Printing DOS in a Window

Your DocuPrint C8 printer software includes a utility called the DOS Control Panel.

You can use this utility to print from applications that do not have a printer driver or to print files directly from DOS in a Window.

For applications that include a printer driver selection, the C8 is compatible with all PCL3c printers.

Using the DOS Control Panel, you can change character sets, fonts, landscape or portrait layouts, and other settings.

To install the Xerox DOS Control Panel on your computer:

1.Insert the Docuprint C8 CD into your CD drive (i.e. D drive).

2.The autorun sequence will be initiated and the autorun banner will be displayed.

3.A Window will be displayed asking you to select a language. Select the appropriate language, and then select “OK.”
