Desktop printing

If your application program is capable of doing so, you can also print
documents without leaving the Finder, using one of the two methods
described here. These methods are particularly efficient when you have a
number of documents you want to print at once or when you are printing a
document that you have already formatted.

m Drag the icons of the documents you want to print to the desktop icon of

the printer you want to use.

or

m Select the icons of the documents you want to print and choose the Print

command from the File menu. The documents will be printed on the
default printer. (See “Switching Between Printers” later in this chapter.)

In either case, the computer will show you the Print dialog box so you can
choose printing options. Make your choices, then click the Print button.

After a few moments, the document starts to print. If the printer is off, press
the power button to turn the printer on. If background printing is turned on,
you can continue working while the document is printing. You can also
monitor and control the documents that are waiting to print. (See “Printing
While You Use Your Computer” and “Monitoring and Controlling
Background Printing” later in this chapter.)
