PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS
Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these
items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as those in the
operator panel menus, and you print documents from Windows, the
settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the
operator panel menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Windows 2000
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the
same. Windows 9x and Me are substantially different and are covered
in a separate chapter.
PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS
APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your document from a Windows application
program a Print dialogue box appears. This dialogue usually specifies
the name of the printer on which you will print your document. Next to
the printer name is a
Properties
button.
When you click
Properties
a new window opens which contains a
short list of the printer settings available in the driver, which you can
choose for this document. The settings available from within your
application are only those which you may want to change for specific
applications or documents. Settings you change here will usually only
last for as long as the particular application program is running.
