Printer drivers

Using the PCL printer-driver Help (Windows only)

When you are in the printer driver, you can use its Help, which is separate from the Help in a
program. You can activate Help for the printer driver in two ways.

Click the Help button anywhere it appears in the printer driver. The Help windows give
detailed information about the specific printer driver in use.

When you see a

(bubble icon), click it to view information about the field, option, or

button that the bubble adjoins.

Selecting a source

You can print by source (tray) or by type or size. To print by source, follow these steps. For
Macintosh operating systems, types and sizes are grouped together under the Paper
Source
pop-up menu.

Windows: In the Print dialog box in your software program, select the Source (tray), if
possible. Otherwise, select a tray from the Source is field from the Paper tab in your
printer driver.

Mac OS 9.2.2: In the Print dialog box, select a tray on the Paper Source pop-up menu
on the General pop-up menu.

Mac OS 10.2 or 10.3: From the Print dialog box, select the tray or type of media on the
Paper Feed pop-up menu.

Selecting a type or size

You can print by source (tray) or by type or size. If you are printing on special print media,
such as heavy paper, it is important to print by type to achieve good results. To print by type
or size, follow these steps. For Macintosh operating systems, types and sizes are all
grouped together under the Paper Source pop-up menu.

Windows: In the printer driver, select a type in the Type is field of the Paper tab. Or,
select a size from the Size is field. For some paper, such as letterhead, you select both
a type and size.

Mac OS 9.2.2: In the Print dialog box, select a type on the Paper Source pop-up menu
on the General pull-up menu.

Mac OS 10.2 or 10.3: In the Print dialog box, select the tray or type of media on the
Paper Feed pull-up menu.
