PRINT SETTINGS AND SECURITY Your MFP's operator panel menus 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 menus, and you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the operator panel menus. The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Other Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same. PCL OR POSTSCRIPT? Three printer drivers are supplied with your MFP: one for PCL5c emulation, one for PCL6 emulation, and the other for PostScript 3 emulation. If you print mainly from general "Office" applications choose one of the PCL drivers. For faster printing of PDF documents, choose PostScript. If you print mainly from professional DTP and graphics applications, choose PostScript. PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS Print Props Button.eps When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a print dialog box appears. This dialog usually specifies the name of the machine 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 window which opens when you click Properties depends on which printer driver has been installed. The PostScript driver offers different choices to the PCL driver. Print settings and security > 72
