Basic Printing

Note:

Some application settings override driver settings (such as Paper Size or Orientation), so it’s a good idea to check the settings in your application before you print. See page 1-2 for instructions.

Note:

You can access the default Windows NT printer software settings only if you have the appropriate network access privileges, such as Administrator or Power User.

Setting Default Printer Options

When you change printer settings through your software application, the settings apply only to the application you’re using. To adjust the default settings for all your Windows applications, access the settings through the Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 Printers utility or the Windows 3.1 Control Panel. (Close all your applications before you start. If you don’t, you may have to close and reopen them to use the new default settings.)
