Accessing the Printer Properties Dialog Box
The printer properties dialog box of the printer driver contains many settings that enable you to set up and control your printer. The available settings vary depending on how you access the printer properties dialog box. To access the printer properties dialog box, follow the procedure below for your version of Windows.

Windows 98/Me

If you access the printer properties dialog box from application software, the specified settings are available for the current print job. If you access the printer properties dialog box from the [Printers] folder, you can set up the printer configuration or specify the default printer driver settings for every print job.
Accessing the Printer Properties Dialog Box from Application Software
In the application software, select [Print] to display the [Print] dialog box.
Select your printer name from the drop-down list box click [Properties].
Accessing the Printer Properties Dialog Box from the Printers Folder
On the [Start] menu, point to [Settings] click [Printers]. In the [Printers] folder, right-click the printer icon for your printer click [Properties].
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003
You can access the printer properties dialog box and the printing preferences dialog box in Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. In the printer properties dialog box and the printing preferences dialog box, you can specify the printer driver settings and set up the printer configuration.

From the printer properties dialog box, click the [Finishing] tab.
Select [2-sided Printing] from [Print Style]. Select the required binding edge for the paper printout from [Binding Location].
If the [Binding Location] option is selected, the document and margins are positioned correctly on the pages for two-sided printing.

If you do not set the gutter width, proceed to step 5.
Click [OK] in the [Finishing] sheet.
Specifying the Finishing Options
This section describes how to select a finishing option and how to use Booklet Printing.
Selecting a Finishing Option
The various options in the [Finishing] sheet enable you to select the most appropriate tray output method for each document.
Selecting the Output Option
The available output options are:
Collate Group Staple & Collate Staple & Group Outputs sorted copies of the document in correct binding order into the output tray. Outputs document pages in groups into the output tray. Outputs sorted and stapled copies of the document into the output tray. Outputs document pages in stapled batches into the output tray.
The available finishing options vary, depending on the printer model you use or output options attached to the printer. If you print multiple sets of documents using the Collate option for the FAX-L2000 series, installation of optional memory (for a total of 32 MB or more) is recommended for proper spooling to ensure that all sets of the documents are printed out. When a collate option is available in the [Print] dialog box of the application software, the Collate option setting of the printer driver has priority, regardless of the same setting in the application software. However, in some application software, output is collated when the collate option is selected in the application software even if the Collate option is not selected in the printer driver. To output document pages using the Group option, you must select [Group] in the printer driver, regardless of a group option setting in the [Print] dialog box of the application software.
Specify the number of copies to print in [Copies].
Click the [Finishing] tab.
Select a finishing option, such as [Collate], [Group], [Staple & Collate], or [Staple & Group], under [Finishing]. If you selected [Staple & Collate] or [Staple & Group], click [Staple Position] specify the position to staple in the [Staple Position] dialog box click [OK].

If the sequence number of the tab paper differs from that of the insertion positions, ascending sequence is applied after clicking [Done]. The available range for the insertion position is from pages 1 to 999.
Specify the width to shift the image to be printed on the tab part of the paper in [Shifting Width].
You can change the unit used to specify the shift width (millimeters or inches).

About the Color and Grayscale Settings
In the [Quality] sheet, selecting either [Color] or [Black and White] from [Color Mode] sets the desired color or grayscale settings for printing documents. To make the detailed color or grayscale settings, you can use the [Color Settings] or [Grayscale Settings] dialog box, containing the [Color Adjustment] or [Grayscale Adjustment], and [Matching] sheets. The [Color Adjustment] or [Grayscale Adjustment] sheet enables you to specify the color intensity (for color printers), brightness, and contrast settings affecting a printed document. Use the grid on the right part of the sheet to make an adjustment. A default original image and an adjusted preview image are displayed on the left part of the sheet.

Canon Port Setting Tool

The Canon Port Setting Tool enables you to correspond the device driver installed in your computer with the network address for the device. If you cannot set up the printer configuration automatically or use the Job Accounting feature properly when you are using SMB (Server Message Block) or NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services), you need to specify the port using the Canon Port Setting Tool.
In Windows Explorer, double-click the following folders: [Program Files] [Canon] [Portset]. In the [Portset] folder, double-click the [Portset.exe] icon to start the Canon Port Setting Tool.
The Canon Port Setting Tool is installed if you install the printer driver using the Installer. For more information on how to use the Canon Port Setting Tool, see the Online Help. To display the Online Help, start the Canon Port Setting Tool click [Help].
Device Status Extension (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003)
If you use a shared printer in Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, you can browse information on the shared printer and manage print jobs through a web browser. Installing the Device Status Extension in Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 enables you to browse detailed information on printers supporting the Device Status Extension. The Device Status Extension also enables you to start NetSpot Console from the [Device Status Extension] window to set up printers. NetSpot Console is software which monitors job status and devices connected to the network. NOTE
