Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many
options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of
these items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as
those in the operator panel menus, and you print documents
from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will
override those items in the operator panel menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Other
Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the
principles are the same.

APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your document from a Windows
application program a Print dialogue box appears. This dialogue
usually specifies the name of the printer on which you will print
your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties button.
When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a
short list of the printer settings available in the driver, which you
can choose for this document. The settings available from within
your application are only those which you may want to change for
specific applications or documents. Settings you change here will
usually only last for as long as the particular application program
is running.
