Converts the Windows character set to the specified code-page character set for printing. The escape codes for the specified code-page character set cannot be modified.


Click this to control color and grayscale depth. For fastest printing, click 8 Color; for business graphics, click 256 Color; for photographic images, click True.

Print speed and image quality are directly related. The higher the color depth you choose, the longer it takes to print your document.


Specifies the format in which to store printing information on your disk while a print job is waiting to be printed. Generally, EMF (metafile) format frees up your program faster because it is smaller and doesn’t depend on what kind of printing device you have. RAW format is specific to the printing device, so extra time may be required to convert the printing information, and your program would not be available for working on other tasks.

If you have problems printing using EMF, try RAW.


Specifies an image-control mechanism specific to the printing device. For more information, see your printing-device manual.


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


Specifies which output bin to use for your printed document.


Controls how much ink is used to print a dot on the page. With a bigger dot, the printout is denser.


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


Click this to speed the printing of documents containing horizontal and vertical lines. If your printer supports the option, documents are scanned for rules by default.


Click this if your document has overlapping text and graphics. Using a device font or a downloaded TrueType font when text and graphics overlap may result in wrong output.


Specifies the text quality you want to use for your printed document. The choices available vary depending on your printing-device make and model.


Specifies color or monochrome output.


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 Automatically Select Correct Tray, ensure that the correct form is assigned to the paper source.


Specifies duplex printing. Select None to print on only one side of the paper. 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 to specify the form.

A form defines a paper size and the widths of margins. Many printing devices support more than one paper source, such as upper and lower trays. You can assign forms to any of your printing-device paper sources. Once a form is matched to a source, you can select the form when you print from your applications. The Windows NT operating system instructs the printing device to print from the source that is matched with that form.


Click this to view or change halftone-color adjustments.


Determines 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 the font cartridges installed in your printing device.

Specifies the amount of memory installed in your printing device.


Specifies that the printing device should create the printed page in memory before printing. This ensures that the printer is able to print complex pages completely.


Specifies the paper source. If you choose a paper source other that Printing Folder Setting, click the Advanced tab, and verify that the correct form is assigned to the paper source.
