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, or when you want to use an optional feature like two-sided printing.

You can change print settings from the software application that the document was created in. To change the default print settings for all documents, you must do so from the printer driver.

The printer driver help can be activated from the Help button, the F1 key, or a question mark symbol in the upper-right corner in the printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system used). These help screens give detailed information about the driver features.

Installing the Toolbox lets printer error messages display on your computer screen. See Installing the printer driver (Windows and Macintosh).
