Printing

This section explains the basic printing method using the printer driver.

NOTE
Printing methods may differ depending on the application you are using. For details, see the instruction manuals provided with the application. The display may differ according to the operating system, as well as the type and version of the printer driver. The machine may not be able to print data such as color photos if the data size of a single page is too large. If such is the case, reduce the data size by lowering the resolution or by changing the file format. If a printer icon is displayed in the task tray at the bottom right of your computer monitor, you can stop printing from your computer. Double-click the printer icon -> click the name of the file you want to stop printing -> click [Document] -> [Cancel]. In Windows 8/Server 2012, when printing from the Windows Store app, if you have previously selected settings that require input or a procedure when printing such as secure printing, edit + preview, department ID management, etc., the message [The printer requires your attention. Go to the desktop to take care of it.] is displayed. If this happens, move to the desktop and follow the instructions in the displayed dialog box.

Specify the desired settings in the printer driver screen -> click [OK].

Click the tabs, and then specify the desired items.

For information on available printing functions, view the online help to find what you can configure in each sheet. (See "Viewing the Online Help.")

Click [Print] (or [OK]).

Printing begins.
