Printer properties (driver)
Printer properties control the printer and allow you to change default
settings, such as paper size, printing on both sides of the page
(manual duplexing), printing multiple pages on a single sheet of paper
(N-up printing), resolution, watermarks, and printer memory. You can
access the printer properties in two ways:
●
Through the software application from which you are printing.
(Change settings for current software application use.)
●
Using the Windows
®
operating system. (Change default settings
for all future print jobs.)
Note
Because many software applications use a different method of
accessing the printer properties, we will describe common methods
used in Windows 9x & NT
®
4.0, and Windows 3.1x.
