Printing a Document

NOTES:

•Your printer driver Properties window that appears in this User’s Guide may differ depending on the printer in use. However the composition of the printer properties window is similar.

•Check the Operating System(s) that are compatible with your printer. Please refer to the OS Compatibility section of Printer Specifications in the Getting started chaper.

•If you need to know the exact name of your printer, you can check the supplied Drivers and Utilities CD.

•When you select an option in printer properties, you may see

an exclamation mark	or	mark. An exclamation mark
means you can select that certain option but it is not
recommended, and	mark means you cannot select that

option due to the printer’s setting or environment.

The following procedure describes the general steps required for printing from various Windows applications. The exact steps for printing a document may vary depending on the application program you are using. See the User’s Guide of your software application for the exact printing procedure.
