Sending a job to print An MFP driver is software that lets your computer communicate with the MFP. When you choose Print from a software application, a window representing the MFP driver opens. You can then select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to the MFP. Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the MFP control panel. You may need to click Properties or Setup from the initial Print dialog to see all of the available MFP settings you can change. If you are not familiar with a feature in the MFP driver window, open the online Help for more information. To support all the MFP features, use the Lexmark custom drivers supplied with the MFP. Updated drivers, as well as a complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the Lexmark Web site. To print a job from a typical Windows application: 1 Open the file you want to print. 2 From the File menu, select Print. 3 Select the MFP in the dialog. Modify the MFP settings as appropriate (such as the pages you want to print or the number of copies). 4 Click Properties or Setup to adjust MFP settings that were not available on the first screen, and then click OK. 5 Click OK or Print to send the job to the MFP.

Sending a job to print
An MFP driver is software that lets your computer communicate with the MFP. When you choose
Print
from a software
application, a window representing the MFP driver opens. You can then select the appropriate settings for the specific job
you are sending to the MFP. Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the MFP
control panel.
You may need to click
Properties
or
Setup
from the initial Print dialog to see all of the available MFP settings you can
change. If you are not familiar with a feature in the MFP driver window, open the online Help for more information.
To support all the MFP features, use the Lexmark custom drivers supplied with the MFP. Updated drivers, as well as a
complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the Lexmark Web site.
To print a job from a typical Windows application:
1
Open the file you want to print.

Print
.
3
