Controlling the Prinker
Unlike word processors, spreadsheet programs usually don’t let you
change printer commands within a spreadsheet. Instead, one style
of printing is used for the whole spreadsheet. You can take
advantage of your printer’s features to control spreadsheet printing.
You can use SelecType to change the printer’s settings. Since most
spreadsheets require a large number of columns, use SelecType to
increase the number of characters per line by first setting the
orientation to landscape and then widening the margin settings.
Note: Your application program may override SelecType
settings. If printing results are not what you expected, check the
spreadsheet manual for more information.
If you want to change a specific part of your spreadsheet, say to
highlight the text, the easiest way to do this is to print the file to
disk; then you can use your word processor to make fine
adjustments to your text.
Graphics programs
The printer is capable of producing finely detailed graphic images.
The easiest way to take advantage of your printer’s capabilities is
by using one of the many graphics programs available.
When buying graphics software, make sure the program has an
option to print on an EPL-7000 or HP LaserJet series IIP printer.
Programs listing these options should provide you with excellent
results.
Most graphics programs have a printer selection procedure similar
to that described in the section in this chapter on setting up
software.
