Changing printer settings

The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change
these settings when you print on media of different sizes or types, or when you want to use an
optional feature, such as printing to Tray 2, which is included with the HP Business Inkjet
1100dtn and optional with the HP Business Inkjet 1100d.

You can change print settings for a single document from the application that the document
was created in. To change the default print settings for all documents, you must open the
printer driver from the Start menu.

Changing settings for Windows

The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change
these settings when you print on media of different sizes or types, or when you want to use an
optional feature, such as printing to Tray 2 or printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.

You can change printer settings from an application or the printer driver. Try to make changes
from the application first. Changes made to settings from an application always take
precedence over changes made to settings from the printer driver.

If you want to change settings only for the jobs you are printing from the application that is
currently open, change the settings from the application. After you close the application, the
printer settings return to the defaults configured in the printer driver. If you want to set printing
options for all jobs you print from all applications, change the default settings in the printer
driver.
