About printer driver
Printer Driver is a section of your software that automatically translates instructions from the
software to your printer.
For example, when using some application softwares, if you want to boldface or underline a
word, the printer driver automatically translates your specific boldface or underline instruction
on your application software to printer control command.
Different printers use different control codes for designating print styles. Therefore, it is
important that when you install your software, you select the appropriate printer driver
designed for your printer.
When WINDOWS 3.1, WINDOWS NT 3.51, 4.0, or WINDOWS 95, 98 is used, please install
the Printer Driver attached to this printer.
When this printer is used in the MS-DOS or other environment, such as UNIX or OS/2, proceed
as follows.
