Using Commercial Sojtware
-
Many of you purchased Delta to use with commercial soft-
ware. You made a good choice because Delta is compatible with
most commercial programs, from word processing programs to
spreadsheet programs to accounting programs.
Many of these programs have a routine for describing your
printer. These routines are often in "installation programs". They
typically give you a choice of printers or printer types to pick
from. Some typical descriptions that you might pick for Delta are:
"TTY type printer with backspace", "IBM-dot matrix printer",
"Centronics-type printer",
"Dot matrix ASCII printer". Delta
should work fine with any of these descriptions.
