Quick Print, specifically in the context of handling email attachments as described, is a convenient feature designed to send documents directly to your printer with minimal steps. It streamlines the printing process by bypassing typical print dialogue windows.
Understanding Quick Print for Email Attachments
This functionality is built for speed when you need a physical copy of an attachment from an email without needing to first open the file in its associated application or configure specific print settings.
The Email Attachment Quick Print Process
Based on the process described, here’s how it works when printing an attachment directly from an email:
- You must first open the email message that contains the attachment you wish to print.
- Below the message header within the email interface, locate and select the attachment icon. This action typically presents you with various options for handling the attachment, such as saving, opening, or printing.
- From the options provided after selecting the icon, choose Quick Print.
What Happens When You Use Quick Print?
Upon selecting Quick Print, the system takes the attachment file and immediately sends it to your computer's designated default printer.
Key aspects of this process include:
- Direct Transfer: The attachment file is sent straight into the printing queue without requiring manual intervention via a standard print dialogue box.
- Uses Default Settings: The print job will be executed using the preferences currently configured for your default printer. This includes settings like paper size, print quality, orientation, and color versus black and white.
- Bypasses Preview/Dialogue: You typically do not see a print preview or have the opportunity to make specific adjustments to the print job settings before it starts.
This method is particularly useful for quickly obtaining a hard copy of a document when the default print settings are sufficient and no specific formatting or page range selection is needed.
