Chapter 4 Using The Printer With Your Software - Canon BJ-200ex User Manual

Chapter 4
Using the Printer With Your Software
Your printer will work with a wide variety of applications,
such as spreadsheet, word processing, and graphics
programs. This chapter describes how to set up your
software applications for your printer.
Application programs include a group of programs, called
printer drivers, that help the application communicate
correctly with specific printers. Before using the printer
with your application program, you need to tell the
application what type of printer you are using by selecting
the printer driver that corresponds to your printer.
Canon provides a BJ-200ex printer driver for Microsoft
Windows. The easiest way to use your printer is to install
the Windows driver and perform your print operations
through the Windows environment.
If you are using Microsoft Windows, you have already
installed the driver (as described in Chapter 2, Setting Up
the Printer). Also, in the last chapter, Using the Printer,
you learned that there are certain print options you can
select through your printer driver.
