PRINTER DRIVERS

CD1 contains the printer drivers. Please refer to the readme file on this CD for the latest information on printer driver installation.

WHICH PRINTER DRIVER?

Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and PostScript (PS). You can install either of these, or both if you wish. Which driver you choose depends on your application.

>If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript (including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver. This will be more efficient and give good results.

>If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing PostScript graphics, choose the PostScript driver. In this situation performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at their best quality.

NOTE

The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript. So if you plan to print parts of this manual choose the PostScript driver. Otherwise the line art graphics will only print at low resolution.

If your applications vary so much that neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you could choose to install both. Then select the one you plan to use most of the time to be your Windows default driver. Most applications allow you to choose a different printer from within the print dialogue, so you can print using the alternative driver whenever you need to. If you install both drivers, simply select the same printer port (LPT1 or Network Port) during the installation.

1.With Windows running, insert the printer driver CD-ROM (CD1) into your CD-ROM drive.

2.If the CD does not run automatically, use [Start]-[Run...] and enter E:\setup (where E is your CD-ROM drive) in the Open field.

3.Click on [OK].
