Print a document from your phone or computer
Step 1 of 5: Check the printer first
Switch it on and check paper and any error light. For iPhone AirPrint, the printer must support AirPrint and share the phone’s Wi-Fi network. Android may need a supported print service or the printer maker’s app.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Open the document’s print option
Computer: use the app’s File menu and Print, or its print control. iPhone: look under Share or the app’s actions menu. Android: look under its menu, often Share then Print. Controls depend on the document app.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Select the actual printer
Read the destination name. Save as PDF creates a file rather than paper, so choose your printer if you need a printed copy. If it is missing, check the connection and the manufacturer’s instructions before repeatedly pressing Print.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Review the preview
Check orientation, page size, page range and number of copies. Choose one page for the first test. A webpage can include navigation or adverts; use a printable view if available and read the preview before confirming.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Send one job and wait
Choose Print once and watch the printer. If nothing happens, inspect the print queue or device error rather than sending duplicates. If the test is correct, print the remaining required pages using the same checked settings.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

A common question.
Can I keep a copy without printing paper?
If Save as PDF is offered, choose it and select a folder. Open the saved file afterwards to confirm it contains the pages you wanted.
