Changing settings for the Mac OS

You can change printer settings from the Page Setup and Print dialog boxes in the Mac OS.

You can also select the default printer. The default printer is the one that is used if you choose the Print command without first specifying which printer you want to use with an application. The default printer should be the printer that you use most often.

For more information about using the Mac OS to change printer settings, see the Mac Help on your computer.
