Setting Up Options

To use installed options correctly, first set up the printer driver. If the options are not recognized, you cannot use them, even though they are physically installed. The procedure to set up a printer driver varies depending on the operating system.

Windows

If your system is Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2, changing printer driver settings requires Manage Printers permission. Members of Administrators and Power Users groups have Manage Printers permission by default. When you change printer driver settings, log on with an account that has Manage Printers permission.
If your system is Windows NT 4.0, changing printer driver settings requires Full Control access permission. Members of Administrators, Server Operators, Print Operators, and Power Users groups have Full Control permission by default. When you change printer driver settings, log on with an account that has Full Control permission.
If you are using Adobe PageMaker 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0 with Windows 95 / 98 / Me / 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2, or Windows NT 4.0, you have to set up options in the Adobe PageMaker's print dialog box.

You can set up any of the options using the following tabs:

Windows 95 / 98 / Me	[Options] on the [Accessories] tab.
Windows 2000 / XP / Vista, Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2	[Installable Options] on the [Device Settings] tab.
Windows NT 4.0	[Installable Options] on the [Device Settings] tab in the Properties dialog box.
Mac OS	For ethernet, [Chooser] on the Apple Menu. For USB, [Change Setup] from the [Printing] menu to open the Desktop printer.

To set up options, access the printer driver from Windows. You cannot set up options if you access the printer driver from an application.
