Special conditions of use

Preliminary printer setup is required.

When using the “File print" action with pdf files, printing problems may occur. The reason for this is that there is no default program for working with pdf format.

Recommendations: in this case, one option is to use a free program to work with such files: Adobe - https://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions.  After installing, set it as a default program. You can do this in settings: "Default apps" > "Choose default apps by file type" > Find a PDF-file and select Adobe.
