Using the Printer Driver with Windows
To control your printer and change its settings, use the printer
driver. The printer driver allows you to easily make all the print
settings, including paper source, paper size, and orientation. To
access the driver menus, see below.
Accessing the printer driver
You can access your printer driver directly from most Windows-
based applications, or from your Windows operating system, as
explained below. The printer driver settings made from many
Windows applications override settings made when the driver is
accessed from the operating system, so in most cases you should
access the driver from your application to make sure you get the
results you want.
