Selecting printer driver settings
Canceling printing

Follow these steps to select basic printer driver settings:

Select Print from the File menu of your application. The Print window appears.

Make sure the EPSON Stylus Pro 3800 is selected, and then click Properties or Options. You may need to click a combination of these buttons. The driver settings window appears.

Select the Media Type setting that matches the paper loaded in the printer. See Media Type setting list.

Note:

Check the media type and its paper path. See Paper path list. The Media Type setting determines what other settings are available in the printer driver, so make sure you select this setting first. Some media types are not available depending on the Paper Source setting selected on the Paper tab (see step 8, below).

Select Color (to print color or monochrome photos) or Black (to print a draft or black text only) as the Color setting.

If you want to fine-tune your monochrome prints, select Advanced B&W Photo.

Select Automatic as the Mode setting.

Adjust the Speed and Quality slider if it’s available. Drag the slider to the left or right depending on which setting is more important.

Note:

Depending on the Media Type setting you choose, a slider may not appear in the Mode box.

If you selected Advanced B&W Photo as the Color setting, select a Color Toning setting from the drop-down list.

Select a color control mode from the drop-down list in the Mode box. For more information, see Color Control mode.

Select the size of paper you loaded in the printer from the Paper Size drop-down list.

Note:

Most Windows applications feature paper size settings that override similar settings in the printer driver. If you don’t see the paper size you loaded in the printer, see to create a custom paper size.

Select Copies and Orientation settings, as necessary.

Click the Layout tab. You see a window like this one.

Note:

The Double-Sided Printing feature is available only when Sheet is selected as the Paper Source setting.
