Printing from Windows applications

After you have connected the printer to your computer and installed and set up the printer software, you’re ready to start printing. This section explains the basic steps required to print a document, though the details can vary from one program to another. To find out more about printing from your programs, read the documentation that came with them. If you have Windows NT, print using the TCP/IP protocol or using AppleTalk protocol. See your Windows NT manual for information on configuring.

To print a document from a Windows program, the program must be open and the document window must be active.

2In the dialog box that appears, select the options you want and click Print.

Selecting page setup options

The Windows Page Setup dialog box allows you to specify certain aspects of your document, such as its page size, input paper tray source, and orientation. You can change these settings for every document you create. It’s recommended that you set your page setup options when you first create a document. Then, as you view and format the document it will closely resemble its final printed form.
