Description of Programs and Drivers
Printer Driver
Before you can use any printer with your computer,
you must install a printer driver. The printer driver
tells the computer what kind of a printer you are using,
and controls the various settings, such as print quality
and paper type. You define these settings within the
printer driver, which then communicates the settings to
both the computer and the printer.
To use the A900 as your printer, you must install the
A900 printer driver on your computer. After installing
the printer driver, make sure Compaq A900 is selected
as the default printer.
Compaq A900 Software
The Compaq A900 software allows you to control how
you want to use your Compaq A900 to print, fax, copy,
and scan.
Scanner Driver
The scanner driver allows you to scan images from any
graphics or OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
applications program that supports the TWAIN
standard (for example, Pagis ScanWorks, MS Imaging,
MS Paint.)
For information on how to use the scan options, see the
“Scanning” chapter.
