Printing a Document
N OTES :
• Your printer driver Properties window that appears in this
User’s Guide may differ depending on the printer in use.
However the composition of the printer properties window is
similar.
• Check the Operating System(s) that are compatible
with your printer. Please refer to the OS Compatibility
section of Printer Specifications in your Printer User’s
Guide.
• If you need to know the exact name of your printer, you can
check the supplied CD-ROM.

an exclamation mark or mark. An exclamation mark
means you can select that certain option but it is not
recommended, and
mark means you cannot select that
option due to the machine’s setting or environment.
