You can use your printer with Windows PC or Macintosh software applications that allow printing.

If you already know how to use a printer with your computer, you are ready to begin printing as usual. If you are new to printing, or if you have questions, use this chapter to learn more.

When you print from your computer, the control panel settings on the printer do not apply; the software on your computer overrides the print settings.
