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:

  1. Open [Devices and Printers].

    • For information on how to display [Devices and Printers], refer to Here.

  2. 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.
