Operator Panel Buttons
The buttons on the operator panel allow you to turn the printer on and off, set the printer on-line and
off-line, pause a print operation, select basic printing modes, feed paper, clean the print head, and start a
printer self test. See Using the Operator Panel for details.
DIP Switches
The printer's DIP switches allow you to set the default printer configuration settings, such as paper and
envelope size, text lines per page, character sets, and so on. See Customizing the Printer, later in this
appendix, for details.
Setting Up MS-DOS Application Programs
Software applications designed to work with specific hardware setups. Most application programs
include an installation program or routine that you run to identify the type of hardware you are using,
such as your computer and printer. When you tell your application program what printer you are using, it
installs a program, called a printer driver, which supports your printer.
Selecting a Printer Driver
The installation programs for most applications offer a list of printer drivers from which to choose. If the
Canon BJC-610 is on the list, select it. This will give you the fullest range of features.
If the BJC-610 is not on the list, select a printer that will have nearly the same operating capabilities as
the BJC-610.
Software developers continuously create printer drivers. If your application software does not
list a Canon BJC-610 driver, call your software program's technical support line and ask if a
BJC-610 driver is available. If they are unable to assist you, call the Canon Help Desk to see if
a driver is available.
