Using the Elite XL with Windows and DOS

4-26 Chapter 4

The Properties dialog box is a standard feature of Windows 95. The dialog box
is composed of panels that contain options for configuring your printer. Panels
are accessed by clicking on the appropriate tab along the top of the dialog box.

The Properties dialog box shown above is for a GCC Elite XL 808 printer
setup up for local communication. The only difference between the Properties
boxes for local and network printers is that network printers include a panel
called Capture Settings, which local printers do not; while local printers may
include a Sharing panel (if printer sharing is enabled in the Network control
panel), which is not shown for network printers.

The Sharing panel is not detailed in this document, and the Capture Settings
panel has already been configured with the recommended settings (page 4-24).
