Printer driver settings for various types of printing are provided in Profiles by default. You can specify print settings according to your needs simply by selecting an item from the list of profiles. In addition to the settings provided by default, you can register frequently used settings.

• Benefits of Using Profiles

• Reducing effort for specifying settings
  If you frequently use the same print settings, you can register the settings as a profile to eliminate the effort spent specifying the settings each time.

• Preventing misprints
  You can prevent misprints occurring due to mistakes made when specifying settings.

• The printer driver is installed.

This section describes the procedure for registering the settings for printing two pages on one sheet (2 on 1) in black-and-white, and selecting the registered profile to perform printing.
