Purpose 
Tray. You can either select the tray from the dropdown list 
or you can click on the appropriate part of the printer 
graphic to select your preferred tray.
3. The setting for paper weight  should match the type of 
paper on which you intend to print. 
4. Click on the  Paper Feed Options  button to modify your 
document to fit to paper of a  different size and to access 
advanced Cassette Tray and Multi Purpose tray settings.

5.A variety of document finishing options can be selected, 
such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can 
be a maximum of 16) for printing scaled down pages at 
more than one page per sheet.
Select the Poster printing option to print large pages as 
tiles spread over multiple sheets.
6. You can choose to print on one side of a sheet only or to 
use 2-sided printing (duplex pr inting). Your printer allows 
you to carry out manual duplex printing, meaning you 
must pass the paper through the printer twice. For more 
information, see  “2-sided printing (Windows only)” on 
page 66 . The Duplex Help  button also offers guidelines 
on how to carry out manual duplex printing.
7. If you have changed some printing preferences before and 
saved them as a set under a specific name, you can recall 
them under driver settings. Saving driver settings means 
that you can avoid having to set printing preferences 
individually each time you need them.
8. Click the  Default button to restore the default printer 
settings.
