Printing with your Lomond printer
This section contains all the information you need to obtain an optimum printout, including
detailed information on the printing process.
Once you have set up your Lomond printer (see
Setting up your Lomond printer
on page 16),
you may print from any Windows application that uses the standard Windows printing
system.
All examples in this section have been obtained using the
Windows 7
operating system. In other
Windows operating systems, screens may look different and options documented here may not be
available or may be labelled differently to what is described here.

Getting ready to print
Before you start to print with your Lomond printer, ensure that your printer is switched on,
the power lamp is lit and steady, and the
Ready
message is displayed on the LCD screen.
If you find the printer is not ready to print, refer to the
Common printer messages and alerts
section on page 70 for possible causes and solutions.
If you cannot fix the problem, follow the instructions in the
Troubleshooting
section on page
94 until the
Ready
message appears on the LCD screen.
Once you are ready to print:
•
choose your paper.
•
issue a Print command from your application.
•
select your print options.
Before issuing a Print command, you may find it useful to know how to:
•
print a test page
(see page 54)
•
cancel a print job
(see page 56)
Choosing your paper
Check that you have the appropriate paper for the task.
The Lomond printer has been designed to print on plain paper, but more demanding
documents may require higher grade paper.
Always test your paper first to see if it meets your expectations.
To find out more about paper selection, see the
Paper
section on page 88.
To find out more about how to feed your selected paper into the printer, see
Loading paper
on
page 21.
Print dialog box
You may issue a Print command from any Windows application. Most Print commands will
bring up a Print dialog box, which will allow you to choose the printer and customise the
printout.
