Using Your Printer With Application Programs
Now that you’ve set up and tested the printer, you can 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, simply
choose the DFX-5000 from its list of printers. If the DFX-5000 is
not on the menu, choose one of the following, listed in order of
preference.
FX-850/1050
FX-86e/286e
FX-85/185
FX-80/100
EX-800/1000
FX
LX
Epson printer
9-pin printer
Standard printer
Draft printer
Note: If your application program does not list the DFX-5000,
you may want to 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 DFX-5000 are
communicating properly. If the document doesn’t print correctly,
recheck the program’s printer selection and installation
