2.This button opens the same windows for items which can 
be set from within application programs, as described 
earlier in “Printing preferences in Windows applications” 
on page 25. Changes you make here, however, will 
become the new default settings for all Windows 
applications.
3.This button prints a test page to check that your printer is 
working.
ADVANCED TAB
1.You can specify which times of day your printer will be 
available.
2.Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). 
Highest priority documents will print first.
3.Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a 
special print file) before being printed. The document is 
then printed in the background, allowing your application 
program to become available more quickly.

4.This specifies that printing should not start until the last 
page has been spooled. If your application program needs 
a lot of time for further computation in the middle of 
printing, causing the print job to pause for more than a 
short period, the printer could prematurely assume that 
the document has finished. Selecting this option would 
prevent that situation, but printing will be completed a 
little later, as the start is delayed.
5.This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing 
starts as soon as possible after the document begins 
spooling.
6.This specifies that the document should not be spooled, 
but printed directly. Your application will not normally be 
ready for further use until the print job is complete. This 
requires less disk space on your computer, since there is 
no spool file.
7.Directs the spooler to check the document setup and 
match it to the printer setup before sending the document 
to print. If a mismatch is detected, the document is held 
in the print queue and does not print until the printer 
setup is changed and the document restarted from the 
print queue. Mismatched documents in the queue will not 
prevent correctly matched documents from printing.
8.Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which 
have completed spooling when deciding which document 
to print next, even if completed documents are lower 
priority than documents which are still spooling. If no 
documents have completed spooling, the spooler will 
favour larger spooling documents over shorter ones. Use 
this option if you want to maximise printer efficiency. 
When this option is disabled the spooler chooses 
documents based only on their priority settings.
9.Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents 
after they are completed. This allows documents to be re-
submitted to the printer from the spooler instead of 
printing again from the application program. If you use 
this option frequently it will require large amounts of disk 
space on your computer.
10.Specifies whether advanced features, such as page order 
and pages per sheet, are available, depending on your

printer. For normal printing keep this option enabled. If 
compatibility problems occur you can disable the feature. 
However, these advanced options may then not be 
available, even though the hardware might support them.
11.This button provides access to the same setup windows as 
when printing from applications. Changes made via the 
Windows Control Panel become the Windows default 
settings.
