Chapter 2 Setting Up the Printer 25

Installing a Printer Driver

Before you can print documents from your software applications, you must

install the appropriate printer driver on your computer. The printer driver

takes the information from your application program and translates it into

a language the printer can understand.

If you are using Microsoft Windows 3.1 applications, install the BJC-70 printer

driver for Windows and the Visual Guide, as described in the next section.

If you are using MS-DOS applications, you must install a printer driver for

each MS-DOS software application that you intend to use with the printer.

See Chapter 4, Using the Printer With Your Software, for details.

Installing the Windows Printer Driver, Visual Guide,

and Color Advisor

The Canon Windows Driver, Visual Guide, and Color Advisor diskettes

contain a setup program called SETUP.EXE. This program automatically

installs both the Canon BJC-70 printer driver for Windows 3.1 and the

Visual Guide. You can choose to install either the driver, the guide, or both.

The Canon BJC-70 printer driver for Windows includes a tool called the

Canon Color Advisor, which allows you to easily add color to the text in

your document. For instructions on how to use the Color Advisor, see

Chapter 5, Using the Color Advisor.

Before installing the Canon Windows driver, make sure your computer

system has the following minimum configuration:

❏ 386 personal computer

❏ 4 MB random access memory (RAM)

❏ 2.4 MB of available disk space

❏ 256-color, VGA color graphics monitor with a minimum resolution of

640 x 480 dots per inch (dpi)

❏ MS-DOS 5.0 or later

❏ Windows 3.1

You can run Windows and use the Visual Guide and Color Advisor with

4 MB of RAM. However, for optimum performance, Canon recommends

that your computer have 8 MB of RAM. Windows and other applications

use 4 MB of RAM; to speed its performance, the Color Advisor needs an

additional 4 MB of RAM.
