1. Open the file that you plan to print.

2. Select Print... from the File menu.
3. Pick the printer you wish to print to from the drop down printer name menu. You may also select other options such as Duplex here.

   

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 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.
