8 Activity Guide
Print a PowerPoint Presentation From a
Windows-based Computer
In this activity you will print a PowerPoint presentation on the bizhub PRO C500
printer from a Windows®-based computer.
Procedure
To print a file from a Windows-based computer, you first need to add the IC-301
print controller virtual printer to your computer. Then you can print to that printer
from any application on your computer. Alternatively, you can print a job directly
to a hot folder.
This activity includes three main steps:
Step 1: Adding a Virtual Printer to Your Computer
Step 2: Printing From Your Computer via the Virtual Printer
Step 3: Printing From Your Computer via a Hot Folder
Step 1: Adding a Virtual Printer to Your Computer
Before you can print from your computer, you have to add the IC-301 print
controller as a virtual printer on your computer. The IC-301 print controller comes
with three default virtual printers:
• Print: Automatically processes the files and sends them to the printer.
• Process: Automatically processes the files and stores them. You can later submit
the jobs to print or change the parameters of a job and resubmit it for
processing.
• Store: Automatically stores the files without processing them.
