Selecting Presets for Printing (Mac OS)
You can save the settings specified in each panel of the [Print] dialog of your Mac OS as presets. A preset is a combination of frequently used print functions saved as a single setting. You can print with ease by simply selecting a registered preset according to your needs.
Benefits of Using Presets
Reducing effort for specifying settings
If you frequently use the same print settings, you can register the settings as a preset to eliminate the effort spent specifying the settings each time.
Preventing misprints
You can help prevent misprints occurring due to mistakes made when specifying settings.
