Most of you probably want to begin using your LQ with commer-
cial software to print such items as documents, reports, letters,
spreadsheets, and graphics. This chapter tells you what you need to
know.
If you want to learn more about the features of the LQ, also read
Chapters 5 and 6. For programmers the important parts of the manual
are the command summary and the other appendixes.
Using Commercial Software
Commercial software programs usually need to know what type of
printer you are using. You normally supply this information as part of
a setup or installation process. Either the manual for your program or
an on-screen menu should explain this process for you.
The program may list a number of printers from which you can
choose. Pick LQ-800 or LQ-1000, depending on which printer you
have.
