You can store the settings specified in each panel of the [Print] dialog box on your Mac 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 Profiles

• 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.
