MAC – Creating Printing Presets

Applies to all Konica Minolta models

The following document will cover creating printing presets, printing using created presets, and setting a preset as the default preset.

Note:   The following provides instructions for printing using the standard features in OS X and may not match your setup. If these instructions differ from the user interface you’re seeing, refer to the documentation that came with the app you’re using.

To see more options, click Show Details. Depending on the app you’re using you may see options for changing the paper size for a document, setting the default paper size, and more.



Two common settings that people want to change are Color and 2 sided printing. The options for Color are found under “Quality”. The options for 2 sided printing are found under “Layout/Finish”

Print with your preset settings

  2. Click the Presets pop-up menu, then choose your preset. If you don’t see the Presets pop-up menu, click Show Details.
