You can print using the same settings each time by specifying default print settings. For example, if the policy of your department is to output only in black-and-white, you can set the default settings to black-and-white print.

• Benefits of Using Profiles

• Reducing effort for specifying settings
  If you register default print settings, you can eliminate the effort spent specifying the settings each time you print.

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

• Reducing costs
  By setting black-and-white and 2-sided printing as the default settings, you can reduce the running costs of your office.

• The printer driver is installed.
