Star Micronics LC24-300 user manual Setting up the printer in Windows

If your software doesn’t list printer names, but asks you questions about your printer, you should answer “Yes” to the following two questions:

●

●

“Can your printer perform a backspace?”

“Can your printer do a hardware form feed?”

The answers to any other questions are not so impor- tant. Answer these using the default settings in the software.

When you’ve set up your software, try a few test prints, using features like bold, italic, etc. to see how it works. If you find you have problems making your software work with your hardware, the best source of help is usually your software supplier.

Setting up the printer in Windows

The LC24-300 Colour is ideally suited for use with com- puters running Microsoft Windows system software. It works best with Windows version 3.1 or later. If you are running an earlier version of Windows, we recommend you upgrade your computer to the latest version. In par- ticular, this will allow you to use the 15 TrueType fonts included on the floppy disk packaged with this printer.

To use the printer with Windows, you need to install a file known as the printer driver file onto your computer. This file is supplied on the floppy disk packaged with the printer.

The following description assumes that you are using a mouse. (Click and doubZe-cZickrefer to the action of using the mouse to point at an item with the on-screen pointer, and then pressing the left mouse button either once, or twice in quick succession.)

If you are not using a mouse, you can still carry out the installation. Refer to the Microsoft Windows User’s Guide to find out how to use the keyboard instead of a mouse to operate Windows.
