Displaying the Printer Properties
There are two ways to display the printer’s properties. Displaying and setting the printer properties
vary according to how the settings take effect for printing. Also the tabs displayed vary depending on
how you display the printer properties.
SUPPLEMENTS:
•The Color Management tab is additionally displayed for Windows 98, Windows Me.
•For the PCL6 and PostScript printer driver Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP,
only the Output, Cover/Insert, Watermark, Print Quality, PS (for PS driver only), Private,
Options, User, Settings, and Consumables tabs are displayed.
Setting the print options by viewing the printer properties from the Printers folder within the Windows
Start menu will establish the initial values of the print 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 print options as initial values.
