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.
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.
1.
Open the document you want to print from the application.
2.
Select [Print] from the [File] menu.
NOTE
In Windows 8/Server 2012, if you want to print from the Windows Store app, display the charm bar to the right of the screen, and tap [] (Devices) → the printer you are using → [Print]. When you print in this way, you can only set some of the print functions.
3.
Select your printer from [Name] -> click [Preferences] (or [Properties]).
4.
Specify the desired settings in the printer driver screen -> click [OK].
Click the tabs, and then specify the desired items.
NOTE
The [Basic Settings] tab comprises a few of the basic settings of the driver. The settings that you can configure in the [Basic Settings] tab can also be configured in other tabs.
If the machine you are using supports 2-sided printing, the default setting is 2-sided printing. If you want to print on one side of the paper, see "Configuring the Default Print Settings."
For information on available printing functions, see the online help to find what you can configure in each tab. (See "Viewing the Online Help.")
5.
Click [Print] (or [OK]).
Printing begins.
