Printer preferences control all of your print jobs, unless you override them specifically for a
job. For example, if you want to use automatic 2-sided printing for most jobs, set this option in
printer settings.

Click Start, select Settings, and then click Printers.

In the Printers folder, right-click the icon for your printer.

From the popup menu, select Printer Preferences or Properties.

Make selections on the driver tabs, and then click the OK button to save your selections.

Note:

For more information about Windows printer driver options, click the Help button on

the printer driver tab to view the online help.

Selecting Options for an Individual Job (Windows)

If you want to use special printing options for a particular job, change the driver settings before
sending the job to the printer. For example, if you want to use High-Resolution/Photo
print-quality mode for a particular graphic, select this setting in the driver before printing that
job.

With the desired document or graphic open in your application, access the Print dialog
box.

Select the Phaser 8500/8550 printer and click its Properties button to open the printer
driver.

Make selections from the driver tabs. See the following table for specific printing options.

Note:

In Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, you can save current

printing options with a distinctive name and apply them to other print jobs. Select either
the Paper Quality, Output Options, or TekColor tab, and then press the Saved Settings
button. Click the Help button for more information.

Click the OK button to save your selections.

Print the job.
