[. . . ] If you wish your printing to rotate 90 degrees from what you see on the screen so it is printing horizontally, select landscape as your orientation. Portrait Print Quality Landscape There are 6 levels of print quality in the driver. Quality 1 provides the fastest print available while Quality 6 provides the best photo quality. It is recommended that you experiment with the different levels when designing your label to find a good balance between print quality and print speed. Best for Graphics mode is best used for graphical images where accurate color reproduction is not as essential. Images printed in this mode will look more vibrant because more ink is being used to produce them. However, printing images of people may produce skin tones that have a reddish tint. Supplies and Driver Settings 17 Best for Photos mode is best used for photographic images where accurate color reproduction is very essential. Images printed in this mode will look lighter than those printed in Photo mode. Skin tones especially will look more natural in this mode. NOTE: Exact color matching of the printed labels to the screen may never be possible since there are factors that affect this out of the drivers control. The surface of the label reacts with the ink in the cartridge to produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image to different types of labels with different surfaces the printed output can look entirely different. Ink Saturation This option controls the amount of ink used when printing an image. The default setting is 100%, which will provide the most accurate color matching. If the ink is not drying fast enough or bleeding, you can decrease the Ink Saturation to lessen the amount of ink that is applied to the label. If fine tuning is needed, increase this setting to move the image right on the label; decrease this setting to move the image to the left on the label. Cartridge Alignment Cartridge alignment will align the Black Cartridge to the Color Cartridge. You will automatically be prompted to perform this alignment each time you install a new cartridge. If you find that the black objects are not aligning properly with color objects on your label you can run the alignment procedure from the printer driver. You will be prompted to have label stock of 4"x4" (101. 6mm x 101. 6mm) or larger. If the loaded stock does not meet this requirement it can be unloaded by pressing the Unload button. Insert larger stock or feed a 18 Supplies and Driver Settings sheet of paper (no wider than 8. 25 inches or 209mm) into the print area then click OK to continue. The printer will print an alignment pattern then scan that pattern into memory automatically. Once it has finished you will see a dialog box stating that alignment values have been saved. Clean/Change Cartridges & Check Ink Levels Click this setting and you will see a Properties button. [. . . ] All you will need to do is create a custom page size the equivalent of your label stock size with margins set to "0".
