Printing from a Macintosh

To print a job from a Macintosh software application, first
select the printer then use the Print command in the File
menu.
Important
Before you start a print job on the computer, close any
software applications running in the background.
Another program running in the background could
break the flow of print data and temporarily stop the
printer or cause poor print quality.
Note
For more details about how to use the printer driver,
please refer to the online Help of the printer driver.
