Sharp F-2700M Operation Manual page 36

The Windows Printing System can be used to print documents from MS-DOS
applications as well as from Windows applications. It does this by means of a special
mode called PCL Emulation. When you select the Print command from your
application, Windows Printing System will recognize that the job is coming from an
MS-DOS application and will switch to PCL Emulation by itself.
To print from an MS-DOS application, it must be running under Windows. You
cannot print from an application that is running from native MS-DOS.
If the PCL Emulation Front Panel Application software hasn't been installed, you will
need to install it before you can print from an MS-DOS application. You can install it
without having to install the entire Windows Printing System again. See "installing
Windows Printing System" in this chapter.
Before printing, select HP LaserJet Series II from the list of available printers in your
MS-DOS application.
Changing print settings
PCL Emulation has its own "Front Panel" window which you can use to change a
variety of print settings, including number of copies, page orientation, font, printer port,
lines per page, and size. These are the same settings that would be made on the front
panel of the HP LaserJet Series II printer.
To open the PCL Emulation Front Panel window, double-click the PCL Emulation
Front Panel icon in the SHARP F-2700M Printing Group window. For detailed
information on making the settings, click the Help button.
