The UBI Windows Driver makes it possible to use an UBI EasyCoder
101, 201 II, 501 or 601 printer for producing printouts from most
programs run under Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later versions. The
EasyCoder printer must be fitted with either an EasyPak Start-Up
program or UBI Shell (version requirements, see note).
You can edit your labels in word-processing programs like MS
Word, in desktop publishing programs like Aldus Pagemaker, in
spreadsheet programs like MS Excel, or in drawing programs like
Corel Draw. Or use Windows built-in facilities Write, Notepad, and
Paintbrush.
It is easy to get started. Just install the UBI Windows Driver in your
PC and connect the printer to a parallel communication port. Then
you are ready to print by means of the print facilities in the program
you will use.
The UBI Windows Driver is delivered on a 3.5" floppy disk and
contains driver routines for EasyCoder 101, EasyCoder 201 II,
EasyCoder 501, and EasyCoder 601 with various printhead densi-
ties. (The driver for EasyCoder 71 is delivered on a separate floppy
disk).
