Making General Settings Before Using the Printer
The printer driver requires setting of items that are common to all print
jobs, including the port to which the printer cable is connected and option-
al devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made us-
ing properties dialog box available from the Properties command after the
printer driver has been installed or whenever the operating environment is
changed.
The most common settings were made when the printer driver was in-
stalled, meaning that you do not usually bother to change them. Some
items must, however, be changed in the following cases.
For details of “Device Options Setting tab”, see page 4-2.
