Getting started
1.Install the application. See Installation on page 5.
2.Create a job in the job preparation pane, which gives you many tools for manipulating and setting up each job before printing. You can preview pages in the preview pane. See Job preparation on page 18. To create your first job, select the printer that you want to use, and drag and drop one or more files onto the job preparation pane (or press the 
icon to browse for files).
3.Send your job to the printing queue (using the Print Job button), where you can monitor its progress. See Printing on page 34.
4.Conveniently reprint past jobs from the job history. See The job history on page 38.
IMPORTANT: If you close the application or shut down the computer while there are still jobs printing or waiting to print, those jobs are canceled and moved to the job history.
