Selecting Presets for Printing (Mac OS)
You can save the settings specified in each panel of the [Print] dialog of your Mac OS as presets. A preset is a combination of frequently used print functions saved as a single setting. You can print with ease by simply selecting a registered preset according to your needs.
Benefits of Using Presets
Reducing effort for specifying settings
If you frequently use the same print settings, you can register the settings as a preset to eliminate the effort spent specifying the settings each time.
Preventing misprints
You can help prevent misprints occurring due to mistakes made when specifying settings.
Required Condition
The printer driver is installed.
This section describes the procedure for registering two-sided black-and-white printing as a preset, and selecting the registered preset for printing.
