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 abackspace?”
●“Can your printer do ahardware 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 afew test prints,
using features like bold, italic, etc. to see how itworks. 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-NX-2480 Rainbow/Colour is ideally suited for use
with computers running Microsoft Windows system soft-
ware. It works best with Windows version 3.1 or later. If
you are running an earlier version of Windows, we rec-
ommend you upgrade your computer to the latest ver-
sion. In particular, 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. (Clickand double-click refer 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 amouse, 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 amouse
to operate Windows.
