commands or, on the DOS level, the copy or print (C:> print

PostScript or ESP mode for the above command to work.)
4. Re-boot your system and turn the printer off, then back on.
If a blank page ejects from your printer, the file has been

printer are now the default settings.
Testing Communication: Sample Files
Try the following sample files to test your computer and printer
setup. You must be in either ESP or PostScript mode for the
following files to work. Using a text editor allows you to make sure
the commands are typed correctly. Popular text editors are DOS
Edlin, WordStar (non-document mode), PC-Write, SideKick, or
most of the professional word-processing packages. Any editor
which outputs a plain ASCII text file will do.
