RINTER DRIVERS This chapter describes how to install a printer driver on two types of operating system – Windows and Macintosh. The printer drivers are all contained on the printer driver DVD. Please refer to the readme file on this DVD for the latest information on printer driver installation. INDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS With Windows running, insert the printer driver DVD into your DVD-ROM drive.
PERATION This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your printer from either a Windows or a Macintosh environment. In the former, while PCL emulation is available on all printer models, PS emulation is optional on the e-STUDIO382P model. RINTER SETTINGS IN INDOWS NOTE...
EMULATION The tabs available are the Setup Tab, the Job Options Tab and the Image Tab. Setup tab Paper size should be the same as the page size of your document (unless you wish to scale the printout to fit another size), and should also be the same as the size of paper you will feed into the printer.
Page 42
Job options tab The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows. > The ProQ1200 setting for e-STUDIO332P prints at 2400 x 600dpi. This setting requires the most printer memory and takes the longest to print. Your printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery.
Page 43
Your printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery, within a range of 25% to 400% of the original size. A single on-screen button restores the default settings. Image tab Dithering produces an intermediate grayscale by adjusting the combination of dots used in printing.
EMULATION The tabs available are the Layout Tab, the Paper/Quality Tab and the Job Options Tab. Layout tab My Printer Printing Preferences Page orientation can be set to portrait (tall), landscape (wide) or landscape rotated by 180 degrees. Print on both sides (duplex printing) can be set to long edge or short edge of the document.
Page 45
Select the required printed paper size. You can substitute another font for TrueType Font. You can set other document options as required, including PostScript options and printer features. Paper/Quality tab You can set the paper source or leave it as automatic selection and by using the Advanced button you have access to the same set of options as described above for the Layout Tab.
You can print watermark text behind the main page image. This is useful for marking documents as draft, confidential, etc. If you would like to print on special stationery, such as forms and letterhead, but do not want to use pre-printed stationery, you can create your own using Overlays (for e-STUDIO382P).
Page 47
This button prints a test page to ensure that your printer is working. NOTE The above features are provided by the Windows XP operating system and will vary with other operating systems. Advanced tab You can specify which times of day your printer will be available. Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest).
Page 48
this option if you want to maximise printer efficiency. When this option is disabled the spooler chooses documents based only on their priority settings. Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents after they are completed. This allows documents to be re submitted to the printer from the spooler instead of printing again from the application program.
PS emulation The main tabs are the General Tab, Advanced Tab and Device Settings Tab. The General and Advanced tabs are the same as for PCL emulation described earlier. Device settings tab You can set the desired paper sizes in each of the available paper feed trays. You can make a variety of font settings depending on your application.
SIDED PRINTING The duplex unit adds the function of two-sided printing, using less paper and making large documents easier to handle. It also enables booklet printing, which uses even less paper. You can print using Auto Duplex or Manual Duplex function. NOTE The steps in the process relate to Windows XP PCL.
Page 51
In the 2-sided printing drop down menu, select either Long Edge (Manual) or Short Edge (Manual) according to your printing preferences. If you require further information, click the Duplex Help button. Then, Click the Print button. Every second page (1) of your document is printed first. When this is complete, a message appears on screen prompting you to take the paper, flip it and replace it in the Paper Tray.
Take the printed paper from the Output Stacker (3) and place it in the Paper Tray, ensuring that the printed side is facing up and the bottom of the page facing into the printer (4). Close the Paper Tray and press the Online (5) button. The message window should disappear from your screen and the document finishes printing the remaining pages of your document.
Page 53
When every second page has printed, take the paper from the output stacker. Set the paper one page at a time in the Manual Feed Tray with the printed side facing down and the top of the page facing into the printer. Ensure that the paper is gripped in place.
VERLAYS AND ACROS HAT ARE OVERLAYS AND MACROS If you would like to print on special stationery, such as forms and letterhead, but do not want to use pre-printed stationery, you can create your own using these advanced features. You can use PostScript overlays to generate all your special stationery and store it in the printer for use whenever you need it.
REATE AND DOWNLOAD THE PROJECT From the Windows Start menu, start Storage Device Manager (SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer. Choose Projects > New Project. Choose Projects > Add File to Project. Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files(*.prn). Navigate to the folder where the.PRN files are stored and select one or more of these to include in your overlay set.
In the Define Overlays window, enter a suitable name (2) for this overlay and choose which page(s) (3) of your documents will use this overlay. Enter the name of the overlay file (4) exactly as it appeared in the Storage Device Manager project window. Remember that this name is case sensitive.
PCL O REATING VERLAYS Three steps are required to create an overlay: Create the form data using your own application software and print it to a printer (.PRN) file. Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied on DVD with your printer to create a “project file,”...
If you wish to edit the names or ID numbers, double-click the file entry and edit the details. Note that the names are case sensitive. Choose Projects > Save Project and enter a meaningful name (e.g. “Letter Stationery”) so that you can recognise it. Choose Projects >...
