Printing from DOS Applications

While your printer is primarily a Windows printer, you can also print from a DOS software program using the Remote Control Panel utility provided in the supplied software CD-ROM.

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 programs. The 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 programs.

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 programs. Printer drivers are supplied by the manufacturers of your DOS software programs. If your DOS software program does not include a printer driver for your printer, contact the manufacturer of the software program or use one of the alternate printer drivers.

Installing the Remote Control Panel

The Remote Control Panel utility is provided on the printer software CD-ROM.

1Place the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. Installation will start automatically.

If the CD-ROM drive does not automatically run:

Select Run from the Start menu, and type x:\cdsetup.exe in the Open box (where x is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive), and click OK.
