Printing from Mac OS

Print from the application menu after registering the printer.

Important

  • We recommend exiting unnecessary applications before printing. Running several applications while printing may interrupt the transfer of print data and affect printing quality.

Registering the printer

The printer needs to be registered in Print & Scan (identified as Printers & Scanners or Print & Fax in other versions of Mac OS X) in System Preferences before printing.

For instructions on registering printers, see "Sharing the Printer on a Network (Mac OS)."

Important

  • During this setup process, the printer will not be listed among available printers if it is off or disconnected.
