Making General Settings Before Using the Printer

The printer driver requires setting of items that are common to all print jobs, including the port to which the printer cable is connected and optional devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made using property sheets available from the Properties command after the printer driver has been installed or whenever the operating environment is changed.

The most common settings were made when the printer driver was installed, meaning that you do not usually bother to change them. Some items must, however, be changed in the following cases.
