PRINTING FROM WINDOWS Copying the PPD file for Windows The Client Utilities/User Documentation DVD contains a printer description file for popular Windows applications. For applications not allowing the automatic installation of PPD files, copy the PPD file to a proper directory in order to enable printer-specific settings in the [Print] dialog box or the [Page] Setup dialog box. Printing From Application 1 This section describes how to print a document from application.  P.24 "Considerations and limitations"  P.24 "How to print" Considerations and limitations 2 • When the User Management setting is enabled, it is used to manage a print job instead of the Department Code Management setting. In this case, a user name that has been entered to log in to your computer is used for the authentication of the print job. Therefore, you do not need to set your department code to the printer driver but you must register your user name in advance. If your user name is not registered, the print job is processed as an invalid one according to the User Authentication 3 Enforcement setting. Also if a print job is sent in RAW format, it is processed according to the RAW Print Job setting. For more information about the User Authentication Enforcement setting or the RAW Print Job setting, refer to the TopAccess Guide. When the Windows Domain Authentication is used for the User Management Setting, your computer must log in the domain. 4 • If the No Limit Black function is enabled, you do not have to specify the department code when you print a document selecting [Black and White] in the [Color] option in the [Basic] tab of printer driver. • Some print options can be set from both the application and the printer driver, such as collation. If the collation is set from the application, documents may not be properly printed. If that happens, use the printer driver to set the collation. Depending on the application, some print options 5 such as the orientation need to be set from the application. For print options that can be set from both the application and the driver, refer to the manual of the application.
