  1. Paper Size
    Select the paper size you want to use. You can either choose from standard paper sizes or create a custom paper size.

    Select the orientation (portrait or landscape) of your printout.

    If your application contains a similar setting, we recommend that you set the orientation using the application.

    Collate
    Select this option to print sets of multi-page documents in the original page order. When this option is selected, one complete copy of your document will print, and then reprint according to the number of copies you choose. If this option is not selected, then each page will print according to the number of copies chosen before the next page of the document is printed.
  4. Media Type
    Select the media type you want to use. To achieve the best print results, the machine automatically adjusts its print settings according to the selected media type.

    Select the Colour/Mono settings to use.
    NOTE
    • The machine’s colour sensor is very sensitive and may perceive faded black text or an off-white background as colour. If you know that your document is black and white and you want to conserve colour toner, select the Mono mode.
    • If either the Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a colour document, the print job cannot be completed. Cancel your print job and select to start the print job again in Mono mode, as long as the Black toner is available.
