    The Chooser dialog box will appear.

  2. From the AppleTalk Zones listing, select the printer you are connected to

  3. To choose a printer type, from printer icon listing, select the appropriate printer icon
    The selected printer is now the default printer.

Number of Copies
To print more than one copy of the document, make sure that the box to the right of Copies is highlighted (if not press the [Tab] key until it is) and type the number of copies you want.  

Pages

  • To print every page of the document, under Pages, select All.

  • To print only part of the document, select Ranges.
    In the text box to the right, type the page number of the first page to print, followed by a hyphen and the last page to be printed.

  • To print nonconsecutive pages, type in the pages you wish to print and separate them with commas.
    Example: to print pages 1-14 of a document, type: 1-14
    To print pages 1, 5, and 7-9 type: 1,5,7-9
