m Select PostScript if your printer supports PostScript. If you plan to print
non-PostScript files on a PostScript printer (such as printing files from the
DOS prompt), make sure the checkbox labeled “Allow DOS Text Printing”
has an X in it.
m If you have a PC parallel port printer and you are using the PowerPrint
package by GDT Softworks, then select Printer Specific. You will only be
allowed to select this option if you have selected a PowerPrint printer in
the Chooser.
m Choose Epson if you are using a non-PostScript printer (such as the Apple
StyleWriter, Apple LaserWriter 300, and certain HP DeskJet models).
For more information about the Epson options, see the next section,

Epson emulation and page setup options
If you chose Epson in the Print Spooler Preferences dialog box, you can make
the following settings:
m Select “Gaps between pages” if the application you are printing from does
not allow a 1/2-inch margin at the top and bottom of the page (such as the
DOS prompt or Windows 95 Notepad). Selecting “Gaps between pages”
will add a 1/2-inch margin to the top and bottom of the document. This
extra margin will be in addition to whatever margin is currently set.
Choose “No gaps between pages” if the application you are printing from
can format the page to have at least a 1/2-inch margin at the top and
bottom of the page.
m The font in the Default Font box is used when you’re printing ASCII text
from DOS and when the Faster Printing option is selected. For best results,
use a fixed-space font such as Courier or Monaco. Using a proportional
font such as Times
®
may change your document’s formatting.
m Select Faster Printing when you want to quickly print text from a DOS
application. When this option is selected, printers that use less than 300-
dpi resolution (such as ImageWriter dot-matrix printers) will print in 72-
dpi resolution.
