Using the FX with Application Programs
Now that you’ve set up and tested the printer, you need to start
using it with your application programs.
Printer Selection Menus
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you’re
using so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s
features. Many programs provide an installation or setup procedure
that presents a list of printers to choose from. If your application
program has a printer selection menu, use the instructions below.
The rest of this chapter covers word processors, spreadsheets,
graphics programs, and programming languages.

or FX-286e. If the menu does not list either of these printers, choose
one of the following. They are listed in order of preference.
