CHAPTER 3BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER

SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY

Before working with your application software, you need to set up or
install the printer driver in your software. Locate the printers that your
application software supports and install the desired printer driver. Each
software package differs in the way the printer driver is selected. Read
the software manual and follow the setup or installation procedures.
Be sure to select the printer emulation mode that matches the installed
printer driver. This printer emulates particular printer models of the
following manufacturers. Since this printer has been factory set with the
automatic emulation selection on, you may not need to select the
emulation mode. When necessary, select the appropriate printer
emulation mode with the panel switches according to the printer driver
installed in your application software. See “CHAPTER 4 CONTROL
PANEL.”

To get the most out of this printer, you need to install the printer driver
for this printer or the HP LaserJet 4 and select the HP LaserJet 4
emulation mode: this is the best combination. When any other HP
LaserJet series printer driver is installed, select the HP LaserJet 4
emulation mode. When any other printer driver is installed, select the
HP-GL, EPSON, or IBM emulation mode according to the installed
printer driver.
An asterisk (*) indicates the best or recommended combination of the
printer driver and emulation mode. Be sure to use any of these best or
recommended combinations if circumstances permit. When an
emulation mode other than the HP mode is selected, the printout may
differ slightly from the printout that the target printer produces.
For Windows 3.1 users, to get the best performance from your printer,
install the driver supplied with your printer.
