5.4 Printer driver settings
With the Leica IP C cassette printer you can print cassettes from any Windows application al-
lowing the user to individually configure the printing parameters. The description below refers
to Microsoft Wordpad, a program that is part of any Windows installation and therefore avail-
able on all PCs supported by the printer driver. The dialog boxes to be accessed in other pro-
grams may be named differently, but the driver parameters that need to be selected are named
identically in all programs.
The cassette type (angle 35° or 45°) selected in PAPER --> SIZE and the cassette type actually
used must match.
Otherwise, the print head can be damaged.
