# Setting the Printer Options

Before printing, you need to set up the printer configuration in order to use the functions of printer options (such as paper feed options, paper output options, etc.) attached to and installed in the machine.
The printer configuration can be set up automatically while installing the driver. If the machine cannot be configured during the installation, follow the procedure below.

IMPORTANT
To configure the printer option settings, you must log on to your computer as a member of the Administrators or Power Users group.

1.
Open the printer folder.
"Basic Operations/Various Information for Windows"
2.
Right-click the icon of the printer whose settings you want to specify → click [Properties] (or [Printer properties]).
3.
Click [Device Settings] → [Get Device Status].
4.
Confirm the settings such as paper source options and output options → click [OK].

NOTE
If the information request returns an error message, you need to configure the settings (such as paper feed options, paper output options, etc.) manually. If the printer and computer are connected via USB or a WSD (Web Services on Devices) port, the [Get Device Status] function is unavailable. You need to configure the settings manually.
