Re: Holding Printer setup and setting from front panel controls

Zake - Does your printer dialogue box have similar features to the one that
I described? If so, you can set a new default by selecting a profile you
had already set up. With the i960 the selected profile will remain as the
new default profile while you print several documents. You can name it for
the program from which you print the CD's , just for convenience, and it
will stay as the new default when you move on to a different document.
Better than having to reset all parameters to print each file! In the "good
old" DOS days you could write a batch file to reset the printer and open
the program. I haven't bothered to learn how to do this sort of thing in
windows. Haven't even bothered to find out if it is possible.
