Selecting the correct driver

Before creating any documents in your application you should select the DP-5000 printer driver which you in- stalled from the CD-ROM. If you want to print docu- ments created when this printer driver was not selected, first select the DP-5000 printer in the Chooser menu, then choose Page Setup from your application’s File menu. Finally change the application’s page format and other settings if needed.

Follow the steps below to select the correct printer driv- er.

1.From the Apple menu, select the Chooser.

2.Click on the DP-5000 printer driver icon on the left side of the screen. The box on the right dis- plays the SCSI device number of the printer.

Note:

Make sure the device number in the Select a SCSI port box is highlighted. If it is not, your printer is not being recognised. Click on the device number a few times. If it is still not highlighted, it is possible that the Finder has insufficient memory. In this case, close the Chooser, run any one of your application programs, and select the printer from the Chooser again.

3.If you have several identical printers connected, click on the SCSI device number of the printer you will use. The factory device setting is #6. To change SCSI device numbers, see ‘Specifications and Settings’ in Chapter 8.

Note 2:

Immediately following installation, background print- ing is turned off. Click on the On button to enable background printing. Background printing will not be available if you did not install the Queue Kit software.

4.Click on the Close box to close the Chooser.
