RENDERING INTENTS
When selecting the Printer Output Profile, if you select any other 
profile apart from [Auto], you can select the Rendering Intent. 
The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine 
how colours that fall outside of the printable colours are treated. 
Select the rendering intent that best suits the document you are 
printing.
PERCEPTUAL
This option is recommended for printing photographs.
Typically, perceptual rendering desaturates all the colours when 
printing. This brings unprintable colours into the printer’s range, 
whilst keeping the relationships  between the colours the same.
SATURATION
This option is recommended for printing business graphics if you 
want vivid colours. This will not necessarily produce accurate 
colour, as the emphasis is on maintaining saturation.
RELATIVE COLORIMETRIC
This option is best for printing solid colours and tints. Use Relative 
Colorimetric when printing fr om a drawing program such as 
Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand.
ABSOLUTE COLORIMETRIC
This option is recommended if you are proofing images on your 
printer that are intended for final output on a printing press. This 
may result in a visible colour cast on your print as it will also try 
to simulate the paper white of the target device.

PURE BLACK TEXT / GRAPHICS
When your document is printed, often the pure black colours will 
not be printed using 100% black toner. Instead, these pure black 
colours are sometimes converted and printed using a mixture of 
CMYK toner.
Using the Pure Black Text / Graphics feature ensures that 100% 
black text or graphics in your document is printed using pure 
black toner.
This means that the following colours in your documents will be 
printed using only 100% black toner:
RGB Red = 0, Green = 0, Blue = 0
CMYK Cyan = 0%, Yellow = 0%, Magenta = 0%, Black = 100%
COLOUR MATCH PRECISION
When the printer performs colour matching, it must do many 
calculations to convert between different colour formats (RGB, 
CMYK, etc.). These calculations can take time to process.
The [Colour Match Precision] option allows you to choose 
between higher quality colour matching (more time consuming) 
or faster but less accurate colour matching.

FINISHING OPTIONS
Your printer offers a wide selection of document finishing options 
that help you to control the final form of your printed document.
Depending on the hardware fitted, either as optional upgrades or 
included as standard and on which model you have, your system 
can offer a number of choices.
For detailed information on these options see:>“Booklet printing (imposition)” on page 87
> “Collating” on page 91
> “Colour separation” on page 95
> “Separating queued print jobs” on page 97
> “Cover print” on page 99

BOOKLET PRINTING (IMPOSITION)
Booklet printing in the Windows driv ers printing allows printing of 
multi-page documents with their pages ordered and arranged so 
that final printed output can be folded into a booklet. Typically, 
A4 pages would be reduced to A5 and printed side by side on both 
sides of A4 paper, so that the paper can be folded into a booklet.

Since this feature prints on both sides of the page, it requires a 
duplex unit to be installed in the printer, and 256MB of additional 
memory (512MB in total).
When using the PostScript driver, if you plan to print a long 
document, more than about 16 pages, consider printing it in 
sections of 8 or 16 at a time. This is called the “signature,” and 
will avoid having too thick a stack of paper to fold to make your 
booklet. Your document will then be printed in a series of 
booklets which can be stacked one above the other. This is 
usually a neater arrangement.
The above considerations do not matter when using the PCL 
driver as the signature can be set within the driver, and a long 
document can be printed directly as a series of booklets.
Note that the number of pages in a booklet is always a multiple 
of four, since two pages are printed on each side of each sheet of 
paper. If your document is not a multiple of four pages long, the 
last one, two or three pages in your folded booklet will be blank.
NOTES:
1.To find out how much memory  currently installed, print 
out a Configuration page fro m the printer control panel.
2. A few applications do not su pport booklet printing, but 
most do.
3. This feature is not availabl e in the Macintosh drivers.
4. This feature is not available  in the Windows 98 Postscript 
driver.
