Using the Printer
Selecting a Printer
This section gives brief instructions for selecting a printer using
Windows, Windows NT, OS/2 or DOS.
Windows, Windows NT and OS/2
Once the printer driver is installed, follow the instructions in
your Windows, Windows NT or OS/2 user’s guide to select
the printer driver as your printer.
If the HP LaserJet IIP or HP LaserJet Series II printer is the
default printer, you can print from a Windows application
without selecting a printer.
Under Windows 3.1, select a printer by choosing Printer
Setup on the File menu. Click the Specific Printer radio
button and then click the HP LaserJet IIP (or HP LaserJet
Series II) printer. If neither printer appears on the list, you
must install a printer driver. See page 23.
DOS
If you are using DOS applications, your application may
include support for LaserJet IIP (or LaserJet II) printers. If so,
select this option.
When using a DOS application (including the DOS “PRINT”
command) that offers no printer selection options, you may
still control the features of the printer, including internal font
selection, character set, portrait or landscape orientation,
lines per inch, etc. To do this, run the POCKETJT.EXE program,
found on the DOS print utility disk included with your printer,
before running your DOS program. Alternatively, it may be
possible to embed PCL4 command codes directly into your
document. For a list of these commands and character sets,
see Appendices A and B.
Printer Emulation
The printer emulates a LaserJet IIP using Hewlett-Packard’s
printer control language PCL4 (PhoenixPage™ PCL4
licensed from XIONICS™).
This emulation supports all LaserJet IIP capabilities except
those that clearly do not apply, such as support for paper
trays, envelope feeding, etc.
