The [Print] dialog box appears.

2In the [Select Printer] list, select the printer you want to use.

3Click [Preferences].

The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.

Note

  • 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.
