(Description of the printer driver)
The printer driver is the software program which runs the printer. It

understand. It also controls communication between the printer and
computer as the data is printed.
(Checking the hardware and software requirements)
You will need the following hardware and software in order to install the
printer driver.
Hardware requirements, such as CPU performance rating and amount of
RAM installed, are the same as for your operating system.
• The printer driver included in this product cannot be used under
Windows NT 3.5x, OS/2, pure MS-DOS and other operating systems
which are not described above.
• If you are using some of your computer’s memory as a RAM drive, the
printer driver may not be allocated the correct amount of memory. In
such a case, reduce the size of your RAM disk, or do not use the RAM
disk. Please refer to your MS Windows documentation for further
information.
