Printer command languages

This printer can receive data and interpret command languages through two standard command interpreters and also by directly using your computer's processing power. Those languages are 1) PostScript; 2) PCL and 3) Windows Direct.

It is strongly recommended that you use permanent virtual memory, rather than tempo- rary. This can be changed through the Control Panel by following the steps below.

If you have not already designated the amount of virtual memory needed to run this printer with the current amount of RAM on your computer, or if you wish to convert to permanent virtual memory, do it now by using the Control Panel. These instructions assume that your system has a minimum of 4 MB of RAM and is running Windows 3.1 in Enhanced mode.

Steps:

1.Switch to the Program Manager.

2.Double-click on the Main group icon in the Program Manager.

3.Double-click on the Control Panel icon in the Main group.

4.Double-click on the 386 Enhanced icon.

5.Click on the Virtual Memory button.

6.If the type is Temporary or None, click on the Change button.

7.Select Permanent from the Type menu under New Settings. (An X should appear in this box.)
