Selecting a DOS printer driver from your software application

Most DOS software applications include an installation or setup procedure that you must perform in order to install a printer driver. During this procedure you are asked to select the appropriate driver from a list of drivers provided with the software application. Even if

you do not see a driver for the BJC-50, and this will be the case for

2

older programs, you can still use the BJC-50 printer if you select a compatible driver. To allow you to do this, the BJC-50 can operate in two modes.

•BJ mode: Emulates an IBM Proprinter X24E series printer.

•LQ mode: Emulates an Epson LQ-2550 series printer.

Some of these drivers may not allow you to take advantage of all the

BJC-50 printer features.

Here is a list of compatible printer drivers, listed in order of preference.

Priority	Printer Name	Printer Control Mode	Remark
1	BJC-50	BJ or LQ
2	BJC-80	BJ or LQ
