In order to print with the euro character, the euro-capable code page must be
selected at the printer operator panel and not over-ridden by your job.
These drivers are available only in English.
These drivers support the selection of the multiple forms paths available on the
4247 with the exception of the manual feed path. That path cannot be selected by
any of the 4247 drivers. The manual feed path must be selected at the operator
panel.
In Windows 95/98 and NT, the standard WYSIWYG approach in drivers causes
your job to be sent to the printer as graphics, so that the printer can use
typographic fonts typical of PC applications. This significantly slows the printer,
since it is printing at NLQ speeds. By selecting the resident draft fonts from the
font list, this can be avoided. However, if this is done, then your job is now
tailored specifically for the 4247 printer and there may be problems printing to
other printers. The resident 4247 draft font is available in the following CPI values:
5, 6, 7.5, 8.5, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, and PS.
OS/2 and Windows Drivers
Use one of the following drivers (not shipped with the printer) that is provided
with your operating environment. When using these drivers, some of the 4247
advanced features will not be selectable from the data stream. You may, however,
use the operator panel to select these features.
