A print profile represents a specific configuration of your printer that controls advanced functionalities.

Important:For basic print jobs (duplex, copies, output color, paper type, tray), print profiles are not required. However, if you want to use the printer's advanced features, you need to create a print profile.
Important:Print profiles are only available for printers that are configured with the standard emulation type "PDF".
