SECTION 3

OPERATING THE ASTROJET M1

Printer Driver Properties

The Printer Driver for the AstroJet M1 works the same as any other Printer Driver for Windows. It does

have some enhancements to help you maximize the ability of the Printer to print variable addressed pieces

quickly and efficiently.

Windows XP, Vista: Once the job is set up, click

File, then Print. The window on the right will

open. Make sure the M Series Driver is the

selected Printer. Clicking on Properties opens the

“Properties” window.

Windows 7: Once the job is set up, click Print.

Make sure the M Series Driver is the selected

Printer. The window at right will open. Clicking

on Properties opens the “Properties” window.

General Tab

The General tab lets you select:

 Orientation – Portrait (Default), Landscape,

Rotate 180° and Mirrored.

 Page Buffering – Allows the entire print job to

load before printing starts.

 Copies – Lets you choose the number of copies

to be printed.

 Media – Allows you to choose a different size paper than the document was originally designed

for. The document is automatically resized to fit the new media. 21 sizes are available. You can

also create and save a Custom Size to suit your needs. NOTE: Do not exceed maximum paper

size for the Printer.

 Print Quality – Select Normal or Best. Normal is 1600 x 800 dpi, checking the Half Speed box

slows printing for higher quality on glossy stock. Best setting is 1600 x 1600 dpi, for use when

high quality images are required.

 My Print Settings – Access your custom print settings for various jobs that you uploaded through

the “Media Profile Upload” in the Toolbox.

NOTE: Print Last Page First is set as

the default. This means the job starts

printing from the last page. The entire

job will load into the Printer before

printing starts. Large jobs may take

some time to load.

Unchecking the box prints the job

starting with the first page. Printing

starts as soon as first page loads.
