Using Your Printer with Application Software
Printing a test file
After you install the software, create a test file using the fonts,
symbols, and formats that you use most often. Printing the test file
shows you which characters you can print with your application
program and whether you need to make any changes to your
printer settings with SelecType.
Your test file should contain as many of the following items as
possible:
l
More than one full page of text
l
Text on every line
l
Some lines that extend completely to the margins
l
Features that you can control with your software, such as bold
or underlined text
l
Some graphics (if you choose an EPL-7000 or HP LaserJet series
IIP driver)
l
Headers and footers (if your software supports them).
If you select the first printer recommended for your operating
mode, you should be able to use all of the features of your
application program. Even if you have to choose an alternative
printer from the lists, you should still obtain a wide range of
printing effects.
