Step 2: Customize the printer settings
Your printer software includes several applications that let
you perform printing tasks. One of these applications is
called Printer Properties.
The Printer Properties has four tabs: Job Finishing,
Paper, Document/Quality, and Advanced. Each tab
has settings for operating your printer and its software.
Opening the Printer Properties from an
application
You can open the Printer Properties from almost every
application. This lets you change printer settings ONLY for
the documents you are currently creating in the
application.
1
Open the application’s File menu.
2
Choose Print (or Printer) Setup.
3
In the Printer Setup dialog box, click the Properties,
Option, or Setup button (depending on the application).
Opening the Printer Properties from
Windows
When you open the Printer Properties from Windows, the
settings apply to ALL documents, unless you change them
from the application.
1
From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select
Printers.
2
From the Printers folder, right-click the printer icon for
your printer.
3
Select Properties from the sidebar menu.
