Printing Your File

Once you have configured a printer you must still choose it as your file's destination when printing. Any files you print will be sent to the printer you choose under an application's Print Setup, which is normally found under the File drop down menu.
  1. Open the file that you plan to print.

  2. Select Print... from the File menu.

  3. You may select additional options such as double-sided printing by selecting the Layout drop-down menu.

  4. Once the print dialog box disappears, you may go to the NINJa printer station and pick up your document. Click here for more information about NINJa printing.

If You Also Have a Local Printer...

If you also have a local printer connected to your PC, you may switch between the local printer and the NINJa printer at any time simply by changing the printer setting under the application's Print Setup dialog usually found under the File drop down menu.
