THIS

BOOK

This book is delivered as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. It provides a

convenient on-screen reference to the many features of the

driver software supplied with your C9600.

There are many cross-references within this book, each

highlighted as blue text. When you click on a cross-reference

within Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader (also supplied on the

Manuals CD) the display will instantly jump to the part of the

manual containing the referenced material.

By using the button in Adobe Reader, you can navigate directly

back to where you were before.

If you need to print a part of this manual, use Adobe Reader’s

print command, and choose which pages you want to print. Some

pages are deliberately left blank so that the page format is

appropriate for duplex (double-sided) printing if you wish.

6 How to access the driver screens

ACCESS

THE

DRIVER

SCREENS

Most of the features described are accessed via the printer driver

screens. How you access them depends on your computer and its

operating system.

INDOWS

DRIVERS

The driver windows are tabbed dialogue boxes, offering a wide

range choices about how you want to print your documents.

There are two ways to access the driver features from within

Windows:

1. Directly from the Windows “Printers” folder (“Printers and

Faxes” folder in Windows XP).

If you choose this method any changes you make will

become the driver defaults. This means they will remain

active for all your applications unless you specifically

change them from within the application’s Print dialogue.

2. From your application’s Print dialogue.

If you choose this method any changes you make will

usually only last for as long as the particular application is

running, or until you change them again. In most cases,

once you quit the application the driver defaults will return.

IMPORTANT!

Settings made from the printer’s own control panel are

the printer defaults. They determine how your printer

will behave unless you specify otherwise from your

computer.

The driver defaults override the printer defaults.

Application Print settings override both the printer

defaults and the driver defaults.

2. On the [File] menu, choose [Print…].

3. In the application’s Print dialogue, make sure the printer

shown is the appropriate one, and click [Properties].

Macintosh

The Mac user interface is very different to that in Windows. In

particular, OS X differs considerably from previous versions. Full

instructions are therefore included with each procedure.

8 How to access the driver screens

PCL

SAVED

DRIVER

SETTINGS

This feature, unique to the Windows PCL drivers, allows you to

save the printer driver settings and reuse them later. This could

be useful if you frequently print many different types of

document that require different printer driver settings.

Recalling saved settings in the PCL drivers is a simple task that

must be done first, before any job-specific changes are made.

Rather than repeat the procedure throughout this manual, it is

described here.

AVING

SET

DRIVER

SETTINGS

1. Make any changes to the driver settings you want, as

described in the relevant section of this manual.

2. In the driver’s [Setup] tab, click [Save…].

3. Enter a meaningful name for the settings you are saving,

and click [OK].

ECALLING

SAVED

DRIVER

described in the relevant section in this manual.

Setting the driver device options 9

ETTING

THE

DRIVER

DEVICE

OPTIONS

This section explains how to ensure that your printer driver can

utilize all of the hardware features installed in your printer.

Accessories such as hard disk, duplex unit (two sided printing),

additional paper trays, etc., will only be usable if the printer

driver on your computer knows they are there.

In some cases the hardware configuration of your printer is

automatically detected when the driver is installed. However, it is

advisable to at least check whether all of the available hardware

features are listed in the driver.

This procedure is essential if you subsequently add extra

hardware features to your printer after the drivers have been

installed and set up.

INDOWS

1. Access the driver’s [Properties] window. (See “Changing

the driver defaults” on page 7.)

2. Select the [Device Options] tab.

In the Windows XP PostScript driver the tab may be called

“Device Settings”.

3. Set the options for any devices you have installed,

including the correct number of paper trays, high capacity

feeder, duplex unit, etc.

4. Click [OK] to close the window and save your changes.

OS9

There are 2 methods to configure printer hardware options,

depending on whether or not you use Desktop Printing:

> Use the desktop printer icon if you use desktop printing;

or…

> Use the Chooser if you do not use desktop printing and

print via AppleTalk.
