Making printer default settings - Printing Preferences

This section explains how to open the [Printing Preferences] dialog box under Windows Vista/7 or Windows Server 2008/2008 R2.

Important

  • You cannot change the printer default settings for each user. Settings made in the printer properties dialog box are applied to all users.

  • When the printer driver is distributed from the print server, the setting values specified by the server are displayed as the default for [Printing Defaults...].

1On the [Start] menu, click [Control Panel].

The [Control Panel] window appears.

2Click [Printer] in "Hardware and Sound".

  • If using Windows 7, click [View devices and printers] in "Hardware and Sound".

  • If using Windows Server 2008 R2, click [View devices and printers] in "Hardware".

3Right-click the icon of the printer you want to use, and then click [Printing Preferences...].

If using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, right-click the icon of the printer you want to use, and then click [Printing preferences].

The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.

4Make the necessary settings, and then click [OK].

The setting is temporarily registered as [Unregistered] in the [One Click Preset List:] area.

Note

  • Depending on the applications, the settings you make here may not be used as the default settings.

  • The [Unregistered] setting is invalid when the other One Click Presets icon is selected. If you wish to confirm the [Unregistered] setting, click [Register Current Settings...]. For details about confirming the setting, see "Making Printer Settings - One Click Presets".

  • For details, see the printer driver Help.
