It so happened that buying a computer, we certainly think about the fact that you need to purchase a printer. This is not surprising, because the need to print something arises every day. This is a term paper, an interesting screenshot of your favorite game, various photos. One word of work for the printer is more than enough. Another thing is that not every person, especially in age, knows how to properly use all this equipment, and even more so different software. Let's try to deal with all these issues in more detail.
How to print a picture from a computer?
In order to print a picture on your computer, you need to do the following procedure:
- Connect the printer to the mains.
- Check whether the printing device is connected to the computer. If the device is connected, make sure the drivers are installed for it. Without them, printing will not be possible. Drivers can be installed from the disk that comes with the device. If the disk is lost or damaged, then you need to visit the website of the printer manufacturer and select your hardware model to download the necessary software.
After all the preparatory work is completed, you can proceed to printing what is needed. In principle, the Windows system provides quite a few possibilities for storing a digital image on a solid medium.
The simplest thing is to open the desired image for viewing in the "Windows Photo Viewer".
In this program, you can not only view the image, but also make some simple actions with it.
To print a picture from this program, it is necessary to open the menu “Print"And already in this menu, select"Print". Or press the key combination Ctrl + P.
You can not open this program to print the image. It is enough to select the desired file in any folder and right-click to bring up the context menu on it.
In this menu, you will need to find the item "Print". It makes no difference how you proceed, first way or second. The result of your actions will be a call to the print dialog.
The first thing you need to select the printer on which to print images. Even if you have only one printer, go to the drop-down list and make sure that the selection is correct.
REFERENCE! The fact is that many programs create their own virtual printers in the system. The next step is to choose the paper size on which the print will be made.
Considering the fact that there are a huge number of formats and in Windows they are presented both in the GOST system and in the North American standard, in order to make it easier to navigate, use the format table.
Once the format is sorted out, you must select a layout for printing.
At the same time, you can specify the number of copies of the image that you want to print. And the final of all operations will be pressing the button "Print«.
How to increase or decrease the size
Very often there is a question of reducing or increasing the size of the image before printing. There are several options and it all depends on how and in which program the printing of pictures takes place. The most elementary option, if you print from Word.
In order to change the size in this program, select the desired image with the mouse.
Please note that special markers have appeared around the perimeter. They are used for resizing, as well as for rotation.
It is enough to grab one of the markers with the mouse and drag it downwards or downwards.
But often the printing is not from this program. What to do in such cases? The best software for working with graphic images consider Photochop. But not everyone has this software on the computer and not everyone knows how to use it.
REFERENCE! To resize the image, you can use Internet services.
This is very convenient if the preparation for work is conducted for example from a smartphone or tablet. In fact, even being in nature, you can not only take a picture, but having access to the network can bring all the images to the same format.
To do this, first of all, you need to go to the site. In the working field you need to select the desired picture.
Please note that the service has several tabs. Working with the “Proportional” tab, all image dimensions are changed at once using the slider. On the “Disproportionate” tab, you can change the width and height separately.
The remaining tabs are clear in their name. The service allows you to upload multiple images at once, and the sizes can be changed in batches.
How to change the orientation before printing on a printer
Sometimes there are situations that before printing it is necessary to change the orientation of the image. The easiest way to do this in the same image viewer, which is included in the standard delivery of Windows.
After the image is open, you need to use the arrow keys. They allow you to turn the image sequentially. Depending on which button you press, the rotation will be clockwise or counterclockwise. To save the result of work - just close the program. All changes will be automatically saved.
Concluding our conversation, I would like to recommend the following. For high-quality printing of images, whether they are pictures downloaded from the Internet, or photographs taken at a picnic, it is best to use the software that comes with the printer. Typically, this software is designed specifically for printing photos, so it has a very clear and friendly interface, as well as many settings. Thanks to this advanced functionality, even a little knowledgeable person can print out a photo on a professional level without much difficulty.
