Q-01

How can I print out?

Please download and install Adobe Reader from the website of Adobe Systems Inc.

In case the printout does not come out right, change the setting to improve the quality of printout. Some troubles with printing may be resolved by going to [File] >> [Print] and checking off [Print as Image]. Try this if only certain pages cannot be printed out correctly.

Are all printer settings correctly made? Please confirm the following and try printing again.
- Is [Fit to Paper] selected for Page Scaling?
- Are the document size and the paper size corresponding?
- Is off-set setting (margin, binding margin) turned OFF?
If all of the above doesn't resolve the problem, please contact the printer maker.
