Printing

To find Driver Settings:

Click the

Start

button, choose

Printers and Faxes (XP), Printers

(Vista), Devices and Printers (Windows 7)

. Right-click on the

Color Label 900 Icon and select Printing Preferences from the

drop-down menu.

The preferences screen will appear.

NOTE on PC Settings:

Most applications allow you to change

these same printer driver options from their "Print" and/or "Printer

Setup" screens. Some applications such as NiceLabel save your

settings with the label, others use settings only for the current

print job just sent to the printer.
