CHAPTER 5
USING THE PRINTER
WITH YOUR SOFTWARE
Your printer will work with a variety of applications, such as
spreadsheet, word processing, and graphics programs. This chapter
describes how to set up your software application for your printer.
Application programs include a group of programs, called printer
drivers, that help the application communicate correctly with specific
printers. Before using the printer with your application program, you
need to tell the application what type of printer you are using by
selecting the printer driver that corresponds to your printer.
Canon provides three BJ-200e printer drivers: one for Microsoft
Windows, one for WordPerfect version 5.1, and one for WordPerfect
version 6.0.
The easiest way to use your printer is to install the Windows driver and
perform your print operations through the Windows environment. The
next section, Installing the Windows Printer Driver, describes how to
install the driver.
If you have already installed this driver (as described in the Quick Start
Guide), see the section Printer Setup Within Windows (later in this
chapter) for information on the options you can select within the printer
driver.
If you use WordPerfect 5.1 or 6.0, see the section Setting Up
WordPerfect for Your Printer (later in this chapter) for information on
how to set up WordPerfect %.1 or 6.0 for your printer.
If you are not using Windows or WordPerfect, see the section Setting
Up Other Software Applications (later in this chapter) for information
on how to install another printer driver.
Installing the Windows Printer Driver
This section describes how to install the Windows printer driver for the
BJ-200e. The Windows Driver and On-Line Guide diskettes contain a
setup program called SETUP.EXE. This program automatically installs
both the Windows driver and the On-Line Guide. You can choose to
install either the driver or the guide or both. Follow these steps:
