Operating Your Laser Printer Should Be Quick And Easy

Many laser printers and copy equipment have a lot of the same basic options and settings. It’s good to get to know your machine before you put it to work. You can achieve this by locating the manual and reading about how to operate the printer. If you are not able to find the instructions, a google search using the model name or number will allow you to read online. Operating the basic functions of a laser printer is not too difficult at all.

First you load the paper in the tray with all the text facing up. Once you have the paper positioned correctly in the copy machine, you want to go to the control panel and select copy. The control panel will usually shoot a few options at you due to it being multifaceted (laser printer, scanner, fax, copy, etc.). Make sure to pay attention to the paper size. In most cases the copy machine will display a few options. Select the right paper size, if it is not already selected by default, and then select whether it should print out on a single side or double side. In some cases the laser printer will allow you to select if you want the print out to be hole punched or stapled. Once you have all the correct settings, you’re ready to print.

If you want to have multiple copies to print out, first type in the number you want to print into the control panel. So if you want 25, input the number 25 using the pad, and you should see the numbers in the top right corner usually. If you make a mistake and hit the wrong button, most copy machines will have either a standard backspace button, or clear all. Hit start, and you are all set. If you want to print in color, maybe for a flier or whatever you have going on, all you have to do is load the colored paper in the paper tray. It’s also a good idea to send a memo, to the others in the office, to not print on the printer that you are using while you are printing with colored paper.
