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.

Because many software applications use a different method of accessing the printer properties, the following section describes the most common methods used in Windows 98, 2000, Millennium, and Windows XP.
