    For Print Quality, select High, Standard or Fast according to your purpose.

    From the Page Size list on the Page Setup tab, select the same size as that of the document that was created with the application software.

  8. Select the paper source

    For Paper Source, select the setting that matches your purpose.

  9. Select roll paper width

    If you selected a roll paper for Paper Source, set Roll Paper Width to the width of the roll paper loaded in the printer.

    Click OK.
    When you print, the document is printed with settings that match your purpose.
