Printing from Windows applications
After you have connected the printer to your computer and installed and set
up the printer software, you’re ready to start printing. This section explains the
basic steps required to print a document, though the details can vary from one
program to another. To find out more about printing from your programs,
read the documentation that came with them. If you have Windows NT, print
using the TCP/IP protocol or using AppleTalk protocol. See your Windows NT
manual for information on configuring.
To print a document from a Windows program, the program must be open
and the document window must be active.
1 Choose Print from the File menu.
In most cases a Print dialog box appears in which you can select options,
including the number of copies and the pages to print. Depending on your
program, the Print dialog box may offer other options.
2 Select the options you want and click Print.
A message appears while the document is queued to the Print Manager. After
the message disappears, you can go on with your work while your document
is being printed.
Setting printer driver options
You can change the PostScript Printer Driver default options. For example,
you can change the preset paper orientation to Portrait or Landscape.
You set printer options in the printer driver Setup dialog box, which you can
open in three ways, as explained in the sections that follow:
m from the Control Panel
m from your application
m from the Print Manager
Note: When changing options to print a specific document, it’s preferable to
change the options from within the application. Settings you change from
within an application will affect that document only and not all documents
printed afterward. Settings you change in an application’s Print dialog box
override print options you set in the Setup dialog box.
