Making Printer Settings from an Application

You can make printer settings for a specific application.

To make printer settings for a specific application, open the printing preferences properties dialog box from that application. The following procedure explains how to make printer settings for a specific application using Windows XP WordPad as an example.

On the [File] menu, click [Print...].
The [Print] dialog box appears.
In the [Select Printer] list, select the printer you want to use.
Click [Printing Preferences...].
The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.
Click [Properties...].
Make the settings you require, and then click [OK].

Procedures for opening the printing preferences properties dialog box vary depending on the application. For details, see the manuals provided with the application.
Any settings you make using this procedure apply to the current application only.
General users can change the printing preferences properties displayed in the [Print] dialog box of an application. Settings made here are used as the defaults when printing from the application.
For details, see the printer driver Help.
