The Options button opens up a Print dialog box that allows you to change the print settings
for Word. It does not change your printers print driver settings. Refer to Word’s help function
for more information on Word’s print settings. To change your printer driver settings see

To get help for any print option with Windows
Printer driver Help is separate from program Help. The printer driver help provides
explanations for the buttons, check boxes, and drop-down lists that are in the printer driver.
It also includes instructions for performing common printing tasks, such as printing on both
sides, printing multiple pages on one sheet, and printing using different paper or media.
Activate the printer driver Help screens in one of the following ways:
• In the printer driver Properties, click the Help button.
• Press the F1 key on the computer keyboard.
• Click the question-mark symbol in the upper-right hand corner of the printer driver.
• Right-click on any item in the driver.
3.3. Advanced printing using the printer driver settings
Your Pantum printer comes with software for Windows that allows the computer to
communicate with the printer. This software is called a printer driver. Printer drivers provide
access to product features, such as printing on custom-sized paper, resizing documents, and
inserting watermarks. The specialised functions of your printer are accessed through different
settings in the printer driver.
There are two ways to change the printer driver settings. Settings can be changed by clicking
on the Properties button in the Print window when printing an individual le, or settings can
be changed by opening the printer driver from the Printers and Faxes menus, selecting the
printer to be modied and selecting the Printing Preferences function from the File menu.
Either way of accessing the printer driver settings menus allows you to change the default
setting for the printer to access special features.
Note: • Different application programs and different versions of Windows can use
different names for the same functions. For example, what is referred to as Page
Setup in one application may be Print Setup in another, and the Properties button
in one application or operating system may be the Preferences button in another
The examples and illustrations in this section may vary from the application
program and operating system version you are using.
• You should first be familiar with the different printing and page set up functions
of your application programs and operating systems to fully understand the
functions described below. Many of the basic printing functions such as printing
multiple copies, zooming multiple pages onto a single sheet of paper and
manually duplexing a document can be selected directly from the Print dialog box
rather than going into the printer driver settings.
