type, printing multiple pages on a single sheet of media (N-up printing), resolution, and watermarks. You
can access the printer preferences in the following ways:
●
Through the software application that you are using to print. This only changes the settings for the
current software application.
●
Through the Windows operating system. This changes the default settings for all future print jobs.

properties, the following section describes the most common methods used in Windows 2000 and
Windows XP.
