PERATION
This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your printer from either a Windows
or a Macintosh environment. In the former, while PCL emulation is available on all printer
models, PS emulation is available on the B430dn models.

INDOWS
The operator panel controlled menus and Printer Menu Setup Tool (described in the chapter
entitled “Operator panels”) provide access to many options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these items. Where items in
the printer driver are the same as those in the operator panel and Printer Menu Setup Tool
menus, and you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver
will override those settings in the operator panel and Printer Menu Setup Tool menus.

INDOWS APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a Print
dialogue box appears. This dialogue usually specifies the name of the printer on which you
will print your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties button.
When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a short list of the printer
settings available in the driver, which you can choose for this document. The settings
available from within your application are only those which you may want to change for
specific applications or documents. Settings you change here will usually only last for as
long as the particular application program is running.

EMULATION
The tabs available are the Setup Tab, the Job Options Tab and the Image Tab.
NOTE
The illustrations in this guide relate to Windows XP PCL and PS emulations –
other operating system windows may appear slightly different but the
principles are the same.
