Phaser 380 Color Printer

Using the AdobePS 4 and Microsoft drivers with Windows 95

To select printing options, follow these steps:

1.

From the taskbar, select Start. In the menu that appears, select

Settings, then Printers.

2.

In the Printers window, click the Phaser 380 printer icon with the

right mouse button, then select Properties from the menu.

3.

Click the following tabs to see printing options; refer to your

Windows 95 documentation for more information on tabs and

options.

Click the Details tab to access timeout settings and other options.

Set the Timeout settings if your printer is connected to a local port.

Not Selected: Type a value in this text box to change the

number of seconds Windows waits before notifying you that a

printer is off-line. The default is 15 seconds, and is

recommended.

Transmission Retry: On large or multiple-page documents

you may see an Alert message that the printer is no longer

accepting data before the job is completely sent to the printer.

To avoid these unnecessary timeouts, set this option to a larger

value, such as 900 seconds (15 minutes). Type a value

between 45 and 999 in this text box; the Windows default

setting is 45 seconds.

Click the Paper tab to see media options, such as media sizes,

media trays, and media types.

Click the Graphics tab to see graphics options.

Note

To change the print quality modes (dpi settings), use the Print

Quality selections in the Device Options tab. These Print

Quality selections override the Resolution Options in the

Graphics tab.
