Introduction to Using Print Functions

Introduction to Using Print Functions
Normally, the series of operations involved in printing data from a computer is specified by
control commands generated using a printer driver. Control commands are a command
system for controlling a printer. For example, when printing using a printer driver, control
commands print data according to the following flow.
① Using a printer driver, data to be printed is converted to control commands.
② Control command data is sent to the machine.
③ Following the received control commands, the machine processes and prints the data.
To print in the following printer modes, a Printer Driver supported by this machine must be
installed.
For installing the driver to send a print job to the machine over a network, see "Network
Connection" in the Starter Guide.
For installing the driver to send a print job directly from your Computer to the machine, see
"USB Connection" in the Starter Guide.
