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.
❏
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. For these printers, you should use the EDS Mode to
select standard emulation (page 31).
If none of the printers listed above are available in the application, choose
one of the printers listed below. Once again, you should choose the printer
that is nearest to the top in the following list. For these printers, you should
use the EDS Mode to select IBM emulation (page 31).
❏
To print, follow the instructions given in the manual of the application you
are using. Typically, you would select the application’s
PRINT command,
make any necessary changes in the window that appears (such as the
number of copies to be printed), and then press the
Enter key to start
printing.
