Printing
iPad can print wirelessly to AirPrint-enabled printers. You can print from the following iPad
built-in apps:
Mail—email messages and viewable attachments
Â
Photos and Camera—photos
Â
Safari—webpages, PDF files, and viewable attachments
Â
iBooks—PDF files
Â
Notes—currently displayed note
Â

Other apps available from the App Store may also support AirPrint.
An AirPrint-enabled printer doesn’t require printer software; it just needs to be connected to the
same Wi-Fi network as iPad. If you’re not sure whether your printer is AirPrint-enabled, refer to its
documentation.
