Chapter 2: User Setup Utility

In addition to the Windows 3.1 driver, the 3.5” floppy disk drive that comes with this printer also contains a User Setup Utility that gives you total control over a variety of printing features and functions. In this chapter you will learn about:

Installing the User Setup Utility

Starting up the User Setup Utility

Editing setup data

Saving and loading and setup data

Exiting the User Setup Utility and sending the settings to the printer

Important!

All the procedures in this chapter assume that you are using a mouse and that you are familiar with common mouse operations like click and double-click. If you need information on mouse operations, see your computer manual. If you want to operate the User Setup Utility without using a mouse (using function keys, arrow keys, and the tab key) refer to the key function explanations at the bottom of each User Setup Utility screen.

Installing the User Setup Utility

Insert the disk that contains the User Setup Utility into one of your computer’s disk drives. This explanation assumes you are using the A: drive, but you could use any drive. Just remember to change the “A:” drive name specifications in the following steps to the name of the drive you are using.

Important!

Note that you cannot use a mouse to navigate inside the User Setup Utility installation screens. Instead, you must use the arrow, Enter, backspace, and Delete keys as noted on the installation screens and in the following procedures.
