Print Profile

A Print Profile is a Custom Printer Configuration that enables advanced features for your printer.

Good to know Basic printing tasks like duplex printing, number of copies, color output, or paper selection do not require a Print Profile. However, if you want to use special printing functions, a Print Profile is required.
Good to know Print Profiles are only available for printers that are configured with the Standard emulation type.

Advanced features include, for example:

  • Finishing options such as stapling, punching, or binding
  • Special settings for label printers (offset, temperature, speed)
