Setting Up Print Options
Print Options are the attributes you set to define the way a print job is processed. For example, the private print and proof print options determine how the copier manages your print job.
To find the printing instructions for your specific needs, see the procedures in the following section. P.55 “Printing with the Best Functions for Your Needs”
How to set up
There are several ways to set print options. How the settings affect printing varies depending on the way you set the options. The tabs displayed also vary depending on how you display the printer properties.
Setting initial values of print options
Setting the print options by displaying the printer properties from the Printers folder within the Windows Start menu will establish the initial values of the options. For example, the paper size setting you most commonly use, optional device settings, user information settings, etc., are settings you will not want to change every time you print. It is convenient to set these options as initial values.
