Printing

You can print documents made with applications on your computer by using the printer driver. There are useful settings in the printer driver, such as enlarging/reducing and poster printing, that enable you to print your documents in various ways. Before you can use these functions, you need to install the printer driver on your computer and complete some other preparations. For details, see Printer Driver Installation Guide.


Depending on the operating system and the type or version of the printer driver you are using, the printer driver screens in this manual may differ from your screens.
