Printing out your documents

Printing documents is dependent on your operating sys- tem (Windows or MS-DOS).

In Windows

Unless you select otherwise in the application, Windows applications always print to the current Windows Default Printer. You have probably already made the LC24-30 Colour the Default Printer when you installed the printer driver file, (see page 15 of Chapter 2). If you did not, you can set it as follows:

. Double-click the Control Panel icon in the Main win- dow.

. Double-click the Printers icon

. Make sure LC24-30 Colour is selected in the Installed Printers list.

. Click on Set As Default Printer.

. Click on Close to return to the Control Panel win- dow.

To print from your application, select Print from the File menu. Make the desired on-screen selections, such as the number of copies, and click on OK.

In MS-DOS

To print from an MS-DOS application, you first need to select the printer you are going to use from within the application itself. The way in which you do this depends on the application. Refer to the application’s manual. Typically, the program will feature an INSTALL or SETUP command that allows you to select from a list of possible printers.
