 Chapter III: Set Defaults for PrinterBegin Main Content
 
 
A.   Windows Printer Defaults
After installation and setup are completed, changing your default settings to settings that will be used the most often will save time in the future.
 
To set the default settings on your printer, enter the printer properties page for your Pro Series embosser through Start>Printers and Faxes on Windows XP or Start>Settings>Control Panel>Printers and Faxes on Windows XP, right click on your Pro Ink embosser and choose 'Printer Properties'. Within the Tiger Tab of the properties window, you'll find several new options.
 
The Quality Settings for the ink output include a setting for Dithering which determines the pattern for printing grey areas, and Print Quality to choose between draft, normal, or best. The print quality setting determines how much ink is used by the Ink Attachment for printing. In Draft mode the Ink Attachment only prints a single amount of ink per character onto the paper. In normal mode the Ink Attachment uses twice the amount of ink per character. In Best mode the Ink Attachment uses the same amount of ink as in Normal mode, but the ink head sweeps twice over the paper. This results in four times the amount of ink used per character.
 
Under How to Print, you can choose solely emboss output, only ink output, or both. If you check Emboss the printer will emboss every page. If you check Ink the printer will print every page in ink. If you check both Emboss and Ink, the printer will print and emboss every page combined. If you check 2 in 1 the printer will emboss all odd pages and ink every next even page on top of the preceding odd page.
 
Note: The 2 in 1 option has the higher priority, so if you check all three boxes the outcome will be as if you only checked 2 in 1.
