Printing a Sample Print file

The following procedure describes how to print a Sample Print file with the PCL 5c/6 and the RPCS printer driver. For details about how to print a Sample Print file with the PostScript 3 printer driver, see PostScript 3 Supplement included as a PDF file on the CD-ROM.

Applications with their own drivers, such as PageMaker, do not support this function.
If you are using Mac OS X, you need Mac OS X v10.2 or higher version to use this function.

Configure Sample Print in the printer driver's properties.
For details about configuring the printer drivers, see the relevant Help files.
