Print-settings priorities
When making changes to printing settings, follow the hierarchy of how changes are prioritized. (Note
that the names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on your software program.)
●
"Page Setup" dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Page Setup or a similar
command on the File menu in your software program. This dialog box is part of the program in
which you are working. Settings that are changed here override settings that are changed
anywhere else.
●
"Print" dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Print, Print Setup, or a similar
command on the File menu in your software program. It is also part of the program, but it has a
lower priority than the Page Setup dialog box. Settings that are changed in the Print dialog box
do not override settings that are changed in the Page Setup dialog box. Settings that are
changed here do override settings that are changed in the printer driver.
●
Printer driver. The printer driver opens when you click Properties in the Print dialog box.
Settings that are changed here do not override settings that are changed anywhere else. (For
Macintosh, the printer driver settings are integrated into the Print dialog box.)
