Printing from a Macintosh
When you set up a new printer for your Macintosh, you need to
check the page setup for documents in each application you use.
You can then click the print icon or choose
Print from the File
menu. You see a dialog box that lets you choose which pages to
print, the number of copies, and other options. The settings
that describe your print job—whether you want to use color or
black ink, for example—are part of your printer driver software.
This section describes the settings you’ll need to check for all
your everyday printouts. See Chapter 3 for information about
advanced settings for special print jobs.
