Print from a Windows computer

The device comes with printer drivers that the computer uses to communicate with the device. Printer
drivers provide access to device features, such as printing on custom-sized paper, resizing documents,
and inserting watermarks.

The printer drivers include online Help that has instructions for common printing tasks and also describes
the buttons, checkboxes, and drop-down lists that are in the printer driver.

NOTE:

Make sure that the device is available in the list of printers before sending a print job to the

device.
