Selecting Windows Default Settings

The printer settings you make apply only to the application you’re currently using.
If you usually print one type of document in different applications—for example,
black ink on legal size paper—you can change the default printer settings for all
your programs. You do this using the Windows Printers utility:

1. Click

Start

, point to

Settings

, and then select

Printers

2. Right-click the

EPSON Stylus COLOR 480

icon.

3. Select

Properties

(

Document Defaults

in Windows NT;

Printing

Preferences

in Windows 2000).

4. Click the

Main

tab.

5. Select the default settings you want to use for all your applications. Click

when you’re finished.

You can always change the default settings in your application when you want to
print different types of documents. You can also save a group of common settings;
see the electronic Reference Guide (described on page 7) for details.

For more information about printer settings, click the Help button. Or you
can right-click any item on the screen and then click What’s This?.
