# Print Profile

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


<Callout type="tip" title="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.
</Callout>

<Callout type="tip" title="Good to know">
Print Profiles are only available for printers that are configured with the <b>Standard</b> emulation type.
</Callout>

Advanced features include, for example:
* Finishing options such as stapling, punching, or binding
* Special settings for label printers (offset, temperature, speed)
