Printing to Laser Printers

Before you begin: Work locally. Always start by moving your file to the desktop. Opening and printing files from a USB (or other) drive can create problems.

Navigate to File>Print. Select a printer from the Printer dropdown menu. Select one of the Xerox Printers.

(Tip: if you only want black and white output, select one of the “Mono” print queues and you will be charged the cheaper black and white rate.)

(Note: these instructions are written for Mac. Most functions in Windows are very similar. There will be notes for some steps where the process differs for Windows.)
