The Status Monitor for Windows provides access to many options
and enables the printer default settings to be changed to meet
your every day needs.
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 Status Monitor menus, and you print documents
from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will
override the printer’s default settings.
When you choose to print your document from a Windows
application program a
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 the
Printing
Preferences
dialogue. These settings are those which you may
want to change for specific applications or documents. Settings

application program is running.
The Printing Preferences dialogue contains three tabs, which are
explained in the following sections.
