Windows Printing Options

Setting Default Printing Options for Windows
When you print from any software application, the printer uses the print job settings specified in the
Printing Preferences window. You can specify your most common printing options and save them so that
you do not have to change them every time you print.
For example, if you want to print on both sides of the paper for most jobs, specify 2-sided printing in
Printing Preferences.
To select default printing options:
1. Navigate to the list of printers on your computer:
− For Windows XP SP1 and later, click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes.
For Windows Vista, click Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Printers.
−
For Windows Server 2003 and later, click Start > Settings > Printers.
−
For Windows 7, click Start > Devices and Printers.
−
2. In the list, right-click the icon for your printer and click Printing Preferences.
3. In the Printing Preferences window, click a tab, select the options, then click OK to save.
Note: For more information about Windows print driver options, click the Help button (?) in the
Printing Preferences window.
Selecting Printing Options for an Individual Job for Windows
To use special printing options for a particular job, change the Printing Preferences from the application
before sending the job to the printer. For example, if you want to use the Enhanced print-quality mode
when printing a particular document, select Enhanced in Printing Preferences before printing the job.
1. With the document open in your software application, access the print settings. For most software
applications, click File > Print or press CTRL+P.
2. To open the Properties window, select your printer, then click the Properties or Preferences button.
The title of the button varies depending on your application.
3. Click a tab in the Properties window, then make selections.
To save your selections and close the Properties window, click OK.
