When using your printer with an IBM PS/2, PC-AT or compatible, you will probably be using PC-DOS or MS-DOS as an operating system. A number of software tricks may be useful here. This chapter is not, however, a substitute for the operating system manuals supplied with your computer.

To learn how to print files, etc. it is best to read the relevant parts of these manuals.

INSTALLING APPLICATION SOFTWARE WITH YOUR PRINTER

When installing application software, you may find that your printer is not specifically mentioned in the lists of printers given for installation. However, this should pose no problem. Read this section, and guidelines provided with your software on printer installation.

Choose one of the following (in order of preference) according to your selected Emulation mode.

#

Standard mode

IBM mode

1Star XB-2410/XB24-10 Proprinter X24E

2 Star NX-2420/LC24-200 Proprinter X24

3 Epson LQ-850

You can also select one of NEC 24-wire printers to print graphics in the Standard emulation mode.

If your software package does not mention printers by name, but asks instead what features your printer is capable of, the most common questions are: “Can your printer perform a backspace?” and “Can it do a hardware form feed?”. You should answer ’’Yes”to both these questions.

Other software packages may allow you to install specific features. Spreadsheet programs will often ask for the maximum number of columns to be printed. This is given below.

	CPI	Number of columns
Pica	10	80
Elite	12	96
Semi-condensed	15	120
Condensed pica	17.1	137
Condensed elite	20	160
Proportional		Variable

?

Sometimes the software installation will ask you for an initialization sequence to return to the default settings. The command for your printer is <ESC> @.
