Printing Solutions
Pentax provides printing solutions for many different operating systems and
device types.
Device types include:
• PDA Systems (Windows Mobile [Pocket PC] systems, Palm
systems, Psion/Symbian EPOC systems, and Windows CE
systems)
• Windows systems, Mac OS X, and Linux
Drivers that can be
installed automatically, once selected from the
Installation CD’s main setup program, are:
• Windows 95/98/Me
• Windows 2000/XP
• PocketPC* applets – time trials only
• Palm OS* applets – time trials only (Stevens Creek)
• Psion/Symbian (EPOC – V. 5 and V. 6)

* These operating systems do not support printing without the addition of
a printing applet. Trial versions of the printing applet are supplied on
the driver CD and on the Pentax website. Contact the applet provider
to purchase the one you want after the trial period. PocketPC 200 and
higher systems may use the WinCE driver if using application software
that is enabled to use it.
Drivers that must be installed
manually from the CD are:
• Linux – see Read Me instructions in CD directory.
• Mac OSX – see Read Me instructions in CD directory.
Please take time to fill out the warranty registration information
before installing any drivers to ensure you the best technical
support, should you need it.
The printer’s configuration, its use of selections about print density,
paper type, margins, etc., can be adjusted by using the Configuration
Utility, explained later in this chapter. A default set of configuration
data is programmed into the printer at the factory and may be
suitable for many users.
