3–14 Printing with Your SuperScript 610
PRINTING
FROM A
WINDOWS
APPLICATION
Once you have selected your printer mode (GDI or
PCL emulation), just print from your Windows
application as you would to any other printer.
Note: Silentwriter SuperScript 610 is a Windows
printer, designed for use with Windows. In particu-
lar, SuperScript’s GDI mode is based on Windows
and does not work with MS-DOS. However,
SuperScript will work in PCL mode if you create an
MS-DOS session from within Windows.
SuperScript will not run if you exit Windows com-
pletely.
Enter MS-DOS prompt from Windows by clicking
on the
MS-DOS icon in the Main window from the
Program Manager screen.
When ready to print, start your DOS application and
print as you normally would. Set up your application
to print to the parallel port LPT1 (or LPT2 or LPT3
if you have SuperScript set to print to one of these
ports instead). Be sure to select the NEC
SuperScript PCL driver or an HP LaserJet IIP driver.
PRINTING PCL
FILES FROM
DOS COM-
MAND LINE If you have a file in PCL or ASCII (text) format, you
can print it from the MS-DOS command line within
Windows. At the command line prompt, type
COPY/B <filename.ext> LPT1
where <filename.ext> is the name of your PCL- or
ASCII-formatted file. (If you have configured
SuperScript to print to a different parallel port, give
its name instead of LPT1.)
