- Color Printing
- ==============
- Use the following selections for printing:
-
- - For fast color printing:
-
- - 1. Select the "Plain Paper" in the "Media Type" box
- - 2. Select the "Color" in the "Print Color" box
- - 3. Select the "High Speed" or "High Quality" button in the
- "Print Quality" box. The "High Speed" will result in the
- fastest print speed.
- - 4. Select "Options...", then select "Pattern" in the
- "Halftone" box
-

- Printing Envelopes
- ==================
- When printing envelopes with the BJC-600 and the auto-sheet feeder, move
- the paper selection lever on the auto-sheet feeder to the forward
- position. This will result in the best paper handling for envelopes.
- Also, make sure to print with the option 'Print Current Page' or set the
- print range to be from '1' to '1'. This will ensure that the application
- will not prompt you to insert a second envelope after printing.
-
- For thick paper, open the cover and set the green paper thickness lever
- (inside the printer) to the up position.
-
-
- Windows System Options
- ======================
- When setting up your Windows system to print with the BJC-600, please
- consider the following options to optimize your printing performance.
-
- - Fast Printing Direct to Port: This option, available from within Printers
- in the Windows Control Panel, should always be ON for best printing
- results.
-
- - Use DOS 5.0 or higher & HIMEM command to make 620 K of 'real' memory
- available.
-
- - Ensure a minimum of 4 to 8MB of permanent Windows SWAPFILE.
-
- - Increase your RAM memory to more than 8MB. Increasing RAM memory will
- result in faster printing and reduce compatibility problems with
- applications. If you must print in a low memory situation, and are
- having problems with your application, try turning off screen-matched
- color or reducing resolution to correct the problem.
-
- - ATI display driver. If you are using ATI's display driver version 1.5 and
- are experiencing problems when printing, do the following:
-
- - 1. Run the program "FlexDesk Control Panel" supplied with your
- ATI driver.
- - 2. Click on the "Advanced..." button on the main dialog.
- - 3. Select "Off" for the "Device Bitmaps" selection.
- - 4. Press "OK" to exit "FlexDesk Advanced Settings" dialog.
- - 5. Press "OK" to exit "FlexDesk Control Panel."
- - 6. You will prompt to restart Windows. Press "Yes" to this query.
-
-
- Operation under Windows 3.0
- ===========================
- If you are installing the BJC-600 driver version 2.0 under Windows 3.0 and
- you wish to use its On-Line help, you need to manually copy a newer version
- of the file WINHELP.EXE from the BJC-600 Installation diskette to your
- Windows directory. For instance, if your Windows directory is C:\WINDOWS
- and your BJC-600 Installation diskette is in drive A:, under DOS you would type:
-
- copy a:\winhelp.exe c:\windows
-
- Alternatively, you can use the Windows file manager to copy this file.
