Printing a Document

Once you have installed the software, you are ready to print a document, from any Windows application that supports printing, such as Word for Windows. Predefined printer settings are initially installed, enabling you to print immediately. These settings determine what your documents look like when printed. For example, they define such settings as the paper size and page orientation. Instructions for printing a document can vary somewhat for different Windows applications. Therefore, for detailed instructions, see the user documentation for the specific application from which you are printing. The following instructions summarize the general procedures for printing a document. To print a document: 1. With your document open, click the command to print your document. (In most Windows applications, the Print command is on the File menu or toolbar.) 2. 3. In the Print dialog box, make sure the printer is selected under Printer (Windows 98/Me) or Select Printer (Windows 2000/XP). Click the command to print your document (usually OK or Print).

Defining Print Settings: an Overview
Print settings determine how your document looks when it is printed. Although predefined print settings are initially installed with the software, you may want to change these settings for certain documents. Print settings can be changed to suit the type of document you are printing. For example, if you regularly print draft copies of reports, you can define print settings to suit your printing requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions 4-5
Are you unable to print to a shared printer? If you are using a client system that is set up to use a shared printer, yet you are unable to print to the shared printer, check the following: That the server system, to which the printer is connected, is turned on That the server system has set the printer to be shared That the server system is set to allow your system access to the shared printer.
Paper Is Not Loading Correctly.
Does paper not load into the printer?
The multi-purpose tray might contain too many sheets or paper might not be inserted all the way into the multi-purpose tray. Does paper not feed through one sheet at a time? Be sure to fan the stack of paper before placing it in the multi-purpose tray. Is an envelope not loading correctly? Make sure you do not stack more than 7 envelopes in the multi-purpose tray.
The Print Quality Is Not Satisfactory.
Is some of the document content not printing?
If some of the document content is not printing, check that the printer cable is securely plugged in at both ends. Make sure your cable does not exceed 16.4 feet (5 meters). Check your applications print setup to make sure your printer is selected.
4-6 Frequently Asked Questions
Does some of the document content not fit on the page? Make sure paper is aligned correctly in the multi-purpose tray. Check that margins and paper size are set correctly in your printing application. Also, check that the scaling is set appropriately in the printer driver settings. The scaling may be set to enlarge the document page to a size that is too large for the paper.
Is printing not clear? Check the print resolution. A higher resolution prints more clearly.
Do fonts not print smoothly? Bitmapped fonts designed for dot matrix printers will not look smooth when printed by your high-resolution printer. Choose another font. Make sure you install an outline font manager such as Adobe Type Manager or Bitstream Facelift, or that you choose a TrueType font.
Is the printing not dark enough?
Check the print settings, such as the print resolution, brightness, contrast, and toner saver. Try replacing the toner cartridge. Did a toner low warning appear while printing? If you want to continue printing your document, even though you are low on toner, change the TONER SUPPLY LOW setting on the printer from RX TO MEMORY to KEEP PRINTING. (Even if the toner cartridge is out of toner, the document will not be stored in memory.) Do vertical white streaks appear? Vertical white streaks may appear when the error message REPLACE CARTRIDGE is displayed. This situation indicates that the toner level is low or that the toner is unevenly distributed in the cartridge. To resolve the situation, open the printer cover and remove the toner cartridge. Gently rock the cartridge from side to side five or six times to evenly distribute the toner inside. Replace the cartridge in the printer, and close the printer cover. If redistributing the toner does not resolve the situation, replace your cartridge.
