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 XP, Mac OS 9.2, and Mac OS X 10.5 are used as examples of their respective operating system families.

Important

  • If your system is Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2 / 2008, changing printer driver settings requires Manage Printers permission. Members of Administrators group have Manage Printers permission by default. When you change printer driver settings, log on with an account that has Manage Printers permission.

  • If you are using Adobe PageMaker 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0, you have to set up options in Adobe PageMaker's print dialog box.

Windows

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

Windows

[Installable Options] on the [Device Settings] tab.

Mac OS

You can set up all options using the [Chooser] dialog box.

Mac OS

For Ethernet, [Chooser] on the Apple Menu. For USB, [Change Setup] from the [Printing] menu to open the Desktop printer.

Mac OS X

[Options & Supplies...] in [Print & Fax] to open the System Preferences.

Note

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

  • See, "Making Option Settings for the Printer", "Setting Up Options" or "Setting Up Options" for the installation method appropriate to your printing environment.
