The explanations assume that the paper size and other basic settings have already been selected. For the basic 
procedure for printing and the steps for opening the printer driver properties window, see the following section:
☞Windows: BASIC PRINTING PROCEDURE (page 3-4)
☞Macintosh: BASIC PRINTING PROCEDURE (page 3-16)
SELECTING THE COLOR MODE
This section explains how to select the color mode in the printer driver properties window. The following three selections 
are available for the color mode:
Automatic: The machine automatically determines whether each page is color or black and white and prints the 
page accordingly. Pages with colors other than black and white are printed using Y (Yellow), M 
(Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner. Pages that are only black and white are printed using Bk 
(Black) toner only. This is convenient when printing a document that has both color and black and 
white pages, however, the printing speed is slower.
Color: All pages are printed in color. Both color data and black and white data are printed using Y (Yellow), M 
(Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner.
Black and White: All pages are printed in black and white. Color data such as images or materials for a presentation are 
printed using black toner only. This mode helps conserve color toner when you do not need to print in 
color, such as when proofreading or checking the layout of a document.
(1) Click the [Color] tab.
(2) Select the Color Mode that you wish to 
use.

FITTING THE PRINT IMAGE TO THE PAPER
This function is used to automatically enlarge or reduce the printed image to match the size of the paper loaded in the 
machine.
This is convenient for such purposes as enlarging a letter or A4 size document to ledger or A3 size to make it easier to 
view, and to print when the same size of paper as the document image is not loaded in the machine.
The following example explains how to print a letter size document on ledger size paper.
(1) Click the [Paper] tab.
(2) Select the size of the print image (for 
example: Letter).
(3) Select [Fit To Paper Size].
(4) Select the actual paper size to be used for 
printing (for example: Ledger).
(This function can only be used in Mac OS X v10.4.11 and v10.5 to 10.5.1.)
(1) Select [Paper Handling].
(2) Check the size of the print image (for 
example: Letter).
To change the print image size, use the Paper Size 
menu that appears when [Page Setup] is selected.
(3) Select [Scale to fit paper size].
(4) Select the actual paper size to be used for 
printing (for example: Ledger).

PRINTING MULTIPLE PAGES ON ONE PAGE
This function can be used to reduce the print image and print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper.
This is convenient when you want to print multiple images such as photos on a single sheet of paper, and when you 
want to conserve paper. This function can also be used in combination with two-sided printing for maximum 
conservation of paper.
For example, when [2-Up] (2 pages per sheet) and [4-Up] (4 pages per sheet) are selected, the following print results will 
be obtained, depending on the order selected.

sheet)Print results

 The page orders for 6-Up, 8-Up, 9-Up, and 16-Up are the same as for 4-Up.
 In a Windows environment, the page order can be viewed in the print image in the printer driver properties window.
In a Macintosh environment, the page orders are displayed as selections.
 In a Macintosh environment, the number of pages that can be printed on a single sheet is 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16.
