Topic 6: Printing a document and quitting an application.

You've learned how to commit your documents to electronic storage. Now you will learn how to commit them to paper.

The command Print is located under the File Menu:


Here is how to Print a document:

Make sure the window containing the document you want to print is active and you have already saved the document. We shall print the document "my name " .

The document "my name"


Choose the command Print from the File Menu.



Some form of "print dialog box" should appear. In the Envision Lab, the following dialog box appears:



Click on the Print button. Note that, when you are printing an image you must click on Color/Grayscale before printing because the Envision Lab doesn't have a color printer. If you leave Black&White selected, your document may not print.
The document "my name" is now being printed.
To monitor the progress of your print job do the following:

ChoosePrint Monitor it is located under the SimpleText icon on the Menu bar in the right hand corner of the screen.



The following should appear:



Within the PrintMonitorwindow you can see that the Printing Status for the document "my name" is being processed and one page will be printed. When the printer has completed it's job the following window will appear:



You have now successfully printed your document "my name". The document will be located at the printer. Try printing the document "my name 2".

Quitting

Once you are done with any application, you must quit it. Note that unlike PCs, closing an application's window does not quit the program. The program remains in memory and can cause memory overloads. You should always QUIT applications on Macintoshes.

To quit SimpleText, choose Quit from SimpleText's File menu.

If you have not saved your most recent changes, SimpleText will ask you to save them.

What if you want to quit open applications and don't know what applications are open? Go to the upper right hand coner of the screen. Click on the icon furthest to the right. This displays as a menu all open applications. The application that has a check mark next to it indicates that it is the active application. You can bring up other open applications by choosing them from that menu. Once one of those applications is "up" you can choose Quit from its File menu.
