About the Remote Control Panel

DOS users have access to many printer features through specific DOS printer drivers; however, many software manufactures do not develop printer drivers for their software programmes. Your printer provides the software control panel for improved printer control when DOS printer drivers are not available or when certain print settings are not available through DOS software programmes.

NOTE: The printer’s Remote Control Panel is not a printer driver. It should be used to set print settings that are not available through DOS software programmes. Printer drivers are supplied by the manufacturers of your DOS software programmes. If your DOS software Programme does not include a printer driver for your printer, contact the manufacturer of the software or use one of the alternate printer drivers.

Installing the Remote Control Panel

1Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

The CD-ROM should automatically run and an maintenance window appears.

If the maintenance window does not appear, click Start and then Run. Type X:\Setup.exe, replacing “X” with the letter of your drive and click OK.

2Click Next.

3Select Custom installation. Click Next.

4Select your printer and click Next.

NOTEs: If your printer is not already connected to the computer, the following window will appear.

•After connecting the printer, click Next.
