Drivers and Settings

The driver interface is easy to work with. The main window allows you to choose the media format and type as well as to select the print media source. The settings can be saved in a profile and used later as necessary.

Printing quality settings can be found on the Final Processing tab. Two resolutions are available: 600dpi and 1200dpi. You can turn on the Toner Save mode or print colored text as a solid black color rather than as shades of gray.

On this tab you can also indicate the number of pages to be printed on a single sheet of paper or turn the pages upside down and print on both sides of a sheet. Printing a booklet is yet another interesting option that outputs pages in “centrally symmetric” order. For example, if your booklet consists of four pages, the first and fourth pages will be printed on the first sheet of paper, and the second and third pages on the second sheet.
