Microsoft Word Printing

Microsoft Word
Print settings
When you go to the print options in the file tab, you can change several of the page layout and printing
options. For instance, you can choose whether your document prints in colour and on both sides of the
page.
Changing the selected printer
The default printer in MMU is the black-and-white multifunctional device. Prints sent to this queue can be
picked up from any printer around the university. You may need to change the printer to print a document
in colour or to use a university computer to print on your home printer.
To select a different printer:
• Click the file tab on the ribbon
• Select print from the navigation bar on the left of the screen
• Click the printer drop down menu
• Choose a printer from the available list
Note: the default printer will have a tick next to it, this is the printer that Word will use if you do not change
the selected printer.
Colour printing within MMU
Click the printer drop
down menu to see a
list of available printers
Select a printer from the available
list – this is the colour print queue
The default printer is the black-and-white
If the printer you want
to use is not listed, you
can add it from here
When printing within MMU you will need to ensure that you select the relevant print cluster. This means
that you can then print your document off from any shared printer within the university. Select SC-Mono on
print-cluster for black and white or SC-Colour on print-cluster for colour. To get colour prints, you also
need to make sure you collect coloured documents from a colour printer.
