Star Micronics 8III Printer User Manual


 
Congratulations on purchasing a Star LaserPrinter 8111. You will be de-
lighted with both the quality of the printed images and the ease of operation.
With your computer and this printer, you can create professional-looking
documents.
This Operations Manual is one of two that explore the entire range of printing
possibilities of the Star LaserPrinter 8111. This manual is for beginners and
for those who plan to concentrate on the basics. Advanced users and those
interested in programming should refer to the Applications Manual.
Chapter 2 begins with an overview of the manual and of the Star Laser
printer. This chapter explains how to unpack your new printer and prepare
it for initial operation. Chapter 3 explains how to operate the printer’s front
operating panel and display screen.
Some people like to skip the preliminary explanations and begin using the
printer immediately. Chapter4 provides the information for such a fast start.
If you begin with Chapter 4, at some later time you should read the rest of the
book, in sequence, for a more complete picture of your printer and its
operations.
Chapter 5 explains how to set up a page, while Chapter 6 describes the type
characteristics and printer operations that will enable you to give your
printed pages that professional look.
The Star LaserPrinter 8111 emulates the operation of three widely-used
printers:
l HP LaserJet III, a laser printer
. Epson EX-800, a dot-matrix printer
l IBM Proprinter, a dot-matrix printer
