Preparing to print

Often you can simply select the Print command in the application you are using, click the OK button, and your document will be printed out. However, sometimes you may need to change certain settings beforehand, such as the default printer, which port a printer uses, which printer driver it uses, the paper size, the paper source etc.

Settings are made by checking radio buttons, entering numbers into fields or by clicking on the arrow by the side of a field and selecting an option from the list that appears. All these settings, and how to make them, are fully explained in

the Microsoft Windows 95 User’s Guide .

Some settings, e.g. paper size and paper source, can be made within an application when you select the Print command (see the next section: Printing a document). However, settings made within an application only affect printing from that application.

To change the default printer and to make general settings that will apply to any application, proceed as follows:

❏Click on the Start button in the bottom lefthand corner of the screen.

❏Select Settings.

❏Release the mouse button on Printers.
