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] 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 [Preferences].
The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.
Make the settings you require, and then click [OK].

Procedures for opening the [Printing Preferences] dialog box vary depending on the application. For details, see the manuals provided with the application.
Depending on the applications, the printer default settings may not be applied.
The printer settings you configure in the current application before printing might not be saved as the default settings.
General users can change the 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.
