Printer Preferences is a quick and easy tool to set the printing preferences on the PDF Creator Plus 8 printer without having to go to Devices and Printers in Settings or in the Control Panel. You are now able to change these settings directly through the PDF Creator Plus dashboard.
Emulate Default Printer Changes
Earlier versions of PDF Creator Plus used the concept of always emulating whichever printer was set as the default printer to determine the printing resolution and hardware margins. This allowed us to match the pages in the PDF file to what the pages would look like when printed to your preferred printer. Starting with Windows 10 and up, the default printer behavior has changed. It is now normally set to be whichever printer you used last.
Due to the dynamic state of which printer is the default, PDF Creator Plus now uses its own settings unless Custom Layout is enabled. If you want to emulate a particular printer, the Copy Layout From This Printer button can be used to populate the Resolution and Hardware Margins from the printer selected in the list below the button. You can also select a resolution and edit the hardware margins manually.
Setting the Preferences
Launch Printer Preferences from the Dashboard by selecting "Printer Preferences". On launch, Printer Preferences will show you the current printer settings for the PDF Creator Plus 8 printer. From this screen you can:
•Change the paper size
•Change the page orientation between portrait and landscape,
•Enable Custom Layout to change the following:
oThe Resolution, or print quality of the printed pages
oSet any Hardware Margins, or non-printable margin areas, for the page
oCopy Layout Settings from another printer you have installed.
•Save the printer settings
