[Printing Preferences] Window of the Printer Driver
How to display the [Printing Preferences] page
The printer driver has two windows for configuring settings: the [Properties] window and the [Printing Preferences] window. This section describes the [Printing Preferences] window.
The [Printing Preferences] window has multiple tabs on each of which related functions are grouped to enable you to configure print functions unique to this machine. To display the [Printing Preferences] window, take the following steps:
Open [Devices and Printers].
For information on how to display [Devices and Printers], refer to [Open Devices and Printers] .
Open [Printing Preferences].
Right-click the icon of the installed printer, and from [Printing preferences], click the displayed printer name.
The [Printing Preferences] window of the printer appears.
The print settings changed here are registered as default values. When you want to temporarily change settings to print from application software, click [Properties] (or [Preferences]) in the [Print] window to open the [Printing Preferences] window.
