Setting up for printing with MS-DOS

To print from an application running under MS-DOS, you must first select the printer from within the application. Typically, the program will feature an INSTALL or SETUP command for selection of printers. Refer to the manual for the application you are using for details on how to select a printer for it.

Note:

Remember that you must select a printer for each individual application before you can print from it.

Start up the application and use the correct procedure for that application to select a printer. The following is a list of printers that can be used. If your application lists more than one of these, select the printer that is nearest to the top of this list.

Star LC-90 / NX-1010

Star LC-100 / NX-1040

Star LC-10 / NX-1000

Epson FX-850

Epson EX-800

Epson LX-850 / LX-810

To print, follow the instructions given in the manual of the application you are using. Typically, you would select the application’s PRINT command, make any necessary changes in the window that appears (such as the number of copies to be printed), and then press the RETURN key to start printing.
