Oki B4300 Guide: User's B4200/B4300 - Page 50

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 both printer models. PS emulation is available as on option on the B4300 model. PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS 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. 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. OPERATION > 50
