Using Profiles to Print (Windows)
Printer driver settings for various types of printing are provided in Profiles by default. You can specify print settings according to your needs simply by selecting an item from the list of profiles. In addition to the settings provided by default, you can register frequently used settings.
Benefits of Using Profiles
Reducing effort for specifying settings
If you frequently use the same print settings, you can register the settings as a profile to reduce the effort spent specifying the settings each time.
Preventing misprints
You can help prevent misprints occurring due to mistakes made when specifying settings.
