Basic
Orientation
These settings specify the paper orientation of the print job. If Rotated is
selected, the print job orientation is rotated 180 degrees.
Copies
This setting specifies the number of copies to print. For collating multiple
copies, select Collate. If Reverse is selected, the printed pages appear in
reverse order. Reverse is available when Printer default is not selected
under Destination in the Basic tab.
Duplex
These settings enable printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.
Color
This setting specifies Full color or Black & White printing. You can also
select the EcoPrint check box to make the entire image, text and graphics,
appear lighter in the printed job. If you select EcoPrint, you can save toner
by moving the Toner save level slider in the Imaging tab from the left (least
amount of toner saved) to the right (most amount of toner saved). EcoPrint
does not increase print speed.
Print Preview
This setting lets you view your document before printing.
Note: Some applications may override print settings made in the driver.
Usually the application can be set to follow the settings. In Microsoft Word
2007, ensure that Default tray in Options is set to Use printer settings.
Source and Media Types
In the Basic tab, Source specifies which tray or cassette the printer uses for a
printing job. The default is Auto source selection, which instructs the printer to
search for the media requested by the application or the printer driver. If the
selected tray or cassette empties during a print job, then the printer searches for
another source, and continues the job.
Media type instructs the printer to search for the type of paper or media that is
requested by the application or the printer driver. The choices shown may
change depending on the selection in Source. If Auto media selection is
selected, then the printer searches for another tray or cassette using the same
media.
Transparencies, labels, and envelopes must be supplied from the MP tray.
Ensure the paper is properly loaded by following the instructions outlined in the
printing system's Operation Guide.
Note: Source and Media type are separate items in the dialog box, but can
be combined using the Combine source and media type lists setting in
Compatibility Settings. If they are combined, Media type is not available on
the Basic tab. To change this setting, open Device Settings > Compatibility
Settings and clear the Combine source and media type lists selection.
Print Size and Page Size
Print size controls the output page size of the document. To use this setting,
ensure that the Page Sizes setting matches the page size setting in your
application. If the Print size is different from the page size in your application,
then each page is enlarged or reduced to match the Print size. The percentage
value shown in brackets indicates the size of the Print size setting relative to
