Configuring the Default Settings of the Printer Driver

Configuring the optional environment of this machine

When you use this machine for the first time, check that information such as what options are installed in this machine and whether authentication settings have been configured is correctly reflected to the printer driver.

  1. Display the [Properties] window of the printer driver.
    • For information on how to display the [Properties] window, refer to Here.
  2. In the [Configure] tab, check the information such as what options are installed in this machine and whether authentication settings have been configured.
    • By default, [Auto] in [Obtain Settings...] is enabled. The information on this machine is automatically obtained and reflected to [Device Option].
    • When [Auto] in [Obtain Settings...] is disabled, clicking [Obtain Device Information] obtains and reflects the information on this machine to [Device Option].
    • If you cannot establish communication with this machine, manually set this information in [Device Option]. Select the item from the list, and select the setting from [Setting].
  3. Click [OK].

Changing the default print settings

If necessary, you can change the default print settings of the printer driver.

For example, if you set black-and-white printing as a default setting, users need to change the setting when they want to use color printing. As a result, unnecessary color printing can be prevented. We recommend that you change the default settings to suit your environment.

  1. Display the [Printing Preferences] window of the printer driver.
    • For information on how to display the [Printing Preferences] window, refer to Here.
  2. Change the print settings, and click [OK].

    The changed settings are applied when printing is performed from any application software.

Reference
  • The printer driver has the function to save favorite settings. It is useful to register frequently used print settings as favorite settings. For details, refer to Here.
