Restoring the default printer-driver settings
You can return all settings in the printer driver to their default values. This feature might be useful if
you are experiencing quality issues, or if the print media is not being selected from the correct tray.
Select Defaults in the Quick Sets dialog box on the Finishing tab of the printer driver.
To print from Windows
1.
Make sure that print media is loaded in the printer.
2.
On the File menu, click Page Setup or a similar command. Make sure that the settings are
correct for this document.
3.
From the File menu, click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command. The Print dialog box opens.
4.
Select this printer and change settings as necessary. Do not change any settings, such as page
size or orientation, that you set in the Page Setup dialog box.
5.
If this print job is for a standard size and weight of paper, you probably do not need to change
the Source is (tray), Type is, or Size is settings, and you can go to step 7. Otherwise, go to
step 6.
6.
If this print job is to be printed on a non-standard size or weight of paper, select how the printer
pulls paper.
●
To print by Source (tray), select the tray in the Print dialog box, if possible.
●
To print by Source (tray) when this setting is not available in the Print dialog box, click
Properties, and on the Paper tab, select the tray in the Source is field.
●
To print by Type or Size, click Properties and, on the Paper tab, select the type or size in
the Type is or Size is field. (For some paper, such as letterhead, you will set both the Type
and Size.) Always print by Type for special print media such as labels or transparencies.
7.
If you have not yet done so, click Properties. The printer driver opens.
8.
On the various tabs, set any settings that you want that did not appear in the Page Setup or
Print dialog box. For more information about printer-driver settings, see
.
9.
Select the Print command to print the job.
Gaining access to printer driver settings
This section lists the common printing features that are controlled through the printer driver. (The
printer driver is the software component you use to send print jobs to the printer.) You can change
settings temporarily for the print jobs that you print while the program is still open. You can also make
permanent changes to the default settings, and those new settings will be in effect now and in the
future.
