* PRINTER INSTALLATION *
The first time you use Book Librarian or if you change printers,
you must install your printer for use with Book Librarian. To
install your printer, select U)til from the Main Menu. Then
select S)elect Printer from the next menu. The menu will display
five selections. (1) Epson and Compatibles, (2) IBM Proprinter and
Compatibles, (3) HP Laser Series II/III/IV and Compatibles,
(4) HP Deskjet 500/550C, (5) Cannon BJC-600 and Compatibles,
(6) Generic, (7) TSC Printer.
To select a printer, select the highligted letter or use the arrow
key to move the cursor over the printer and press RETURN/ENTER.
Most non-laser and some laser printers are compatible with the Epson
or IBM ProPrinter. If your printer is not an Epson or IBM Proprinter
check your manual, it is probably compatible with one or both.
Select the appropiate printer. If you have a laser printer, select
the HP Laser printer.
If your printer will not work with any of the first five selections
then you should select the Generic Printer. When you use the Generic
printer printer control codes are sent to your printer. You will
not be able to print the Comprehensive and Index Cards unless you
manually place your printer in compressed mode prior to starting the
report. Also the headings will not be printed in bold.
The final selection (7) TSC, is used to load a custom driver for your
printer created by TurboSystemsCo. If none of the first three
will work with your printer then contact TurboSystemsCo. We may be
able to construct a driver for you. Please provide the manufactuer
and model number.
If you selcet one of the printers and the reports don't print
correctly, always reset or turn your printer off then back on
prior to trying another selection. NOTE: Laser, Deskjet and
the Cannon printers cannot print index cards in this version.
