Specifies how the document is positioned on the page. Portrait orients the paper vertically. Landscape rotates the paper 90 degrees clockwise. If available, Rotated Landscape rotates the paper 90 degrees counter-clockwise.


Specifies whether to reduce or enlarge documents, and by what percentage. When you enlarge a document, only the portion of the document that fits on the page will print.


Specifies the number of copies to print and, if your printer supports it, whether or not to collate the copies. When collated, pages print consecutively for each copy of the document. When not collated, copies of each page print together.


Specifies the paper source. If you choose a paper source other than Printer Folder Setting, ensure that the correct form is assigned to the paper source.


Specifies the print resolution. Higher resolutions produce graphic images that are sharper and show finer detail.


Specifies color or grayscale output.


Specifies duplex printing. Click None to print on one side of the paper only. Click Short Side or Long Side to print on both sides of the paper. Short Side prints pages that read by flipping over like a notepad. Long Side prints pages that read by turning like a book.


Click this if your document has overlapping text and graphics. If you use a device font or a downloaded TrueType font when text and graphics overlap, you get output errors.


Click this to specify the paper size (form). The list of available forms matches those supported by the printing device.


Specifies how you want your color images created to produce the best-looking image on the printed page. If you are printing a chart or using fully saturated, bright colors, it’s best to click Saturation. For photographs or pictures where the colors blend together, click Contrast.

If your document uses a color that you need to match exactly and you are sending the document to a printer that has that specific color of ink, click Colormetric.


Specifies how to print color graphics. If you choose Print Color With Image Color Matching, calculations will be performed before your document is printed, to make the colors on the printed page more closely match the colors on your screen. This may make printing slower.

To print in grayscale, click Print In Black And White Only, and then click OK; then make sure that Dithering is turned on. If you don’t use dithering, the graphic prints in only black and white.

If you print in color and your graphics uses any colors that are not directly supported by your printing device, click Dithering and then select an option under Change ‘Dithering’ Setting. Dithering blends your printing device colors to produce the color specified in the graphic.


Specifies the type of printing medium you want to use. Do not click Transparency when printing on regular paper. This may waste ink and cause smearing.


Specifies the type of dithering used in printing. For color printing, dithering blends pure colors into patterns that simulate a wider range of colors. For example, orange is produced by blending red and yellow. For non-color printing, dithering produces gray shading in graphics.

Click None if you don’t want any dithering.

Click Fine if your resolution setting is 200 dpi or less.

Click Coarse if your resolution setting is 300 dpi or higher.
