Changing printer settings
The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change these settings
when you print on media of different sizes or types.
You can change print settings for a single document from the application that the document was
created in. To change the default print settings for all documents, you must open the printer driver from
the Start menu.
Changing settings for Windows
The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change these settings
when you print on media of different sizes or types.
You can change printer settings from an application or the printer driver. Try to make changes from the
application first. Changes made to settings from an application always take precedence over changes
made to settings from the printer driver.
If you want to change settings only for the jobs you are printing from the application that is currently open,
change the settings from the application. After you close the application, the printer settings return to the
defaults configured in the printer driver. If you want to set printing options for all jobs you print from all
applications, change the default settings in the printer driver.
To change settings from an application (current jobs)
1. With a document open, on the File menu, click Print, and then click Setup or Properties.
2. Change the settings and click OK, Print, or a similar command.
To change default settings (all future jobs)
1. Open the printer driver in one of these ways.
• For Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows 2000: From the Windows desktop, click Start,
point to Settings, and then click Printers.
• For Windows XP: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes.
2. Right-click the printer icon, and then choose one of these options.
• For Windows 98 and Windows Me: Click Properties.
• For Windows 2000 and Windows XP: Click Printing Preferences or Properties.
3. Change any settings and click OK. The settings you chose will apply to all documents printed from all
applications. You can override these settings from the printer driver just for the job you are currently
printing. See
To change settings from an application (current jobs) .
