then select the printer. Click Options & Supplies > Options (or Driver).
2. Make the appropriate settings, and then click OK.
❏ Thick paper and envelopes: Prevents the ink from smearing when printing on thick paper. However, the
print speed may be slower.
❏ Skip Blank Page: Avoids printing blank pages.
❏ Quiet Mode: Prints quietly. However, the print speed may be slower.
❏ Permit temporary black printing: Prints only with black ink temporarily.
❏ High Speed Printing: Prints when the print head moves in both directions. The print speed is faster, but the
quality may decline.
❏ Warning Notifications: Allows the printer driver to display warning notifications.
❏ Establish bidirectional communication: Usually, this should be set to On. Select Off when acquiring the
printer information is impossible because the printer is shared with Windows computers on a network or

❏ Lower Cassette: Add the optional paper cassette units to the paper source.
