Setting Up Other Software Applications If you are not using Windows, follow the guidelines in this section for setting up our applications for use with the Bubble Jet Printer BJ-200e. If you installed the Canon BJ-200e Windows printer driver as described in the previous section and will be printing only under Windows, you can ignore this information. Software applications are designed to work with specific hardware setups. Most Application programs include an installation program or routine that you run to identify the type of hardware you are using, such as your computer and printer. When you tell your application program what printer you are using, it installs a program, called a printer driver, that supports your printer. Selecting a Printer Driver The installation programs for most applications offer a list of printer drivers form which to choose. If you find Canon BJ-200e, BJ-200, BJ10e, or BJ-10ex on the list, select it. This will give you the fullest range of features. If you do not find one of these printers on the list, you can select a printer that will have nearly the same operating capabilities as the Bubble Jet Printer BJ-200e. NOTE: Software developers continuously create printer drivers. If your application software doesn't not list a Canon BJ-200e driver, call your software application's technical support line and ask if a BJ-200e driver is available. If they are unable to assist you, call the Canon help desk to see if a driver is available.

Selecting a Printer Control Mode Your printer has two resident printer control modes: BJ-10 mode and Epson LQ mode. If you were able to select a Canon BJ printer or the IBM Proprinter X24E through your application program, you will want to use the printer in BJ-10 mode. This mode gives you the fullest range of features. If your application program does not support the Canon BJ or the IBM Proprinter X24E printers, but does not support an Epson LQ printer, you can use the printer in LQ mode.
