Priority for print settings
Changes to print settings are prioritized depending on where the changes are made:
NOTE:
The names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on your software program.
●
Page Setup dialog box: Click Page Setup or a similar command on the File menu of the program
you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed here override settings changed
anywhere else.
●
Print dialog box: Click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command on the File menu of the program
you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed in the Print dialog box have a lower
priority and do not override changes made in the Page Setup dialog box.
●
Printer Properties dialog box (printer driver): Click Properties in the Print dialog box to open
the printer driver. Settings changed in the Printer Properties dialog box do not override settings
anywhere else in the printing software.
●
Default printer driver settings: The default printer driver settings determine the settings used in
all print jobs, unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer Properties dialog
boxes.
●
Printer control panel settings: Settings changed at the printer control panel have a lower priority
than changes made anywhere else.
