Setting up printers and plotters

Printers and plotters are handled by drivers supplied by their manufacturers. You must have the correct driver installed for the printer or plotter to work correctly.

To set up a printer or plotter:

1. In Windows click Start > Devices and Printers, or click the Windows button and select Settings > Devices.

   • The Devices and Printers window of the Control Panel is displayed.

2. Click Add a printer to display the Add Printer Wizard.

3. Use the Wizard to install your driver.

Once you have set up your printers and plotters in your operating system, they are automatically available in PowerShape.

1. Start PowerShape.

2. Select File > Print > Print Set-up to display the Page Setup dialog.

3. On the dialog, click the Printer button to display the Print Setup dialog.

5. Use this dialog to change basic properties of the selected printer, such as Paper Size.

6. For further options, click the Properties button to display the Document Properties dialog to change the settings.

7. Click OK to accept the changes and close the dialog.
