Printer options describe the physical setup of your printer. Change options
when you change the paper type (for example from paper to envelope) or
when you change the paper size or feed. Printer options must always
reflect the actual physical setup of your printer.
Some options in this dialog box will differ, depending on the type of printer
you have installed. For example, some printers will not print on large size
paper, so if that printer is installed, that paper size will not be available in the
Printer Options.
Printer options for laser printers differ from printer options for inkjet printers.
However, all printers share the basic printer options.
in Options, the printer
you have connected
and the paper type
determine the Paper
Feed, Size, and Width
and Height settings.

automatically
changes.
