Step 2: Customize the printer settings

Your printer software includes several applications that let you perform printing tasks. One of these applications is called Printer Properties.

The Printer Properties has four tabs: Job Finishing, Paper, Document/Quality, and Advanced. Each tab has settings for operating your printer and its software.
