Installing a Printer Driver
Before you can print documents from your software applications, you must
install the appropriate printer driver on your computer. The printer driver
takes the information from your application program and translates it into
a language the printer can understand.
If you are using Microsoft Windows 3.1 applications, install the BJC-70 printer
driver for Windows and the Visual Guide, as described in the next section.
If you are using MS-DOS applications, you must install a printer driver for
each MS-DOS software application that you intend to use with the printer.
See Chapter 4, Using the Printer With Your Software, for details.
Installing the Windows Printer Driver, Visual Guide,
and Color Advisor
The Canon Windows Driver, Visual Guide, and Color Advisor diskettes
contain a setup program called SETUP.EXE. This program automatically
installs both the Canon BJC-70 printer driver for Windows 3.1 and the
Visual Guide. You can choose to install either the driver, the guide, or both.
The Canon BJC-70 printer driver for Windows includes a tool called the
Canon Color Advisor, which allows you to easily add color to the text in
your document. For instructions on how to use the Color Advisor, see
Chapter 5, Using the Color Advisor.
Before installing the Canon Windows driver, make sure your computer
system has the following minimum configuration:
386 personal computer
4 MB random access memory (RAM)
2.4 MB of available disk space
256-color, VGA color graphics monitor with a minimum resolution of
640 x 480 dots per inch (dpi)
MS-DOS 5.0 or later
Windows 3.1
N
You can run Windows and use the Visual Guide and Color Advisor with
4 MB of RAM. However, for optimum performance, Canon recommends
that your computer have 8 MB of RAM. Windows and other applications
use 4 MB of RAM; to speed its performance, the Color Advisor needs an
additional 4 MB of RAM.
