Printer Properties (Windows 98/Me) - Profiles Tab

A registered combination of settings for the [Page Setup], [Finishing], [Paper Source] and [Quality] tab sheets is referred to as a profile. The profile function commonly provided in each of these tab sheets enables you to add, edit, and select a profile, which facilitates your print jobs.

[Profile]	Stores various printer driver settings, each suitable for certain print jobs, as pre-defined Profiles. Selecting Profiles from the drop-down list enables the printer to perform a variety of print jobs. A frequently performed print job can also be saved as a Profile.
Preview Image	Displays the image with the currently selected settings reflected. Changes the setting for [Page Layout] every time you click anywhere inside the image of the page. The setting changes in the following order: [1 Page per Sheet], [2 Pages per Sheet], [4 Pages per Sheet], [1 Page per Sheet], etc. Right-clicking the mouse button on the preview image displays the pop-up menu, from which you can also change the setting for [Page Layout] and [Color Mode]. Clicking the edges of the preview image of the page changes the binding location.
[Output Method]	Switches the job mode between [Print] and [Edit and Preview]. [Print] Executes a normal print job. [Edit and Preview] Saves the data in the Canon Page Composer dialog box. If you open [Canon MF8100 Series Properties] from the [Printers] folder and select the [Edit and Preview] mode, (Lock) button appears on the right side. When you click this button, the [Edit and Preview] mode is locked.
