Using the Printer With Windows

This chapter describes how to use the printer with your Windows applications. It
includes:

o Installing a printer driver

o Printing a document

o Printer setup within Windows 95

o Printer setup within Windows 3.1

o The Windows tabs

o Printing speed versus color

Before using your printer for the first time, it's a good idea to perform print
head alignment to obtain optimum print quality. See your Quick Start
Guide
for details.

Installing a Printer Driver

Before you can use any type of printer with your computer, you must install a
printer driver. The printer driver tells the computer what kind of a printer you are
using. The printer driver also controls the various settings, such as print quality an
paper type. You define these settings within the printer driver, and the printer
driver then communicates the settings to both the computer and the printer.

You must install the BJC-7000 Series Printer Driver for Windows before
you can use the printer with your computer. See your Quick Start Guide for
instructions.
