Creating Named Print Settings
In this exercise, you create named print settings, and add them to your default template file. This can be
beneficial if you have numerous printers in a large networked office. For each printer, you can set options
such as sheet sizes, paper placement, and the percent of actual size. You can also create named settings for
printing to a DWF writer. By creating named settings within the template, you need only select a setting,
make minor modifications if necessary, and print.
Create named print settings
1 Click File menu ➤ Print.
2 Under Name, select the first printer for which you want to create named settings.
