Specifications of Interface Driver for the KODAK MPOWER 180si Interface Kit

MPOWER Driver Features

Most Macintosh Application Packages have two menus that control the Print features:

The Print Menu (refer to Figure 7 of the User's Manual)
The Page Setup Menu (refer to Figure 8 of the User's Manual)

Both are usually located in the File Menu on the Menu bar. The MPOWER Driver offers printing features on each of these menus.

Note: These menus may vary, depending on the application software being used.

The MPOWER Driver offers the options described in this section . Other options you see in windows are being presented from your application software. To learn more about those printing functions, consult the documentation for that application.
