Accessing the Printer Driver

You can access the driver in different ways, depending on how you want to use the settings you select:

If you want the changes to apply only to the document(s) you will print in a particular Windows application, see the following section.

If you want the settings to apply to all Windows applications, access the driver as described on page 2-10 for either Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.

Accessing the Driver From Windows Applications

If you want to change the driver settings only for the software application you are currently using, you can access the driver by choosing Print or Print Setup from the File menu of your application. If you choose Print Setup, you access the printer driver directly and see the Main menu tab shown on page 2-11.

If you choose Print, you first see a Print dialog box. The Print dialog box contains the settings you change most often, including the number of copies and the print range. To access the printer driver settings, choose the Printer, Setup, Properties, or Options button. (You may need to select another option, depending on your software application.)

Note:

The printer driver settings you select through your Windows application apply only for the duration of your session with that application. Once you exit the application, the driver settings return to the default values selected through the Windows 3.1 Control Panel or Windows 95 (or the driver’s defaults).
