Printing from a Macintosh
When you print with a Macintosh, you need to check the
printer software settings for each application you use. This
section describes the settings you’ll need to choose for all your
everyday printouts. See Chapter 2 for information about
advanced settings for special print jobs.
1. Start the application you want to print from and create a
document.
2. Choose
Page Setup from the File menu. You see the Page
Setup dialog box:
3. First choose your paper feeding source. The default Paper
Source is
Auto Sheet Feeder, for the built-in sheet feeder
at the front of your printer. (For instructions on printing
with the other feeders, see Chapter 3.)
4. After selecting your paper source, choose the
Paper Size
setting, orientation, reduction or enlargement, and
printable area. (Your software application may let you
control some of these settings.)
5. Click
OK to close the Page Setup dialog box and continue.
6. Choose
Print from the File menu or click the print icon in
your application.
Click to select your
paper source
Click to select your
paper size
Note:
Whenever you change
the Paper Source, Paper
Size, or Orientation
settings, check the printer
illustration in the dialog
box to see how your
document will print.
If you load your paper
long edge first, select a
landscape paper size,
such as Letter
(Landscape), and then
select your print
orientation so the printer
knows which way you
loaded the paper.
Keep in mind that some
application software may
have paper size and
orientation settings that
override your printer
software settings.
To cancel your changes
and exit the software,
click the Cancel button at
any time.
