Summary

In this chapter, you learned a variety of basics involving printer and font management. You learned about the Print Center, which enables you to add and delete printers, select a default printer, and work with the print queues. You learned that printing from an application works the same as in traditional Mac OS. Under the File menu, Page Setup enables you to set the attributes for your page or view a summary of the attributes. Also under the File menu, Print enables you to send a job to the printer. You can also specify further options about your printout, including an output option to print to a PDF file. After learning basics about the printer, you learned how to manage fonts. You learned how to install a new font and how to use the Font panel, including using it to manage font collections. Finally, you enhanced your fonts experience by learning about input methods that make use of multilingual characters. You experimented with switching between various Roman script inputs as well as the Japanese script input.
