- 1. Optimizing the print quality - Alignment page
-
- After installing the Microsoft Windows Printing System, it is recommended
- to print an Alignment page to align the print head for optimum print
- quality. On-Line help can guide you through the proper steps.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 2. Supported Operating Systems
-
- The Microsoft Windows Printing System is designed to work on
- Microsoft Windows 3.1x, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1x, and
- Microsoft Windows 95.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 3. Disable bi-direction support for this printer: Windows 95
-
- "Disable bi-directional support for this print" is a spool setting
- that is available in Windows 95. This setting disables the ability
- for this printer to communicate with the PC. Selecting this setting
- will cause your printer to function improperly with Windows 95.
- To determine if this option is selected, use the following procedure:
-
- 1. Click on the "Start" button.
- 2. Select the "Settings" menu item.
- 3. Click on the "Printers" menu item.
- 4. Right Click on the Canon BJC-620 printer icon.
- 5. Click on the "Properties" menu item.
- 6. Select the "Details" tab.
- 7. Press the "Spool Settings..." button.
- 8. Verify "Enable bi-directional support for this printer" is selected.
- 9. Close all open dialog boxes.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 4. Multiple Printers on a single port: Windows 3.1x and Windows 95
-
- Some printers are designed to work alone on a given printer port.
- If you are having difficulty printing to the Canon BJC-620 printer,
- redirecting the other printers from the same port may solve this problem.
-
- Directions to redirect printers in Windows 3.1x:
-
- 1. Double-Click on the "Control Panel" icon.
- 2. Double-Click on the "Printers" icon.
- 3. Select a printer that is on the same port as the Canon BJC-620.
- 4. Press the "Connect" button.
- 5. Select a different port from the one that is selected, or select "File:".
- 6. Press OK.
- 7. Repeat 3-6 until no other printers are on the same port as the
- Canon BJC-620.
- 8. Close all dialogs and exit Control Panel.
-
- Directions to redirect printers in Windows 95:
-
- 1. Click on the "Start" button.
- 2. Select the "Settings" menu item.
- 3. Click on the "Printers" menu item.
- 4. Right Click on the Canon BJC-620 printer icon.
- 5. Click on the "Properties" menu item.
- 6. Select the "Details" tab and note the port name under
- "Print to the following Port:."
- 7. Press the Cancel button.
- 8. Repeat steps 4-6 for the other printers that you have in the
- "Printers" folder. If any of these printers are on the same port
- as the Canon BJC-620, press the down arrow next to the port name and
- select "File: (Creates a file on disk)" for that printer. Then press OK.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 5. Add Printer: Windows 95
-
- The Canon BJC-620 printer cannot be installed on Windows 95 using the Add
- Printer icon in the "Printers" folder. Run the installation program that
- came on the disks that came with the printer to install this printer onto
- Windows 95.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 6. DOS Printing: Windows 95
-
- There are some DOS applications that will show an error message when you
- try to print to the BJC-620 from the application. In these cases, simply
- select the retry option, and you should be able to print.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 7. Swapping Printers and Ports: Windows 95
-
- If you switch your BJC-620 and an addition printer from one port to
- another on your computer, you should exit and restart Windows 95 once
- you have completed redirecting your printer drivers to the new ports.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 8. Printing Com #10 Envelopes
-
- When printing on COM #10 envelopes with the BJC-620 printer, the paper
- guide is placed all the way to the left. Depending on the size and shape
- of your printer cable interface connector, the paper guide may touch it.
- This may cause the envelopes to misfeed. Contact your Canon representative
- for information on a printer cable that will not cause this interference.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 9. Microsoft AutoMap Road Atlas: Windows 3.1x
-
- If you are not getting the text to print on the maps you try to print,
- follow the steps below:
-
- 1. Select the "Help" menu.
- 2. Select the "About Road Atlas..." menu item.
- 3. With the "About Microsoft Automap Road Atlas" dialog up, hold down
- the shift key and push the "System Info..." button. Release the shift key.
- 4. With the "Technical Settings" dialog box open, select the
- "Multiple-printing" setting in the "Masked Text Out" group in the lower
- left-hand corner of the dialog box.
- 5. Press the "Ok" button. (Now you are done.)
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 10. PageMaker 5.0: Windows 3.1x
-
- PageMaker 5.0 should only be printed from in Windows 3.1x with the Print
- Manager running. There are some difficulties that you may encounter if
- try to print with the Print Manager disabled. To determine if Print
- Manager is enabled, use the following procedure:
-
- 1. Double-Click on the "Control Panel" icon.
- 2. Double-Click on the "Printers" icon.
- 3. Make sure that "Use Print Manager" is checked in the lower left-hand
- corner.
- 4. Close all dialogs and exit Control Panel.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 11. Word Perfect Presentation 3.0
-
- 180x180 dpi printing does not work well with Word Perfect Presentation.
- Use 360x360 dpi or 720x720 dpi with this application to produce the
- best print outs of your documents.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 12. Lantastic
-
- The Windows Printing System will install and print correctly on a machine
- with Lantastic 6.0 installed. However, Lantastic does not support sharing
- Windows Printing System 1.8 printers.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 13. Installing over another Windows Printing System
-
- If you have any other Windows Printing System installed, please remove
- them prior to installing the BJC-620 Windows Printing System.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- 14. HP Vectra Computers
-
- If you change the BIOS settings on an HP Vectra computer, it is possible
- for the HP Vectra Computer printer port to stop working
- with the BJC-620 Windows Printing System software. If this occurs,
- shutting off the computer, and turning it back on should clear up the
- problem.
-
- ========================================================================
-

-
- 16. Setting the number of copies
-
- When printing a document, there are two places that you can set the
- number of copies: in the application print dialog box, and the print setup
- dialog box. Some applications use one of the settings, and some use the
- other. If you are getting unexpected numbers of copies, check the settings
- in both locations.
