Printer properties (driver)
Printer properties control the printer. You can change the default settings, such as media size
and type, printing multiple pages on a single sheet of media (N-up printing), resolution,
and watermarks. You can access the printer properties in the following ways:
●
Through the software application that you are using to print. This only changes the settings
for the current software application.
●
Through the Windows
®
operating system. This changes the default settings for all future
print jobs.
Note
Because many software applications use a different method of accessing the printer properties, the
following section describes the most common methods used in Windows 9x, 2000, Millennium, NT 4.0,
and Windows XP.
