The following settings are available: ● Quickset name allows you to name the quickset you are working with. ● Output scale allows you to resize the print in two different ways: to a percentage of its original size, or to fit a particular paper size. The default is 100% (its original size). ● Print quality allows you to set the print quality to Fast, Normal, or Best. ● Color options allows you to choose color or grayscale. ● Paper source allows you to specify printing on roll 1 or roll 2, or you can choose Save paper, which automatically chooses the narrowest roll on which the print will fit (if two rolls are loaded). ● Paper category allows you to choose the type of paper. ● Page order allows you to choose first page on top, or last page on top. ● Collate allows you to turn collation on or off. ● Rotation allows you to rotate the print by any multiple of 90°, or you can choose Automatic, which rotates the print automatically if that will save paper. ● Alignment allows you to align the printer to the left, center, or right of the roll. ● Printer margins allows you to change the default printer margins. ● Storage mode offers two options, print and delete (the job is not retained in the job queue) and print and store (the job is retained in the job queue). 5. When you are satisfied with the quickset settings, tap OK to continue. 6. A page with the following settings appears: Copies, Page order, and Collate. You can check and change them in this step, regardless of the settings in the quickset. Tap Print to continue. 7. After printing, you can choose to print another file or go to the job queue. If you print another file immediately without returning to the home page, the temporary settings used for the previous file are used again. Print from a computer using a printer driver This is the traditional way of printing from a computer. The correct printer driver must be installed on the computer (see Install your printer under Windows on page 16 or Install your printer under macOS on page 17), and the computer must be connected to the printer. When the printer driver has been installed and the computer is connected to the printer, you can print from a software application by using the application's own Print command and selecting the correct printer. Advanced print settings The rest of this chapter explains the various print settings that you can use when printing with a printer driver or the front panel. These methods offer a relatively large number of settings in order to satisfy all requirements. TIP: In general you are recommended to use the default settings unless you know that they do not meet your requirements. TIP: If you intend to reuse a particular group of settings repeatedly, you can save those settings under a name of your own choice and recall them later. A saved group of settings is known as a 'quick set' in the Windows printer driver, and as a 'preset' in the macOS printer driver. ENWW Print from a computer using a printer driver 61
