Basic Procedures
Printing from a Macintosh
To print a job from a Macintosh software application, first
select the printer then use the Print command in the File
menu.
Important
zBefore you start a print job on the computer, close any
software applications running in the background.
Another program running in the background could
break the flow of print data and temporarily stop the
printer or cause poor print quality.
Note
zFor more details about how to use the printer driver,
please refer to the online Help of the printer driver.
Selecting the Printer
zFor Mac OS 8.6/9.x
If you are using Mac OS 8.6 or Mac OS 9.x, select the
printer with the Chooser. This printer will not be dis-
played in the list if it is not switched on, or if the printer
cable is disconnected. Start the print job after you con-
firm that the printer is in working order.
Note
zYou may not be able to share the printer with a USB
connection. In such a case, connect the printer directly
to the computer through its USB or IEEE1394 port
(option). If you want to share the printer, perform the
print job from a Windows computer.
