Specifying the Printer Driver Default Settings (Windows)

You can print using the same settings each time by specifying default print settings. For example, if the policy of your department is to output only in 2 on 1 printing, you can set the default settings to 2 on 1 printing.
Benefits of Using Profiles
Reducing effort for specifying settings
If you register default print settings, you can eliminate the effort spent specifying the settings each time you print.
Preventing misprints
You can prevent misprints occurring due to mistakes made when specifying settings.
Reducing costs
By printing two pages on one page (2 on 1) or setting the black and white colour mode as the default settings, you can reduce the running costs of your office.
Required Condition
The printer driver is installed.
This section describes how to set printing both sides of the paper with two pages on each side as the printer default settings.
