LOADING THE PRINTER DRIVER

Most software lets you specify printing information. Special files, called
printer drivers, are provided with the software. A printer driver tells the
computer what information to send to the printer.

For each software package you use, load its HP LaserJet Series II printer
driver onto your computer. When you print the from the software, be sure 
you select the HP LaserJet Series II printer driver. See the user's manual 
for your software.

If your software does not support the HP LaserJet Series II emulation mode,
load and select the printer driver for an emulation mode that it does sup-
port. The printer can emulate the Epson FX-80, IBM Proprinter, IBM Graphics 
Printer, or the Diablo 630/630 ECS. You must first change the emulation 
mode setting in the printer's configuration menu; see "Menu Settings."

the buffer is full, the printer sends a busy signal to the computer. This
might cause some software to display an error message such as Printer Not
Ready.

To avoid this, we suggest you use your word processor or DOS text editor to
enter the following line in your computer's autoexec.bat file:
