4.3 Printer Drivers

Printer driver is a software acting under MS-Windows 3.X, 95/98, NT 3.51, or NT 4.0 and provides the printer with

the information which can be read by the printer. Internal values of printer environments can be specified by the

printer driver, and the user can specify paper size, resolution and/or other selectable values.

To use the printer driver, the computer and its operating environments must be as follows:

• IBM PC/AT or compatible

• Microsoft Windows 3.X, 95/98, NT 3.51, or NT 4.0

• VGA (640 x 400) or higher display

• Hard disk drive installed (2 MB essential for a printer driver)

• 3.5” double-sided high density (2HD) floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive

The PrintPartner 20W comes with the following printer drivers:

• Standard drivers for Windows 3.X

• Standard drivers for Windows 95/98

• Standard drivers for Windows NT 3.51

• Standard drivers for Windows NT 4.0

In addition, the PrintPartner 20W comes with the following printer drivers:

• FPS drivers for Windows 95/98

• FPS drivers for Windows NT 4.0

This section shows the settings of each driver, excluding the standard drivers for Windows 3.X. (The settings of the

standard driver for Windows 3.X are simpler than those of the standard drivers for Windows 95/98, the successor of

Windows 3.X.)

An asterisk (*) indicates a default option.
