Sending a job to print

An MFP driver is software that lets your computer communicate with the MFP. When you choose Print from a software application, a window representing the MFP driver opens. You can then select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to the MFP. Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the MFP control panel.

You may need to click Properties or Setup from the initial Print dialog to see all of the available MFP settings you can change. If you are not familiar with a feature in the MFP driver window, open the online Help for more information.

To support all the MFP features, use the Lexmark custom drivers supplied with the MFP. Updated drivers, as well as a complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the Lexmark Web site.To support all the MFP features, use the custom MFP drivers supplied with the MFP.
