Chapter 2 - Using the Printer Printing Solutions
Pentax provides printing solutions for many different operating systems and
device types.
Device types include:
• Windows systems, Mac OS X, and Linux
• PDA Systems (Windows Mobile [Pocket PC] systems, Palm
systems, Psion/Symbian EPOC systems, and Windows CE
systems)
For most printer applications, your printer requires driver software to
communicate with your computer. A CD with drivers and installation
information is provided with your PocketJet kit. The supplied CD and the
Pentax website both list driver version numbers. If the website version is
newer (with a higher version number), we recommend that you install the
website version. Browse to the Pentax web site, www.pentaxtech.com,
and choose “PocketJet Printers and Accessories.”
Drivers that can be installed automatically, once selected from the
Installation CD’s main setup program, are:
• Windows 95/98/Me
• Windows 2000/XP/Vista
• PocketPC* applets – time trials only
• Palm OS* applets – time trials only
• Psion/Symbian (EPOC – V. 5 and V. 6)
• Windows CE
* These operating systems do not support printing without the addition of
a printing applet. Trial versions of the printing applet are supplied on
the CD and on the Pentax website. Contact the applet provider to
purchase the one you want after the trial period. PocketPC 2000 and
higher systems may use the WinCE driver if using application software
that is enabled to use it.
Note: BlackBerry devices are supported through 3rd-party support and
require Bluetooth compatibility. See www.pentaxtech.com for
more information.
Drivers that must be installed manually from the CD are:
• Linux – see the Read Me instructions in CD directory.
• Mac OSX – see the Read Me instructions in CD directory.
