Printing documents

Installing the MP Drivers enables you to print from application software supporting a print function. The print procedure varies slightly depending on the application software. The basic print procedure is explained here. For the actual operation, see the manuals of the application software to be used for printing.

IMPORTANT

•While the machine is printing from the computer, or the computer is in the sleep mode or standby mode, do not disconnect and connect the USB cable.

NOTE

•The menu screens and dialogue boxes that appear may vary, depending on the application software you are using.

•The screen shots used in this procedure are from Windows XP.

Follow this procedure:

1Load paper in the multi-purpose tray. (See page 25.)

2Open the document in the application software, and select the command to print.

•This in most cases will be [Print] in the [File] menu or toolbar.

3In the [Print] dialogue box, make sure your machine is selected in the [Printer] box or the drop-down list.

•If not, select your machine from the [Printer] box or the name drop-down list .

Example: Microsoft Word
