# BASIC PRINTING

## Overview

The following example explains how to print a document from the standard accessory application "TextEdit" in Mac OS X.

- To install the PPD file and configure printer driver settings, see "3. SETUP IN A MACINTOSH ENVIRONMENT" in the Software Setup Guide.
- The menu used to execute printing may vary depending on the application such as [Print].
- The machine name that normally appears in the "Printer" menu is [SCxxxxxx]. ("xxxxxx" is a sequence of characters that varies depending on the machine model.)

## Operation
