Printing from Computer or Smartphone with Google Cloud Print

When you send print data with Google Cloud Print, the printer receives the print data and prints it automatically if the printer is turned on.

When printing from a smartphone, tablet, computer, or other external device by using Google Cloud Print, load paper into the printer in advance.

Sending the Print Data with Google Cloud Print

  1. Make sure that the printer is turned on

    Note

    • If you want to send the print data from an outside location, turn on the printer in advance.

  2. Send print data from your smartphone, tablet, or computer

    The figure below is an example of when printing from the web browser corresponding with Google Cloud Print. The screen differs depending on the applications or services supporting Google Cloud Print.

    When the preparation for printing with Google Cloud Print is complete and when the printer is turned on, the printer receives the print data and prints it automatically.

Note

  • If the firmware version is Ver. 2.010 or later, you can select which printer to use.
    For the printing method, you can also select using the local network or using the cloud.
  • Depending on the communication status, it may take a while to print the print data or the printer may not receive the print data.
  • While printing with Google Cloud Print, the printing may be canceled depending on the printer's status, such as when the printer is being operated or an error has occurred. To resume printing, check the printer's status, then print with Google Cloud Print again.

  • For print settings:

    • If you select the media type other than plain paper or if you select the paper size other than A4/Letter/B5/A5-size, the print data is printed in single-sided even when you select the duplex print setting. (* The paper size differs depending on the model of your printer. For information about the supported paper sizes, go to the Online Manual home page, and refer to the "Cannot Print Properly with Automatic Duplex Printing" for your model.)
    • If you select plain paper as media type or if you select B5/A5/Legal-size as paper size, the print data is printed with border even when you select the borderless print setting.
    • The print results may differ from the print image depending on the print data.
    • Depending on the device sending the print data, you may not select the print settings when sending the print data with Google Cloud Print.
