Your machine is initially installed using factory-predefined settings, enabling you to print immediately. These settings determine what your documents will look like when printed. You can change these print settings to suit the document you are printing.
Unless you save your settings as a profile, your settings are available only for the current print job. For details on print profiles, see the Software Guide.
You can define print settings in two ways:
Print Advisor—Displays as a wizard that guides you through a series of questions to select the appropriate print settings for your document ( below).
Manually—You can manually change individual settings to suit your document ( Software Guide).
