Usage

To use a printer, place it adjacently but not diagonally next to a computer (left, right, top, bottom, front, or back side). Place any color ink in the single left slot, and paper in any of the top slots.

If you are using blocks to pull/insert items from the printer the diffrent slots are avaible from these sides: Paper tray is accessible from the top, output paper tray is accessible from the front or bottom, and the ink slot is accessible from the back or sides.
