The Microsoft Windows Printing System manages the communications between your

computer and printer. It divides the work between the two, helping the printer and

computer work together to optimize performance.

The Microsoft Windows Printing System processes documents from Microsoft Windows

applications faster than traditional methods, and lets you quickly see the status of your

print job. If you install the included sound files, your computer will actually tell you

verbally what your printer is doing.

Your Quick Start Guide describes how to install the Microsoft Windows Printing

System. To use the system, make sure your computer system has the following minimum

configuration:

386SX 16MHz personal computer

10 MB of physical and virtual memory combined, of which at least 4 MB must be

physical RAM

VGA or super VGA color graphics monitor

6 MB of available disk space for full installation of Microsoft Windows Printing

System

Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 3.1, or Microsoft Windows for

Workgroups 3.1

Parallel printer port with bi-directional communication capability

The printer may not print some pages at high resolution with the system above. In this

case, the following are suggested.

486SX 25MHz personal computer

16 MB of physical and virtual memory combined, of which at least 8 MB must be

physical RAM

You need a sound card to play sounds with the Microsoft Windows Printing System

messages.

One-way communication from computer to printer has been the standard for years.

The Microsoft Windows Printing System offers dynamic two-way communication.

With the Microsoft Windows Printing System, your computer knows what your

printer is doing.

To take advantage of the dynamic two-way communication, one end of a bi-

directional parallel cable connects to the printer and the other end connects directly

to your computer

You must use a bi-directional cable for proper operation. Also, your computer's

interface must have bi-directional capability. If your computer tells you that it cannot

find the BJC-620 printer, but the printer is plugged in, turned on, and connected to

the computer, see the Technical Notes starting on page 5-11.

Every time you print, the Microsoft Windows Printing System displays the Status

Window. This window shows you the paper moving through the printer, how long it

will take to print the document, and how much of the document has printed. From

the Status Window you can pause, resume, force, or delete the print job, print the

self test, or clean the print heads.
