Note

❒ The procedure to open the printer properties dialog box may vary depend-

ing on the application. For details, see the manuals provided with the ap-
plication you use.

application's own default settings are applied.

❒ Any settings you make in the following procedure are valid for the current

application only.

❒ General users can change the properties displayed in the [Print] dialog box

of an application. Settings made here are used as defaults when printing
