Changing Print Settings

To view or change the print settings, access the properties or printing preferences dialog box of the
printer driver.
You can access the properties dialog box either from the application's [Print] dialog box and the
[Printers and Faxes] (Windows 98/Me/2000: [Printers]) folder, or the printing preferences dialog box
from the [Printers and Faxes] (Windows 2000: [Printers]) folder.
To access the dialog box, follow the procedure below.

NOTE
• The properties dialog box enables you to set up the printer configuration and configure the print settings for all
Windows applications. The printing preferences dialog box enables you to specify the default settings for the
printing options available when you print with the Canon LaserBase MF3110. (Only for Windows 2000/XP.)
• The number of tabs displayed in the properties dialog box will vary, depending on the type of operating system you
are using and the method you use to access the dialog box.
• The method you use to access the dialog boxes determines how long the printing options remain in effect:
- If you access the dialog box from an application's [Print] dialog box, your selected printing options apply only to
the current print job. They will not be stored when you close the application.
- If you access the dialog box from the [Printers and Faxes] (Windows 98/Me/2000: [Printers]) folder, selected
printing options apply to all Windows applications and remain in effect until you change those settings.

Using the Machine on Your Network
This section provides instructions for using the Canon LaserBase MF3110 machine on your network.
By setting your machine as a shared printer on your network, the network users can share the machine
for printing. The print server and clients do not need to use the same operating system, and it is
possible to print from a Windows 98/Me client to a Windows 2000/XP print server, or vice versa.
You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not running when the client
was started.
If the server is running on Windows 2000/XP, you can print even if no one is logged into the server.

Determining Resolution
You can specify a resolution in [Image Quality] in the MF Toolbox settings dialog box, or in
[Output Resolution] in ScanGear MF.

NOTE
• The data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about brightness and color.
The density of these dots is called "resolution," and "dpi" (dots per inch) refers to the number of dots in one inch.
Resolution will determine the amount of detail your image contains. The higher the resolution (number), the more
detail in your image; the lower the resolution (number), the less detail.
• As a general rule, you should select a scanning resolution that corresponds to your final output device such as a
monitor or printer.

■ Images for Display on a Monitor

3
Images for display on a monitor should in general be scanned at a resolution of 75 dpi.

Scanning
■ Images for Printing
Images to be printed should be scanned at a resolution which corresponds to the resolution of the
printer. For example, if you are using a 600 dpi black and white printer, you should scan your document
at [600 dpi].

NOTE
With a color printer, the colors are expressed as a certain percentage of ink pigment so scanning your document
at half the resolution of the printer should be fine. For example, if you are using a 600 dpi color printer, you should
scan your document at [300 dpi].

■ Printing to Scale
For example, if you want to print a document which is twice the size both vertically and horizontally, the
resolution of your document will be reduced by half. If the resolution of the original document is 300 dpi,
the resolution of the enlarged document will be 150 dpi. If you print the document with a 600 dpi color
printer, the lack of detail in the image may be obvious. In such a case, if you scan at a resolution of 600
dpi, resolution will be 300 dpi even if you double the size of the document and you can print the
document with sufficient quality. Conversely, if you want to print a document at a reduced size, it should
be sufficient to scan at half the resolution.

■ Resolution and Data Size

If you double the resolution, the image data will be four times greater. If the data is too large,
processing speed will slow down significantly, and you may experience malfunctions such as lack of
memory. Make sure the resolution corresponds to the purpose of use of the image and set at the
lowest level possible.

might require closing other running programs or adding more RAM to the computer. See also Physical RAM,
Virtual memory.

Reinstall
To remove installed software and install again.

Resolution
The density of dots for any given output device, expressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolution
causes font characters and graphics to have a jagged appearance, but prints faster than higher resolutions.
Higher resolution provides smoother curves and angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface
designs, but prints more slowly. This machine can produce output with 600 dpi resolution. Resolution values
are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for example, 600 × 600 dpi.

S 5
