Standard Printing

Use the following procedure to print documents using the normal printing function with the printer driver.

Before printing, make sure that the settings for the installed options and loaded paper are correctly configured.

For the PCL 6 printer driver:

After creating a document, open the Printing Preferences dialog box in the document's native application.
The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.
Click the [One Click Presets] tab, if it is not already selected.
In the [Job type:] list, select [Normal Print].
If you want to print multiple copies, specify a number of sets in the [Copies:] box.
In the [Document Size:] list, select the size of the original to be printed.
In the [Orientation:] list, select [Portrait] or [Landscape] as the orientation of the original.
In the [Input Tray] list, select the paper tray that contains the paper you want to print onto.
If you select [Auto Tray Select] in the [Input Tray] list, the source tray is automatically selected according to the paper size and type specified.
In the [Paper type:] list, select the type of paper that is loaded in the paper tray.
To save current setting in the One Click Preset List, click [Register Current Settings...]. Enter a name and comment that describe the setting, and then click [OK].
The newly registered icon appears in the [One Click Preset List:] area.
Click [OK] to close the printer preferences dialog box.
Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.

The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.
In the [Job type:] list, select [Normal Print].
If you want to print multiple copies, specify a number of sets in the [Copies:] box.
In the [Orientation:] list, select [Portrait] or [Landscape] as the orientation of the original.
Click the [Paper] tab.

Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.

The types of paper loaded in the paper trays are indicated on the printer's display. This allows you to see which tray the selected paper type is loaded in. However, the paper type setting available in the printing preference dialog box might be different from the type indicated on the printer's display.
If the paper tray loaded with the specified paper size and type is not available, a warning message appears on the machine's control panel. If this happens, follow the instructions in the message to specify a paper tray and perform force printing. Alternatively, press the job reset button to cancel printing. For details, see "If Error Occurs with the specified Paper Size and Type".
