Page printer defaults form

Before submitting a file for printing, you need to know the defaults for each printer in your installation. At the minimum, you must know the printer selection parameters for the printer you want to use. See your system support group for this information.

For a handy reference, you can copy the form in Page-printer defaults form and fill it in with the defaults for your installation. Complete a form for each printer you use. You can then select a printer with the defaults you need by referring to the information you have on the forms. You can also determine the parameters you must specify for your file. As an example, a completed form is shown in Figure 34.
