Separation pages allows you to separate print jobs with blank sheets, making it easier to see where one job ends and the next begins.
Collation allows you to print multiple copies of multiple-page documents in the correct numerical sequence.
AutoFit automatically scales a page to best fit the sheet size of the media in the designated input tray.
Watermark provides the ability to print text, such as "Draft" or "Confidential," in the background of every page of a document.
