11. Choose Use Print Manager to enable print spooling.
This option allows your documents to print in the background. Back-
ground printing is useful when printing large or multiple documents.
Background printing will cause documents to print more slowly.
Setting Windows 3.1 printing options
The printing option settings in the Printers control panel’s Setup, Op-
tions…, and Advanced Options… dialog boxes are used as defaults by all
Windows applications. The settings chosen in the control panel should
reflect your “normal” printing jobs, in terms of paper size, orientation,
scaling, resolution, etc.. Any of these option can be overridden at print time
from within an application’s Print Setup and Print dialog boxes.
To select print options:
1. Click Setup in the “Printers” dialog box.
The Setup dialog box appears.
Paper Source
The Paper Source drop-down box provides options that allow you to
specify how paper will be provided to the printer. The menu includes the
four standard sources – Auto Select, Tray 1, Manual Feed, and MPFeeder
(multipurpose feeder) – plus selections for Tray 2 and (for the Elite XL 16
ppm models) a Tray 3; these selections will have no effect if you do not
have the appropriate optional sheet feeder(s) installed. See Appendix I for
information about the Elite XL sheet feeder options.
Selecting :
• Auto Select causes paper to be drawn from the tray (in the case of
multiple trays) that contains the paper size selected in the Paper
option of the Page Setup dialog box. If no optional trays are
installed, Auto Select has no effect and paper will be drawn from
Standard tray.
• Tray 1 causes paper to be drawn from the Elite XL’s “main” tray.
