Changing printer settings

The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change these settings when you print on media of different sizes or types.

You can change print settings for a single document from the application that the document was created in. To change the default print settings for all documents, you must open the printer driver from the Start menu.

The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change these settings when you print on media of different sizes or types.

You can change printer settings from an application or the printer driver. Try to make changes from the application first. Changes made to settings from an application always take precedence over changes made to settings from the printer driver.

If you want to change settings only for the jobs you are printing from the application that is currently open, change the settings from the application. After you close the application, the printer settings return to the defaults configured in the printer driver. If you want to set printing options for all jobs you print from all applications, change the default settings in the printer driver.

To change settings from an application (current jobs)

1.With a document open, on the File menu, click Print, and then click Setup or Properties.

2.Change the settings and click OK, Print, or a similar command.

To change default settings (all future jobs)

1.Open the printer driver in one of these ways.

For Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows 2000: From the Windows desktop, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

For Windows XP: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes.

2.Right-click the printer icon, and then choose one of these options.

For Windows 98 and Windows Me: Click Properties.

For Windows 2000 and Windows XP: Click Printing Preferences or Properties.

3.Change any settings and click OK. The settings you chose will apply to all documents printed from all applications. You can override these settings from the printer driver just for the job you are currently printing. See To change settings from an application (current jobs).

1000 specifications

The HP 1000 was a series of minicomputers produced by Hewlett-Packard from the early 1970s through the late 1980s. Originally introduced in 1973, the HP 1000 aimed to provide high-performance computing capabilities within the reach of small to medium-sized businesses and specialized industries. This machine was distinctive not only for its advanced technology but also for the versatility it offered in various applications.

One of the standout features of the HP 1000 was its architecture. The system utilized a 16-bit word size, which allowed for efficient processing and execution of instructions. The HP 1000 employed a unique architecture known as the "Hewlett-Packard 1000 Microprogrammed System," which enabled it to execute a broad range of instructions efficiently. This made the HP 1000 particularly well-suited for data processing applications, scientific calculations, and high-level computing tasks.

The HP 1000 series was fully modular, allowing users to customize and expand their systems as needed. It supported various input/output devices, memory sizes, and even offered options for solid-state disk drives, which were cutting-edge for that time. The system’s modularity not only provided flexibility but also enhanced maintainability, enabling users to swap out components without significant downtime.

Another key aspect of the HP 1000 was its support for a wide range of programming languages, including FORTRAN, COBOL, and BASIC. This made it appealing to a variety of users, from engineers who needed to perform complex calculations to business analysts focused on data management. Additionally, the HP 1000 was designed to run multiple jobs simultaneously, making it a precursor to modern multitasking operating systems.

Networking capabilities were also an essential characteristic of the HP 1000. The system could be connected to various peripherals and terminals, increasing its functionality in a networked environment. This helped businesses leverage the power of shared resources, facilitating collaborative projects and data sharing across departments.

In conclusion, the HP 1000 series played a significant role in the evolution of computing technology. Its modular design, robust architecture, support for multiple programming languages, and networking capabilities made it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications. For over a decade, the HP 1000 series marked an important chapter in the history of computing, laying the groundwork for advancements in minicomputer technology that would follow.
