AMIGA OWNERS!

Don't panic! You've got the right manual for
your MCS820 (OKIMATE® 20) printer. It's
easy to set up your MCS820 printer to print
whatever you create

on

your Amiga computer.

In

fact, the information

in

the MCS820 hand­book for IBM computers applies to the Amiga
as

well. There are a few differences which

we'll explain here.

Amiga's

SIC

The program examples

in

your printer hand­book are designed for IBM's BASICA or
Microsoft BASIC. Your Amiga needs Microsoft
BASIC to

run

these programs.

Putting Your Amiga Creations on
Paper

Once you've loaded paper and ribbon

as

ex-

plained

in

the handbook, MCS820 can start

printing for you. When

you

want

to

print a let-

ter or graphics design, select OKIMATE

20
from Amiga's Preferences menu and choose
the printing styles

you

want. After inserting the

Amiga Workbench disk, use the mouse

to
select icons from the Workbench menu. We'll
show

you

how simple it

is.

(Save makes your selections permanent;
the Use icon lets you use these prefer­ences until you turn off or reset the
Amiga.)

Close the Workbench directory.

Now you can load your graphics software
disk, or print Amiga's Notepad screen by
selecting

PRINT AS: GRAPHIC. Consult

your Amiga manual for details

on

Notepad.

You can print graphics directly as we've
shown you here, since many Amiga graphics
packages directly support the MCS820. Other­wise, you can use the Picture Printing Demo
of the OKIMATE/AMIGA COLOR PRINT soft­ware to print pictures.
