Saving print settings
You can save print settings so you can retrieve them and apply them to other documents. Print settings are made up of printing properties such as the number of copies to print or printing text as graphics. You may require different print settings for different types of documents or printers. For example, you may use one for printing letters and another for printing envelopes.
By default, the properties are retrieved from the printer you have selected and then the printer settings are applied. The default settings are in effect until you change them or you close the file. You can, however, save a selected printer’s settings and specify not to retrieve the settings from the printer each time you apply the settings. Therefore, if the printer’s settings are changed, the settings you saved do not change.
If you no longer need the settings, you can delete them. You can also restore the factory application default settings.
