The printer drivers are on the installer CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the drivers by following the Quick Setup Guide.
Printing Printing a document 2 When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper tray.

Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the stack.
Printing Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing 2 Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during the computer printing.
