APPENDIX B
Software Notes
This appendix explains how to use four popular software
packages on the I BM Personal Computer. We've provided
step-by-step instructions which demonstrate how to print
files and how to activate your IBM Comatible MICROLINE
printer's special features, as well as hints to help you make
the most of your printer and software. These instructions
are intended to supplement rather than replace those for
your software package, therefore we strongly recommend
that you review your software manual before trying to use
your package with your MICROLINE printer. Your OKI
dealer can also provide you with USERS TI PS, which we
issue frequently in order to inform you about new software
packages.
NOTE: The I-PRIME signal sent by the IBM Personal Computer causes the
printer to return to its default settings-Utility mode, 10 characters per inch,
and six lines per inch. In most instances, your computer sends an I-PRIME
signal when the software program is being loaded. Therefore, if you wish to
use the printer's switch controls to select other available IBM-Compatible
MICROLINE print features, you must use them after your software has been
loaded. This prevents the I-PRIME signal from ;;:;;;;riding your selections.
See page 73 for an exception to this procedure in the case of VisiCalc.
~II print samples in this appendix have been reduced in
size.

VisiCalc

clarify that information and give a few examples.
