Software for Windows

Windows printer drivers

A printer driver is the software that provides access to printer features and provides the means for the computer to communicate with the device.

Printer preferences (driver)

Printer preferences control the device. 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 preferences 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 98 SE, Me, 2000, and Windows XP.

Printer properties online Help

The printer properties online Help, also called the driver Help, includes specific information about the functions in the printer properties. This online Help guides you through the process of changing your printer default settings. For some drivers, online Help provides context-sensitive help that describes the options for the driver feature you are currently using.

To access the printer properties online Help

1.From the software application, click File, and then click Print.

2.Click Properties, and then click Help.

Print-setting priorities

There are two ways to change print settings for this device: in the software application or in the printer driver. Changes made in the software application override settings changed in the printer driver. Within a software application, changes made in the Page Setup dialog box override changes made in the Print dialog box.

If more than one method is available to change a particular print setting, use the method that has the highest priority.
