Printing on different paper for the first page

Printing on different paper for the first page is useful if, for example, you are printing a letter
that uses letterhead on the first page and plain sheets for the subsequent pages. The size
for all pages of the print job must be the same in the printer driver.

Windows: Try to set this setting from one of these locations, in this order: the Page
Setup
dialog box in the program, the Print dialog box in the program, or the Paper tab
in the printer driver.

Mac OS 9.x: On the General pop-up menu in the Print dialog box, select the First Page
from
option. Then, select the source for the first page.

Mac OS X: On the Paper Feed pop-up menu in the Print dialog box, select the First
Page from
option. Then, select the source for the first page.

Changing the print quality

The printer driver automatically chooses settings for your document to optimize the quality of
the output. However, you can change these advanced settings, such as raster compression
or scale patterns (WYSIWIG).

Windows: Gain access to the Print Quality settings by clicking Details on the Finishing
tab.

Mac OS: This feature is not supported.

Restoring the default printer-driver settings

You can return all settings in the printer driver to their default values. This feature might be
useful if you are experiencing quality issues, or if the print media is not being selected from
the correct tray.

Windows: Select Defaults in the Quick Sets dialog box on the Finishing tab of the
printer driver.

Mac OS 9.x: Drag the desktop printer icon to the Trash, and then set up the printer.

Mac OS X: The Standard option contains the default settings and is automatically
selected each time you open a program.
