What You Can Do with the PostScript 3 Driver

You can print on paper other than plain paper or recycled paper, such as thick paper and special paper.

You can specify the dimensions of the paper you want to use for printing, and print on custom size paper. You can register in the printer driver the paper sizes you frequently use.

You can shrink and combine multiple pages, and print them on a single sheet of paper. By using this function with the duplex printing function, you can reduce paper usage.

You can print on both sides of paper using a layout suitable for making booklets. Pages are placed on the left and right half side of a single sheet of paper or both sides of a single sheet of paper. You can also specify how pages are arranged from "Open to Right/Bottom" or "Open to Left/Top".

When printing on paper that has specific orientation, you can rotate images 180 degrees. You can also flip images horizontally.

When printing multiple sets of documents such as handouts for meetings, you can have prints delivered in batches of ordered sets.

You can specify various settings such as the dithering method and resolutions to adjust the appearance of the output.

• Changing the dithering pattern

  Dithering is a technique used to reproduce colors and shades that cannot be reproduced using other printing methods. It uses groups of small dots (dithering pattern) to reproduce the appearance of those colors and shades. You can adjust the characteristics of the color reproduction by changing the dithering pattern. You can select a dithering pattern suitable for the image to be printed.

• Smoothing image edges

  You can apply a smoothing process to jaggy curves to convert them into smooth curves when printing.

You can stamp text on printed pages. You can enter any stamp text or edit the preset text.

You can reduce the consumption of toner by setting the toner saving mode to mode 1 or 2. Toner lasts longer in mode 2 than in mode 1, but the prints appear lighter.
