When you need to get a copy of a case on someone’s desk and you’re anywhere but attached to a printer, the WestlawNext™ iPad app will come to your rescue.

You can access your research on the go, — in client meetings, in court, and everywhere in between, — and send your documents to a wireless printer.

Once you have located the document you want to print, tap Tools. Then tap Prepare to Print.

A box will appear to notify you that the document is being prepared for printing.

Once the document is prepared, a printer icon will appear and glow.

Click

• Select your printer
• Choose a range of pages to print and the number of copies.

A box appears notifying you that the print job was successfully sent to your printer.
