Printer properties (driver)

Printer properties control the printer. You can change the default settings, such as media size and type, printing multiple pages on a single sheet of media (N-up printing), resolution,

and watermarks. You can access the printer properties in the following ways:

●Through the software application that you are using to print. This only changes the settings for the current software application.

●Through the Windows® operating system. This changes the default settings for all future print jobs.

Note	Because many software applications use a different method of accessing the printer properties, the
	following section describes the most common methods used in Windows 9x, 2000, Millennium, NT 4.0,
	and Windows XP.

Windows 9x, 2000, Millennium, and NT 4.0

●Change the settings only for the current software application: From within the software application, on the File menu, click Print, and click Properties. (Although the steps can vary between software applications, this is the most common method.)

●Change the default settings for all future print jobs: In the Windows system tray, click Start, select Settings, and click Printers. Right-click the printer icon that you want to change, and click Properties. (Many of the features in Windows NT 4.0 are also in the Document Defaults menu.)
