Selecting a printer and print options

Unless you choose otherwise, documents you create are formatted for your default printer. If you use a USB printer, it's selected by default in the Print dialog.

Selecting a printer

To select a printer:
1 Choose Print from the File menu.
2 Select a printer from the Printer pop-up menu.
If the printer you want is not listed, use Print Center to add it to the Printer List. See the Mac OS X onscreen help for more information about adding a printer.
3 Click Print.
Different printers have different margin capabilities. If you've changed to a different type of printer, you are prompted to verify Page Setup options.

Note: To choose a default printer, open Print Center, select a printer, and choose Make Default from the Printers menu. See the Mac OS X onscreen help for more information about choosing a default printer.
