Printing Flow With This Machine

Printing With a Printer Driver

Normally, the series of operations involved in printing data from a computer is

specified by control commands generated using a printer driver. Control commands

are a command system for controlling a printer. For example, when printing using a

printer driver, control commands print data according to the following flow.

NOTE

There are some print settings that cannot be specified from the printer driver. These

settings are referred to as "Menu Functions" on the touch panel display. For menu

configuration and how to set up the printer environment from the touch panel display, see

"Menus for Printer Settings," on p. 1-8 and "Accessing the Printer Settings Menu," on p.

1-9.

a Using a printer driver, data to be printed is converted to control commands.

b Control command data is sent to the machine.

c Following the received control commands, the machine processes and prints

the data.
