In the Basic tab, you can control following settings.
Multiple Page: If you choose 2 in 1, you can print 2 pages of your document on a single sheet of paper.

In the Advanced tab, you can control the following settings.
Scaling: If Scaling is off, you can restrict enlarging and reducing the document size.
(*The Scaling setting and Multiple Page setting in the Basic tab cannot be selected at the same time.) If you set Multiple Page to N in 1 or 1 in N pages, the Scaling setting will be changed to off.
Use Watermark: Printing a watermark such as CONFIDENTIAL can reduce a risk of information leak and increase user's awareness about security.
Header-Footer Print: You can include user identification in the Header & Footer information. Printing the user identification of the person printing a document can increase user's awareness about security.
