Using the Apple Printer Utility for the Mac OS

The Apple Printer Utility program allows you to set the default settings that
control how various aspects of the LaserWriter 12/640 PS work. Use it to
choose the basic printer settings that you want to use for all documents.

You can also change printer settings without changing the printer’s basic
defaults by changing the settings in the Print and Page Setup dialog boxes.

individual settings for their documents.
