Using the Virtual Printer
This section explains the virtual printer function.
The virtual printer is a pseudo printer that can only be recognized on a network. The virtual printer has
various print options, such as feeding tray selection and duplex printing, which you can set in advance.
You can set those options beforehand. If you use the virtual printer under UNIX, Solaris, and other operating
systems, various print functions are possible without your having to manually enter the usual print commands.
