8 Printing and Faxing

Setting up your Macintosh

Note

The screens shown in this section are from Mac OS X 10.5.x. Screens on your Macintosh may vary depending on your operating system and application.

Before you can connect the machine to your Macintosh, you need to purchase a USB cable (type A/B) that is no longer than 6 feet (2 meters).

IMPORTANT

DO NOT connect the machine to a USB port on a keyboard or a non-powered USB hub.

Choosing the right type of paper

For high quality printing, it is important to choose the right type of paper. Be sure to read Loading paper and 8 Loading documents in the Basic User’s Guide before buying paper.

Simultaneous printing, scanning and faxing

Your machine can print from your Macintosh while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a document into the Macintosh. Fax sending will not be stopped during Macintosh printing.

However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the Macintosh printing operation, and then continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.

Clearing data from the memory

If the LCD shows Data Remaining, you can clear the data that is left in the printer memory by pressing the Stop/Exit key on the control panel.
