Changing printer
settings
You can make permanent changes to the printer settings using the
control panel of the printer (see
The Menu , page 55). Various printer
settings can also be entered in the operating system of your PC,
however.
1 Click on the Start button in the Windows taskbar.
2 Windows 2000/2003: click on Printers and Faxes to open the
printer folder. Windows 7 and above: click on Devices and Printers.
3 Move the mouse pointer to the appropriate printer symbol, press the
right mouse key and click on Properties.
Details of the settings available in this window can be found in the
Windows documentation or help pages.
Settings entered in the printer driver via Windows have priority
over settings entered via the printer menu. It is therefore pos-
sible that the former may overwrite the latter.
Form settings
(Windows 7 and above)
Windows versions 7 and above have a central facility for managing
form properties and assign one paper feed only.
If you want to set up a form not included in the Windows default set-
tings, proceed as follows.
You will need Administrator rights to define new forms.
1 Click on the Start button in the Windows taskbar.
2 Click on Devices and Printers to open the printer folder.
3 In the menu bar, click on Server Properties .
4 In the window Printer Server Properties , click on Form if neces-
sary.
5 Either select an existing form from the Forms list or activate the op-
tion New Form .
6 Enter a form name and the desired values.
7 Click on Save to save the new form.
You can now assign this form to the paper feeds of your printer (see
Changing printer settings
, page 28).
The form cannot be assigned if its dimensions exceed the per-
missible paper sizes of the specified paper feed.
