Chapter 4: Windows Operations
This chapter describes features of the Windows Driver. The driver allows you set default settings for all print jobs as well as print settings for individual print jobs. Similar features may be available in the Operator Panel or EWS. If there is a conflict between settings in the Operator Panel, Printing Preferences (default driver settings), or Embedded Web Server and printer settings set via your application for individual print jobs, the application settings supersede any other setting.
