Setting the default printer After adding the printers you may want to change your default printer—the printer your computer will print to unless you select a different printer. It is normally convenient to set the printer closest to you as the default, but it can be any printer. - To set your default printer in Windows 7, click Start → Devices and Printers then right-click the printer you want as your default and click Set as default printer.
- To set your default printer in Windows 8.1, open the charms bar and search for Devices and Printers, then right-click the printer you want as your default and click Set as default printer.
When adding a printer in DC| Panel |

- While any PATH staff member can connect to a DC printer/copier, the Ricoh copiers require a datawatch key card to release a document from the machine. PATH staff who are visiting the DC office will need to email dcfacilities@path.org for more details.
- A Virtual Copier printer should be used by DC Office staff only. Equitrac, a program installed on DC staff laptops asks for a project code every time you click Print.
- The Virtual Copier printer places your print job in a print queue for the next 8 hours. Swipe your office Datawatch card at any of four Ricoh photocopiers in the office to release your documents for printing.
- Staff visiting The PATH DC have to choose a printer other than Virtual Copier printers. They can print 40 pages (20 sheets) without providing their project code.
- By default, printers print double-sided.
