Page 3: Multi-function output print setting method

Most users may only have one printer at hand, but sometimes you may want the printer to print according to different printing methods. For example, if you want to run the application running at the current system at a higher speed while printing, you need to have a printer. Set to process in the background; if you want the speed of the file to print faster, you should let the printer work at high speed; if you want the printer to be able to print in a specified time, you must set the printer to follow the timing method. print.

Each time you print in different ways, you need to reset different parameters each time. This will greatly reduce the efficiency of the print job. For this reason, the author specifically proposes a multi-function output print setting method, which enables everyone to print any specified file at any time without having to modify the print settings each time. In fact, this setting method is also very simple, that is, for a printer to install several print icons at the same time, so that each print icon represents a kind of pre-set print mode, the specific implementation steps of the method are:

1. Double-click the "My Computer", "Control Panel", "Printer" or "Printer and Fax" icons on the system desktop to open the printer window, and set the relevant parameters of the printer in the usual way;

2, then, select the printer icon just set, press the "F2" key, enter a name that can remind the icon represented by the function (for example, background printing);

3. Click on the "Add Printer" icon. In Windows XP, click the "Add Printer" link in the "Printer Tasks" list on the left side of the window. Then, run the printer's installer again. When the installer gives the "Do you want to keep existing drivers or use new ones?" prompt, select the "Retain existing drivers" option and click the "Next" button.

4. When the system gives a prompt for entering the printer name, select a name that matches the setting, for example, print directly. Then click the "Next" button, follow the system prompts to complete the installation process. Now, select the icon you just created and follow the previous steps to set the corresponding function parameters for this shortcut.

5. In this way, when you print again, you can see your own customized list of printers in the printer list, and select the appropriate printer to print different documents. After selecting the desired printer, after making other settings, click the "Confirm" or "Print" button.

Finally, the author wants to prompt the users that this multifunction output print setting method is invalid for Windows 2000 network printers.
