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 settings displayed in the [Printing preferences] dialog box opened from the [Devices and Printers] window are applied as the default in the [Printing preferences] dialog box opened in an application. When printing from an application, modify the settings as required.
The screens displayed may differ depending on the application. The following procedure explains how to print documents from an application using WordPad in Windows 7 as an example.
Click the WordPad menu button in the upper left corner of the window, and then click [Print].
Select the printer you want to use.
Click [Preferences].
Procedures for opening the [Printing preferences] dialog box vary depending on the application. For details, see the printer driver Help or the manuals provided with the application.
