Setting Up Your Printer To Work With Your Software
Your printer emulates three different types of printer. That is to say it understands three different
types of printer language. Depending upon the printer that you own, you will need to select an
emulation that is most suitable for your printer.
In many situations, a “printer driver” (the piece of software specifically designed to allow your
computer and printer to communicate) is available either with the printer when you purchased
it or from the dealer after purchase. If you cannot get a driver for your particular software
package, please visit our web site, details of which are given at the front of this manual in the
section titled “For The Latest Information”.

Microsoft regularly release new versions of it highly successful Windows operating system.
Printer drivers for your printer are supplied on a disk included with your printer and this is the first
place you should look for a driver.
If you cannot find a suitable driver on the disk supplied, you should initially speak to the dealer
who supplied you with the printer. Alternatively, please visit our web site, details of which are
given at the front of this manual in the section titled “For The Latest Information”.
IBM PCs Or Compatibles
Most IBM and compatibles now use Windows operating systems as standard. Please refer to
the section above for more information on using your printer with Windows.
There are still, however, a number of other operating systems where printer drivers are not
readily available because the software was not designed with this method of printing in mind.
However, it is normally possible to use a “compatible emulation” (and alternative language)
instead of one of our specific drivers. Please read the following section for more information.
