Checking the printer driver settings
Before you start printing, you should make sure that the driver
settings match your document requirements. While many
Windows applications override the printer settings made with the
driver, some do not.
Be sure to check the following:
❏
Resolution
The printing resolution in dots per
inch (dpi).
❏
Paper size
The size of the paper loaded in the
printer.
❏
Orientation
The direction of printing on the page
(portrait or landscape).
❏
Paper source
Tractor, manual feed, or sheet feeder.
