How do I set the default print settings when I print from Windows or my Mac?

• When you change your print settings from within a program, the changes apply only while you're printing from the open program. To set default settings for all your programs, follow the steps below for your operating system.

  Note: The information below applies only to the Standard Epson printer software.

  Windows

  1. Do one of the following:
     • Windows 10: Right-click  and select Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers. Right-click your product name and select Printing Preferences.
     • Windows 8.x: Navigate to the Apps screen and select Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers. Right-click your printer and select Printing Preferences.
     • Windows 7: Click  and select Devices and Printers. Right-click your printer and select Printing Preferences.

  2. Select the default settings you want to use.

  Mac

  1. Open a document and select Print from the File menu.

  3. Select the print settings you want to save.

     Note: Some options may not be saved as a preset.

  4. Click the Presets pop-up menu and select Save As or Save Current Settings as Preset.
  5. Enter a name for your preset and choose whether this preset can be used with any printer or only with the currently selected printer.
  6. Click OK.

  When you are ready to print, click the Presets pop-up menu, select your preset from the list, and click Print. Once a preset has been selected, it will automatically be selected in the print dialog for future print jobs until another preset is selected. To revert to the default print settings, select Standard from the Presets pop-up menu.

  If you don't want to create a preset and simply want to print with the last print settings you selected, select Last Used Settings in the Presets pop-up menu.
