Printing from Computer or Smartphone with Google Cloud Print

When you send print data with Google Cloud Print, the machine receives the print data and prints it automatically.

When printing from a smartphone, tablet, computer, or other external device by using Google Cloud Print, load paper into the machine in advance.

You can print with Google Cloud Print with the following two methods.

Note

  • Depending on the communication status, it may take a while to print the print data or the machine may not receive the print data.
  • While printing with Google Cloud Print, the printing may be canceled depending on the machine's status, such as when the machine is being operated or an error has occurred. To resume printing, check the machine's status and print with Google Cloud Print again.

  • For print settings:

    • If you select the media type other than plain paper or if you select the paper size other than A4 or Letter size, the print data is printed in single-sided even when you select the duplex print setting.
