    Solution

      After installing the printer driver, you can now print jobs on the printer.
      This section describes the procedure for printing from an application, taking Adobe Reader 7.0 as an example.
      NOTE
      • For details on the procedures for installing the printer driver, see [Installing the Printer Driver].
      • The printing procedure may differ depending on the application you are using.

      1. Load paper in the paper cassette or manual feed slot.
      NOTE
      For details on the procedure for loading paper, see [Loading Paper in the Paper Cassette] or [Loading Paper in the Manual Feed Slot].

      2. Open the PDF file to be printed using Adobe Reader.

      3. Select [Print] from the [File] menu in the application.

      4. Select the name of this printer for [Name] or [Printer Name] (1), and then specify the printing preferences (2).

      The printer name displayed in this dialog box can be changed in the [Printers and Faxes] folder (the [Printers] folder for Windows 2000/Vista).

      5. Click [Properties].



      6. Display the [Page Setup] sheet (1), then from [Page Size], select the page size of the document created by an application (2).



      7. Select the size of the loaded paper in [Output Size] as needed.
      Leave the setting at [Match Page Size] if the page size specified for [Page Size] and the size of the paper loaded in the paper source are the same, because there is no need to change the setting in this case.


      IMPORTANT
      The print will be automatically reduced or enlarged to fit on the page when the settings for [Page Size] and [Output Size] are different.

      8. Make sure that the settings for [Output Size] and [Register Paper Sizes]* match when printing from the paper cassette.
