General
Comment
Provides a place for you to add a comment about the printer,
for example, when it is available or what it is used for.
If you share this printer, the comment is transferred when someone
sets up your printer on their computer. However, if you change the
comment, other people will not see the updated version.
Separator page
Inserts a page between each document printed. This is useful if
many people are using your printer or if you are printing multiple
documents at once. You can choose between a full page that
includes graphics or a simple page with text only.
If you want to use a custom separator page, click Browse to locate
and specify which separator file you want to print between docu-
ments. You can use any Windows metafile (.wmf) for a separator
page.
You can set up separator pages only if the printer is attached directly
to your computer.
Print Test Page
Click this button to send a test page to your printer. You might want
to do this to make sure your printer is set up correctly.
