# Printer Options Dialog

The Printer options dialog lists the model of the currently selected printer and the document format used to generate documents sent to the printer. It also presents the options that you can set for the printer.

To access the Printer options dialog, click the Printer tab on the Print Setup window.

Note that the available options may vary according to the printer model. Some printer models support options that other printers do not. The most commonly implemented printer options include:

Page Orientation

- Specifies how the output will be oriented on the page. Possible orientations include: portrait, landscape, reverse portrait, and reverse landscape. An icon adjacent to the orientations list presents a graphical illustration of the current selection.

Printed Sides

- Specifies single or double-sided printing. Up to three choices are possible: simplex, duplex, and tumble. An icon adjacent to the choices list presents a graphical illustration of the current selection.

Tray

- Specifies the printer tray from which the media will be drawn. The `Auto-select` tray option is available for all printers. Selecting this option indicates no preference as to which tray to use. Remaining Tray selections are dependent on the printer.

Page Size

- Specifies the media size for printing. The entries in this list depend on whether the `Loaded in Printer` or `All Sizes` radio button is selected.

Loaded in Printer

- Provides a list of the media sizes currently available on the printer. If the current `Tray` option is `Auto-select`, you will see all media sizes available in all of the printer’s trays. If a specific tray is selected, only the media size loaded in that tray is shown. Information on which media size is available in which tray must be provided by the system administrator. If the system administrator does not provide this information, the `Loaded in Printer` radio button will be inactive.

All Sizes

- Provides a list of all supported media sizes available for the printer. If the you select this button, the `Tray` option is set to `Auto-select`. This button is provided for the following situations:

  - If the system administrator has not specified which sizes are loaded in the printer

  - If a desired media size is not loaded and the printer prompts for the requested size

  - If the output never reaches an actual printer (for example, when printing to a file)

The Job options dialog presents the options that you can set for the current print job.

Banner Page Title
