Using a Printer Driver
Before you can use any type of printer with your computer, you must
install software that allows the printer and computer to communicate;
the software is called a printer driver. The printer driver tells the
computer what kind of a printer you are using. The printer driver also
controls the various settings, such as print quality and paper type. You
define these settings within the printer driver, and the printer driver then
communicates the settings to both the computer and the printer.
N
You must install the BJC-1000 Series Printer Driver for Windows before
you can use the printer with your computer. If you are using Windows
98 or Windows 95, see your
