Printing from a Macintosh
When you set up a new printer for your Macintosh, you need to
check the printer driver settings for documents in each
application you use. After you click the print icon or choose
Print from the File menu, you see dialog boxes that let you
choose the settings that describe your print job—such as
whether you want to use color or black ink or the number of
copies.
This section describes the preferences you’ll need to set for all
your everyday printouts. See Chapter 2 for information about
advanced settings for special print jobs.
Follow these steps to check printer settings from your word
processor or other Macintosh software:
1. Choose
Page Setup from the File menu. You see the Page
Setup dialog box.
2. Choose your paper size and other page setup options and
click
OK.
3. Choose
Print from the File menu or click the print icon in
your application. You see a dialog box like the following:
4. Choose the number of copies and indicate which pages you
want to print.
Note:
On the Macintosh, printer
settings are saved with
your document, but you
can’t save them from one
application to another.
You’ll have to check
your settings each time
you print from a new
application. If you want
to reuse settings, you
can create document
templates for your favorite
applications.
