Controlling the Printer
In general, there are three ways to control the settings of your
printer:
D The Printer Setup menu in your software
Cl The Printers icon in the Microsoft
®
Windows™ Control
Panel
P The printer’s front control panel buttons
Which way you use depends on the type of printer settings you
want to change. The most commonly adjusted parameters,
such as the number of copies, resolution, and orientation, can
be changed from your software or from the Printers icon in the
Windows Control Panel. For more information about changing
printer settings from software, see the section “Controlling the
Printer with Software” later in this chapter.
Some settings cannot be changed from software and some
software might not allow you to control printer settings. In
these cases, you can use the printer’s control panel to adjust the
printer settings.
