The following common questions and answers provide important information
about using printer driver:

Q.  Do I really need to change ink or Halftone options in the printer
    driver setup?

A.  Not really.  You can simply use the default printer driver settings for
    most printing needs.  However, if you want a different resolution or
    special paper for presentations, you'll need to change some settings.

Q.  What does the Defaults button do?

A.  It restores the driver settings to those you had when printer driver
    was first installed on your system.

Q.  Although I have selected the Air Brush halftone option, my pictures do
    not appear to be diffused.  Why?

A.  Your software may be overriding the driver's halftone processing.  Look
    at your software for an option that allows you to use printer halftones
    so that the printer driver can do its job.

Q.  I am trying to print an image.  Whatever Halftone option I select in
    the printer driver, the resulting output always looks the same.  What
    is the problem?

A.  It may be that the image you are trying to print has already been
    halftoned by your software and the software is overriding the driver's
    halftone settings.  Look at your software for an option that allows you
    to use printer halftones so that the printer driver can do its job. 
    You can also try printing the image with another program.

Q.  I am printing a word processor document and my print time is quite
    slow.  What is the reason for this?

A.  The Air Brush option in the halftone settings dialog box is generally
    the default setting on most printer drivers. Although this generally
    gives the best print quality for graphics, when printing text-intensive
    documents, the dither options provide greatly enhanced print
    performance.  Also, you might try changing your Print Quality settings
    to Normal or Draft.

Q.  I would like to send my print jobs to a remote spool manager across my
    network.  Can I do this?

A.  Yes.  Use the Search menu of the Help window to learn about the spool
    manager Queue Menu.
