11) The first print in the package will be the #1 hot key and the second package will be the number 2 hot key, the third package will be the number 3 key, and so on. In this case the 4×6 is the number 1 key and the 5×7 is the number 2 key. You can change the order by selecting the Move Package Up or Move Package Down button.

Click on the “photoworkshop” tab
Select a picture. Click on the #1 key, a dialog box will pop up. The next number you select will be the quantity of prints to be made. If you press the number “2” key on the keyboard or click 2 on the computer screen – two prints will be made. If you press the #1 key, one print will be made.

Please note – the dialog box will pop up, but the printer must be connected, turned on, enabled, and have the correct size of media installed in order for a print to be made.
