What is a Printer Driver?
The software you use to enter and format your documents
sends codes that run (or “drive”) your printer. These software
codes select the font, margins, page size, line spacing, and other
features of the document you are printing. Therefore, it is
important that you choose the right printer driver and install it
correctly from your software package. If there is a problem
with the appearance of your document, a software setting
could be the cause.
Fonts with Windows
Microsoft Windows standard drivers use scalable
TrueTypeRv’
fonts rather than the fonts built into the printer. Windows fonts
appear the same on the screen as they do in your printed
document. (This feature is called
WYSIWYG,
What You See Is
What You Get.) All programs that run under Windows can use
the Windows printer driver to print their files. Therefore, you
have access to the full range of TrueType fonts if you use the
Windows Stylus
300,
Stylus
800,
Al?-3250, or
LQ-870
driver.
