Using the Microsoft PostScript driver with
Windows 95

1. In the Printers window, click the Phaser 600 printer icon with the right mouse button, then select Properties from the menu.

2. 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 see timeout and other options.
  • Set the Timeout settings.

    Not Selected: Type a value from 0 to 999, 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.

    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. When using a shared printer, you should set this option to a larger value, such as 900 seconds (15 minutes) to avoid these unnecessary timeouts. Type a value between 45 and 999 in this text box; the default setting is 45 seconds.

• Click the Paper tab to see media options, such as media sizes and media source; use manual feed for cut-sheet media.

• Click the Graphics tab to see graphics options.

  ---

  Note: Use the Print Quality selections in the Device Options tab instead of the Resolution Options in the Graphics tab. Click the Device Options tab to see printer-specific options, such as color corrections.

  ---

  ---

  Note: If you are using host color correction, you need to make selections in the Graphics and Device Options tabs. Refer to Color Matching for more information on host color correction.

  ---

• Click the Device Options tab to see printer-specific options, such as color corrections.

• Click the PostScript tab to see PostScript-related options.
  • The PostScript header contains important PostScript information that must accompany each print job; it is not a banner page printed with each job. If an option is not selected, an error message is displayed on your computer screen and your job does not print. Click one of the following in the PostScript header field:

    Select Download header with each print job. This option downloads PostScript header information with each print job.

    Click the Send Header Now button to save the PostScript header information in the printer, then select the Assume header is downloaded and retained option. This option makes print files a little smaller and faster than the first option, but you need to click the Send Header Now button every time the printer is turned off or reset.

  • Click the Advanced button to see more options. Select Use PostScript Level 2 features. For faster printing, select Binary communications protocol under Data format. To ensure job integrity, select Send Ctrl-D before and after a job. Click OK when finished.

  • Under PostScript Timeout values, leave Job Timeout set to 0. Set WaitTimeout to the default, 240 (4 minutes). Setting it higher ensures that you will not lose a multi-page job due to a timeout after the Transmission Retry alert message is displayed.

1. In the Printers window, click the Phaser 600 printer icon with the right mouse button, then select Properties from the menu.

2. Click the following tabs to see printing options; refer to your Windows 95 documentation for more information on tabs and options.

6. Set the Timeouts. These options regulate your computer's communications with its printer ports.
   • Device Not Selected:

     Type a value from 0 to 999, 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.

   • 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 downloaded to the printer.

     ---

9. From the Options dialog box, click the Advanced button to see the Advanced Options dialog box. Make sure the Use PostScript Level 2 Features check box is checked on.

   ---

   Note: The Use PostScript Level 2 Features option affects the print time of bitmapped (raster) images by improving the image transfer time from the computer to the printer, and by improving the image processing time in the printer. This option is only available to applications that use this Xerox driver with Xerox PostScript Level 2 printers. When this box is checked, the Compress Bitmaps option is unavailable (grayed-out).
