Setting up for printing with MS-DOS
To print from an application running under MS-DOS, you must first select the
printer from within the application. Typically, the program will feature an
INSTALL or SETUP command for selection of printers. Refer to the manual
for the application you are using for details on how to select a printer for it.
Note:
Remember that you must select a printer for each individual application before
you can print from it.
The following procedure describes the basics of selecting a printer.
❏ Start up the application and use the correct procedure for that application to
select a printer. The following is a list of printers that can be used. If your
application lists more than one of these, select the printer that is nearest to
the top of this list. Use User Setup Utility to select Standard emulation
(page 20).
The shaded printers are not color printers, so you will not be able to print in
color if you select one of them.
