Selecting a printer and print options

Selecting a printer

    You must select a printer the first time you use it, even if it's the only printer available. If you have access to more than one printer, follow the same steps to switch printers.

    To select a printer:
    1 Choose Chooser from the Apple menu.
    2 If your computer is part of a network, select the zone that contains the printer you want to use.
    3 Select the printer type and, for some types of printers, the printer name.
    Because different printers have different margin capabilities, if you've changed to a different type of printer, you are prompted to verify Page Setup options.

    Tip: With some system software, you can specify a different printer in the Print dialog box or with the Control Strip, as long as you're choosing the same type of printer.

Selecting print options

    To set the print options for a document:
    Choose Page Setup from the File menu and select print options.
    Tip: For an explanation of the options in the Page Setup dialog box, choose Show Balloons from the Help menu.
