CHAPTER 5 USING THE PRINTER WITH YOUR SOFTWARE Your printer will work with a variety of applications, such as spreadsheet, word processing, and graphics programs. This chapter describes how to set up your software application for your printer. Application programs include a group of programs, called printer drivers, that help the application communicate correctly with specific printers. Before using the printer with your application program, you need to tell the application what type of printer you are using by selecting the printer driver that corresponds to your printer. Canon provides three BJ-200e printer drivers: one for Microsoft Windows, one for WordPerfect version 5.1, and one for WordPerfect version 6.0. The easiest way to use your printer is to install the Windows driver and perform your print operations through the Windows environment. The next section, Installing the Windows Printer Driver, describes how to install the driver. If you have already installed this driver (as described in the Quick Start Guide), see the section Printer Setup Within Windows (later in this chapter) for information on the options you can select within the printer driver. If you use WordPerfect 5.1 or 6.0, see the section Setting Up WordPerfect for Your Printer (later in this chapter) for information on how to set up WordPerfect %.1 or 6.0 for your printer. If you are not using Windows or WordPerfect, see the section Setting Up Other Software Applications (later in this chapter) for information on how to install another printer driver. Installing the Windows Printer Driver This section describes how to install the Windows printer driver for the BJ-200e. The Windows Driver and On-Line Guide diskettes contain a setup program called SETUP.EXE. This program automatically installs both the Windows driver and the On-Line Guide. You can choose to install either the driver or the guide or both. Follow these steps:
