Device Settings
Use Device Settings to specify or change device settings.
You can change the device settings for one device, and then apply these settings to multiple devices. When printing from a computer application, various printing settings can be specified from the device driver; however, using the Device Settings tool, more advanced settings can be specified. When you open the Device Settings window, the device's current settings are retrieved and displayed. If the current settings cannot be retrieved, the previous settings are displayed. If the current settings cannot be retrieved and previous settings were not specified, the machine's factory settings appear.
