Note
If you are using host color correction, you need to make selections
in the Graphics and Device Options tabs. Refer to the on-line
manuals on the printerÕs CD-ROM for more information on host
color correction.
■ Click the Device Options tab to see printer-speciÞc options.
■ Select Printer Features, such as Color Corrections.
■ Select Installable Options, such as the Optional Lower Tray.
■ Click the PostScript tab to see PostScript-related options.
■ The PostScript header contains important PostScript information
that must accompany each print job; it is not a banner page printed
with each job. If an option is not selected, an error message is
displayed on your computer screen and your job does not print.
Click one of the following in the PostScript header Þeld:
Select Download header with each print job. This option
downloads PostScript header information with each print job.
This is the recommended setting.
Click the Send Header Now button to save the PostScript
header information in the printer, then select the Assume
header is downloaded and retained option. This option
makes print Þles a little smaller and faster than the Þrst option,
but you need to click the Send Header Now button every time
the printer is turned on.
■ Click the Advanced button to see more options. Select Use
PostScript Level 2 features. Click OK when Þnished.
Note
For faster printing, select Binary communications protocol
under Data format.
