Selecting Printing Defaults in Windows

Notes:

•These instructions are for setting printer driver defaults for the printer drivers installed on your computer. If the printer is shared on a network, you can set defaults that will apply to that printer for every user who accesses it over the network. For details, see Selecting Printing Defaults in Windows for a Shared Network Printer on page 65.

•When you select printing preferences using this method, these will be the default settings used for all print jobs sent to the printer from your computer using the specific driver unless you override them for an individual print job.

1.Navigate to your computer’s list of printers:

•For Windows XP, click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes.

•For Windows Vista, click Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Printers.

•For Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, click Start > Settings > Printers.

•For Windows Server 2008, click Start > Settings > Printers.

2.In the Printers folder, right-click the name of your printer driver (printer name + PCL 6 or PS) and select Printing Preferences.

3.Make selections on the driver tabs as desired and then click OK to save your selections.

4.Set defaults for the other printer driver if applicable.

Note: For more information about Windows printer driver options, click the Help button in the Printing Preferences dialog box to view the online help.
