Page 60: Chapter 3 Before Working With The Printer
Locate the printers that your application software supports and install the desired printer driver. Each software package differs in the way the printer driver is selected. Read the software manual and follow the setup or installation procedures.
Page 61 USER’S GUIDE To get the most out of this printer, you need to install the printer driver for this printer or the HP LaserJet and select the HP LaserJet emulation mode: this is the best combination. When any other HP LaserJet series printer driver is installed, select the HP LaserJet emulation mode.
Page 62: Automatic Emulation Selection
EPSON/IBM Priority Auto Selection Mode To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend you use the HP LaserJet emulation mode, which is a true laser printer mode. Since the HP LaserJet mode takes the highest priority in the automatic emulation selection, you can start using the printer as it is with the factory settings in most cases.
Page 63 The EPSON or IBM emulation mode priority must be selected, as the printer cannot distinguish between them. Since the factory setting is the EPSON emulation mode, you might need to select the IBM emulation mode with the EMULATION switch when you need to use this emulation.
Page 64: Automatic Interface Selection
AUTOMATIC INTERFACE SELECTION This printer has an automatic interface selection function. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the bi- directional parallel, Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface , RS-232C serial interface or MIO interface as appropriate.
