Printing from Computer or Smartphone with Google Cloud Print

When you send print data with Google Cloud Print, the printer 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 printer 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 printer may not receive the print data.
  • While printing with Google Cloud Print, the printing may be canceled depending on the printer's status, such as when the printer is being operated or an error has occurred. To resume printing, check the printer'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/Letter/B5/A5-size, the print data is printed in single-sided even when you select the duplex print setting.
    • If you select plain paper as media type or if you select B5/A5/Legal-size as paper size, the print data is printed with border even when you select the borderless print setting.
    • The print results may differ from the print image depending on the print data.
    • Depending on the device sending the print data, you may not select the print settings when sending the print data with Google Cloud Print.
