Printing from Start to Finish

Here’s what you need to do to print a basic document—such as a memo, newsletter, or photograph—from loading the paper to selecting print settings to controlling print jobs. Follow the step-by-step instructions in this chapter. You can even practice selecting settings using the EPSON Guided Printing Exercise, as described below.
