Understanding the print settings
All of the print settings are on the four main tabs of Print Properties: the Layout tab, Paper tab,
Graphics tab, and Extras tab.
Saving favorite print settings
You can save your favorite print settings using the Favorites option, which is located on each
Properties tab of the printer driver.
To save a favorite print setting:
1 Access Print Properties either from your program or from the Printers folder. For help, see
page 32.
2 Modify the print settings you want to save on the first tab (for example, under Layout Options
you might set Type to Reduce/Enlarge and Percentage to 50%).
3 Enter a name in the Favorites list (for example, if you made the Layout Options changes
above, you might name this setting Half-scale).
4 Click Save.
5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each tab you want to specify a Favorites setting.
To use a saved setting, select the name entered in step 3 from the Favorites drop-down list. To delete
a saved setting, select it from the Favorites drop-down list and click Delete. To restore the printer
driver default setting, select <Printer Defaults> from the Favorites drop-down list.
