Defining Print Settings: an Overview

Print settings determine how your document looks when it is printed.
Although predefined print settings are initially installed with the software, you may want
to change these settings for certain documents.
Print settings can be changed to suit the type of document you are printing.
For example, if you regularly print draft copies of reports, you can define print settings
to suit your printing requirements.
You can change a number of print settings, such as the paper size, page layout,
resolution, and halftoning method. If you use certain print settings often, you can save
the settings as a print profile and reuse the profile as needed.
The following instructions summarize the general procedures for changing printer
settings, based on your version of Windows. For detailed information on specific print
