INDOWS
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. Other
Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the
principles are the same.

INDOWS 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.
