Configuring your software for the printer
Most application software programs let you specify the type of printer you
are using so that the software can take full advantage of the printer’s features.
Many of these software packages provide an installation or setup program
that presents a list of printers.
Choose one of the following (in order of preference):
# Printer Name
1 Star NX-2440
2 Star NX-2430
3 Star NX-2420
4 Epson LQ-860
5 Epson LQ-850
6 Star NX-2410
You can also select one of NEC 24-wire printers to print graphics.
If your software package does not mention printers by name, but asks instead
what features your printer is capable of, the most common questions are:
“Can your printer perform a backspace?” and “Can it do a hardware form
feed?”. You should answer “Yes” to both these questions.
Make sure that the Electronic DIP Switch (EDS) is set for the correct printer
condition, and that you have also selected the appropriate character set.
(Refer to Chapter 5 for detailed information on the EDS mode.)
If you are in doubt about the configuration of your application software,
seek expert advice. Your software supplier will probably be your most
qualified reference.
