Lexmark C935 manual Installing printer software, Printing a document from Windows

Printing

This chapter covers printing, printer reports, and job cancellation. The selection and handling of paper and specialty media can affect how reliably documents print. For more information, see "Avoiding jams" and "Storing paper."

Installing printer software

A printer driver is software that lets the computer communicate with the printer. The printer software is typically installed during the initial printer setup. For more information, see the Setup sheet or Setup Guide that shipped with the printer or click Install printer and software on the Software and Documentation CD.

When Print is chosen from a software application, a dialog representing the printer driver opens. Click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup from the initial Print dialog to open Print Properties and see all of the available printer settings that may be changed. If a feature in Print Properties is unfamiliar, open the online Help for more information.

Note: Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the control panel.

Printing confidential and other held jobs

Holding jobs in the printer

When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the Print Properties that you want the printer to hold the job in memory until you start the job from the control panel. All print jobs that can be initiated by the user at the printer are called held jobs.

Note: Confidential, Repeat, Reserve, and Verify print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.
