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 pack-
age, 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

Windows

Microsoft regularly release new versions of it highly successful Windows operating system.
Printer drivers for your printer are normally included with the original software supplied by Microsoft
and this is the first place you should look for a printer driver for your printer.
If you cannot find a driver in the original software package, 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.
