Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these items. Where
items in the printer driver are the same as those in the operator panel menus, and
you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will
override those settings in the operator panel menus.

When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a Print
dialog box appears. This dialog usually specifies the name of the printer on which you
will print your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties button.
When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a short list of the
printer settings available in the driver, which you can choose for this document. The
settings available from within your application are only those which you may want to
change for specific applications or documents. Settings you change here will usually
only last for as long as the particular application program is running.
