PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS
Your printer’s menus (accessed via the “The Status Monitor” on page 35) 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 menus, and you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Other Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same.
PRINTER DRIVER SETTINGS
You can make printer driver settings either from Windows Printers window (called “Printers and Faxes” in Windows XP) or from within a Windows application. The driver settings you make from Windows are essentially default settings and will be remembered from one Windows session to the next. The driver settings you make from within a Windows application are those required for a particular job. In both cases, you can save and name (on the Setup tab) specific sets of driver settings which can be recalled for future use.
PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a Print dialogue box appears. This dialogue usually specifies the name of the printer on which you will print your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties button.
