for more information.
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 menus, and you print documents from Windows,
the settings in the Windows printer driver will override those
items in the menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show the printer in

slightly different, but the principles are the same.
Printer driver settings
A printer driver is a software program that controls a printer.
The printer driver feeds data about printing requirements for a
document to the printer.
You can make printer driver settings either from Windows
Printers
window (called “Printers and Faxes” in Windows XP)
or from within a Windows application. The driver settings you
make from the Windows “Printing Preferences” dialog box are
essentially default settings and will be remembered from one
Windows session to the next. The driver settings you make
from within a Windows application, e.g. in the File -> Print
dialog box in Microsoft Word, are those required for a
particular job and will not be remembered the next time you
open this application. In both cases, you can save and name
(on the Setup tab) specific sets of driver settings which can be
recalled for future use.
