Computer Works` allows you to print text and graphics to a wide variety of printers. To do this, you must first tell the program some information about your printer and system. Select the "Printer Setup" option from the file menu. This will present you with a list of various printers. Here you should choose your printer, or the one closest to your model. See your printer's manual if you are unsure which printer to choose. Once you have made your selection, you will be prompted to make some choices about the printer's settings. If a particular choice is not available for your printer, the text for it will be grey and you will not be able to select it. The settings include what printer port the printer is connected to, what mode the printer is in, and whether it's a 9 or 24 pin printer. The port is usually LPT1 unless you have made some other explicit change. If you choose one of the COM ports, a screen will come up to let you change the communication protocols for the printer. You will need to refer to your printer's manual to determine how to set these controls. The mode will depend on your printer. Some printers offer an Epson mode or a Proprinter mode. Most printers that offer this option come standard in Epson mode. This information will also be found in your printer's manual. Once you have your choices selected, choose <Okay> to save the setup. If you make a wrong choice, you can always hit <Cancel> to go back a level, or simply choose "Printer Setup" again to start over.
