Printing From DOS Applications
Printing from DOS applications in Windows
Use these instructions only if your application runs from the DOS
prompt in Windows. When you print from a DOS application, your
printer uses PCL 3 emulation. You must install a printer driver for
PCL 3 emulation in each DOS application.
♦
In Windows 3.1, avoid switching from your DOS application to
another application while your job is printing.
To print from DOS applications that run from the Windows DOS
prompt:
1.
From the Color MFP Printer Manager, click the Options tab.
2.
Make sure Disable Color MFP DOS Printing (Enable DOS Printing
to other Printers) is not checked.
3.
Make sure you are in Windows, not native DOS.
4.
Windows 3.1
Double-click the MS-DOS icon located in the Main group of Windows
Program Manager.
Windows 95:
Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS
Prompt.
5.
Start your application from the MS-DOS prompt.
6.
Install the HP DeskJet 500C as the current printer in the DOS applica-
tion from which you are printing.
•
Some applications offer a color or black (mono) version of the HP
DeskJet 500C driver. Choose the black (mono) version if you are
printing in black only. Choose the color version if you are printing
in color and black.
•
If your application does not offer the HP DeskJet 500C printer
driver, install the DeskJet 500 printer driver. You will not be able
to print in color with the DeskJet 500 printer driver.
