How do I set the default print settings in Windows or on my Mac?

• To set default settings for all your software, follow the steps below for your operating system.

  Note: When you change the print settings only in your printing software, the change will apply only during the current print session, not when you open the software again. Select your default print settings as instructed below to change the print settings you use in all your programs and sessions.

  2. Select Printer Settings. You see the printer settings window:
     
     
  3. Select the print settings you want to use as defaults in all your Windows programs.
