Printing from a PC
You can print from a PC with or without a printer driver. The supported
drivers allow you to select printing features right from your computer. Refer
to page 4-2 for a reference table of printing features and to page 4-20 for
detailed information.
Without a supported driver, you can make some printing selections from the
printer’s front panel. Refer to page 4-21 for a list of front panel selections
and to page 8-1 for instructions on using the front panel.
For information on selecting print options with utility files, refer to the
