# Chapter 4. Usage

KLjettool is very simply to use. In fact most of its functions should be self-explanatory.

# 4.1. KLjettool Screen

When you start KLjettool, you are presented with a small window with 5 tabs labled: Printer, Paper, Operations, Fonts and About.

Along the bottom are 4 buttons:

Help

  This button opens this document in the help browser.

OK

  This button makes your changes permenant, and closes KLjettool.

Apply

  This button makes your changes permenant, but it does not close KLjettool so you can test your settings and adjust them some more.

Close

  Exits the program without saving the changes.

## 4.1.1. Printer tab

Mode

  You should choose between Economy Mode and Presentation Mode. Economy mode is suitible for everyday printing, and requires less toner. The Presentation Mode produces the highest quality output, but requires more toner.

Resolution

  Choose between 300dpi and 600dpi for your printer.

Printer

  You can choose from a list of printers. If your printer does not appear in the list provided, see the section on "Getting KLjettool to work"

Density

  This will help determine how dark the print is on your final output.

Resolution Enhancement

  Determines the resolution enhancement mode.

## 4.1.2. Paper tab

Format

  This drop down box allows you to choose your paper size, from a variety of standard sizes.

Copies

  Choose how many copies of each page you should print.

  | This will not override the settings of another application. This is in addition to the settings of all other applications. (You can think of the total number of copies as a multiplication problem) As an example: If you tell KWord to print 2 copies of a letter, but you tell KLjettool to print one copy of the letter, 2 copies will still be printed. (KWord says "print copy one of the letter. Now print copy 2 of the letter.". (2 multiplied by 1 = 2 copies) On the other hand, if you tell KWord to print 1 copy of a letter, and you tell KLjettool to print 2 copies of the letter, 2 copies will still be printed. (in this case, KWord says "Print the letter". KLjettool then says, OK, now I need to print 2 of everything, so you get 2 copies of the letter. (1 multiplied by 2 = 2 copies) Finally, if you tell KWord to print 2 copies of the letter, and you tell KLjettool to print 2 copies of the letter, you will get 4 copies of the letter. (2 multiplied by 2 = 4 copies.)

Lines

  This determines the number of printed lines on a page.

Orientation

  You can choose to have KLjettool force a page to fit across (landscape) or up and down a page (portrait).

Miscellaneous

  Has two options:

  Manual feed

    Used to tell the printer to take paper from the manual feed slot, rather than the normal paper tray.

  Autocontinue

    If selected, and if the requested paper size or type is not available in the printer, the printer will override paper format, and pull paper from the default tray. If not selected, the printer will wait for the correct paper size to be inserted.

## 4.1.3. Operations Tab

End of Line Mode

  Determines how end of lines are sent to the printer. If you are not having problems, do not change this.

Page Protect

  Sets the Page Protect option on your printer. Refer to your printer manual for an explanation of this feature.

Power Save Time

  Determine the time of inactivity before the printer enters Powersave mode.

## 4.1.4. Fonts Tab

This box lets you determine the language, Symbol Set and font sizes to use for printing.

## 4.1.5. About Tab

This provides program and copyright information.
