Understanding smart software features The printer driver provides the following smart software features. To access the printer driver, see Printing a document on page 49. NOTE: Some features are only available in Windows. To find more information on a specific feature in the Windows printer driver, right-click the feature and select What's This? You can access some of these features from the Printing Shortcuts tab. Open the printer driver, select the Printing Shortcuts tab, and select the feature from the What do you want to do? dropdown list. ● Borderless Printing: Use the entire page surface when printing photos and cards using the borderless printing feature. See Printing borderless on page 44. ● Resizing Options: Enlarge or reduce the size of your documents with virtually no loss in print quality or resolution. On the Effects tab, select the Print Document On check box, and then select the desired document size, followed by the Scale to Fit check box. You can also select Center On Page to center your document on the printed page. Alternatively, you can use the % of Normal Size scroll bar to adjust the document size. You can zoom from 25 to 400% of the original document size, but page content may get truncated at times. ● Two-sided printing: Print on both sides of the paper to create professional looking brochures and catalogs. See Printing on both sides (duplexing) on page 66. ● Minimize Margins: Print closer to the bottom edge of the page. On the Advanced tab, select Minimize Margins, and then reduce the document margins by adjusting the page setup settings in the application being used. ● HP Digital Photography: Improve the quality of your printed photographs. The Full setting should be used for high-resolution images (600 dpi or higher) printed on photo-quality paper. On the Features tab, select Full from the Photo fix drop-down list after you have selected a photo media. ● Booklet Layout: Produce booklets without worrying about pagination. All you need to do is fold the pages and bind them into a booklet. You can choose to bind the booklet on the left or right side by selecting left or right edge binding. See Printing booklets on page 60. ● Pages per Sheet: Arrange up to 16 pages on a single sheet of paper to reduce printing costs. You can arrange the order of the layout. See Printing multiple pages on a single sheet of paper on page 59. ● Tiling or poster printing: Take a one-page document and enlarge it up to five times (5 x 5) for documents up to A3+ (13 x 19 inch) size. The enlarged document can be printed on several sheets and assembled to form a large billboard. See Printing posters on page 62. ● Mirror Image: Flip a page horizontally. This lets you write on the underside of a transparency film, leaving the top side available for annotations with marker pens. The Mirror Image option is located on the Advanced tab. ● Banner printing: Print large images and bold, oversized fonts on continuous feeds of paper. See Printing banners on page 63. ● Print in Grayscale: Both black-and-white and color documents can be converted to grayscale. For Windows, on the Color tab, select the Print in Grayscale check box. For Macintosh, on the Paper tab and under the Color drop-down list, select Grayscale. 40 Chapter 4 Printing and loading media ENWW
