Using the LQ-2550 with Application Programs

Now that you’ve set up and tested the printer, you need to start using it

with your application programs.

Most application programs let you specify

the

type of printer you’re

using so that the program

can

take full advantage of the printer’s

features. Many programs provide

an

installation or setup procedure that

presents a list of printers to choose from. If your application program

has a printer selection menu, use the instructions below.

Using printer selection menus

If your software has a printer selection menu, simply choose LQ-2550. If

the

menu does

not

list this printer, choose one of the following. They are

listed in order of preference.

LQ-2500

LQ-1050 (LQ-850)

LQ-1000 (LQ-800)

LQ-500

LQ-1500

If none of these printers is listed, choose

the

first one available of the

following: LQ, EX, JX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, standard printer,

draft printer.

If you plan to use color, choose either

the

LQ-2550 or the LQ-2500.

To use all the features of

the

LQ-2550, it is best to use a program with

the

LQ-2550

on

its menu. If your program does not list the LQ-2550,

contact

the software manufacturer to see if

an

update is available.

A quick test

After setting up your application program, print a sample document to

make sure the program and the LQ-2550 are communicating properly. If

the document doesn’t print correctly, recheck the program’s printer

selection and installation procedure. If you’re still having trouble

printing, consult the troubleshooting section in Chapter 6.
