How to Set up
There are several ways to set print options. How the settings affect printing varies depending on the way you set the
options. The tabs displayed also vary depending on how you display the printer properties.
Setting Initial Values of Print Options
Setting the print options by displaying the printer properties from the Printers folder within the Windows Start menu will
establish the initial values of the options. For example, the paper size setting you most commonly use, optional device
settings, user information settings, etc., are settings you will not want to change every time you print. It is convenient to set
these options as initial values.
