Printer properties (driver)

 

Printer properties control the printer. You can change the default

 

settings, such as media size and type, printing on both sides of

 

the paper (manual duplexing), printing multiple pages on a single

 

sheet of paper (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 Mac OS.

 

 

Windows 9x, 2000, Millennium, and NT 4.0

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

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