INTRODUCTION OfficeStyler T1 OConfiguration Overview
OfficeStyler T1OConfiguration Overview
OfficeStyler T1 O software provides three software configuration options
depending on how you intend to use the printer:
Sewer
Client
Whether you use the Of ficeStyler TIO software printer in a network
configuration or as a non-network printer, your configuration will provide
almost the same print modes and printer features.
A resource is a piece of data, software application, or hardware that can be
accessed and used by multiple users or system components. A resource
provides a service. Two examples of Windows resources are File Manager
and a dialogue box which can provide information or a method of interacting
with the system. Resources, local to the PC, are generally available through
Windows itself. However, resources that are available to other PCs across a
network must be formally shared. The owner of the resource shares the
resource. Those that wish to use the resource connect to the resource.
This function is only valid for those using Windows 95 and Windows for
Workgroups.
Network Configuration Overview
Microsoft’s Windows for Workgroups is designed as a peer-to-peer network.
That is, each connected PC is a peer to every other connected PC in the
workgroup. This peer approach means that no PC in the workgroup acts as a
network administrator. OfficeStyler T1 O software adopts this peer-to-peer
model. However, to provide user configuration flexibility and to save disk space
for some users, OfficeStyler T1 Osoftware can be configured differently when a
user has a connected printer or when a user does not have a connected printer
and uses a printer connected to another peer PC in the workgroup. The PC
that has the printer connected to it performs some additional functions not
needed by PCs without a connected printer. Therefore, we have adopted the
Client/Server terminology to differentiate between those PCs that have a
printer connected to them and those PCs that do not have a connected printer.
A Server is that peer with a connected and shared printer. A Client is a peer
using a printer connected to a Server.
Note:
For a peer to access another peer’s OfficeStyler T1 O software printer, both
peers must have OfficeStyler TI O software installed and selected in their
Windows printer list.
A maximum of 3PCS on the network can use OfficeStyler T1O printer at the
same time.

OfficeStyler T1 OConfiguration Overview
INTRODUCTION
Client Configuration
The Client is a peer in the workgroup that wants to print to another peer’s
printer. The Client configuration is a subset of the Sewer configuration and is
provided in those cases when saving disk space at the Client is an issue.
If at some point, the PC configured as a Client attaches a OfficeStyler T1 O
software printer, that PC must re-install the OfficeStyler TI O software and
select the Setver option.
Note:
Re-installation can be via installation disks or across the network.
Server Configuration
The Server is the peer in the workgroup that has a printer connected to it. At
installation, the OfficeStyler TI OSet-up Program asks if you wish to configure
the PC as a Server or a Client. You must configure the PC with the attached
OfficeStyler T1 O software printer as a Server.
Note:
If you previously installed and configured your PC as a Client, you must
reinstall your printer as a Server. You can either use your installation disks or
install across the network if there is another Setver configured and running.
Any Server in the workgroup with OfficeStyler T1O software installed can be
effectively both a Server and a Client. As a Server, that PC shares the
connected printer with other peers in the workgroup. However, when that
server opts to print to a printer supported by another Server, that PC is acting
as a Client to the other Server.
INTRODUCTION
OfficeStyler T1OConfiguration Overview
Network Configuration Sample
Following figure shows this flexible OfficeStyler T1O software approach. As
seen in the figure, there are two PCs that have attached printers: Peer A with
Printer A and Peer D with Printer D. If Peer B chooses to print to Printer A then
for that print job Peer B is the Client and Peer A is the Server. If Peer A wants
to print to Printer D, then for that print job Peer A becomes a Client to Peer D,
but Peer A remains the Server for Peer B’s print job.This function is only valid
for those using Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups.

Introduction
●
Windows GDI, PCL soft emulation drivers are built-in.
GDI mode
GDI mode provides fast, what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) output
by taking advantage of Window’s native graphics and text features.
PCL mode
PCL mode provides compatibility with the popular printer language used in
the Laser Jet @ family. Both Window applications and DOS applications
running under Windows can use PCL mode for printing.
●
OfficeStyler T1O software
OfficeStyler T1 Osoftware provides two configuration options depending on
how you intend to use the printer.This function is only valid for those using
Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups.
Server: For user the plan to attach the printer to their PC and have, or plan
to have, a network connection, and, many provide printer sharing to other
PC’s on the network.
Client: For users that will not attach the printer to their PC but do plan on
using the printer attached to another PC in the network.
OfficeStyler TI O software provides printer status information and recovery
instructions when a trouble happens.
●
Toner
With Toner Saving turn on, your printer reduces the amount of toner used to
print. This is especially valuable when printing draft copies of your print jobs.
●
With EET turned on, your printer will smooth the jagged edges of text and
line art given the output a very high quality appearance.

Printing
Note:
Depending on the type of OHP, the image may not print well, and it may
become easy for several sheets to be fed at the same time.
Caution:
Never copy onto OHP sheets intended for use with color copiers or inkjet
printers —the machine could be damaged.

Printing from a Windows Application
Once you have selected your printer mode (GDI or PCL), just print from your
Windows application as you would to any other printer.
Printing from a DOS Application within Windows
OfficeStyler T1O is a Windows printer driver, designed for use with Windows.
In particular, OfficeStyler TI O’s GDI mode is based on Windows and does not
work with MS-DOS. However, OfficeStyler T1 O will work in PCL mode if you
create an MS-DOS session from within Windows, Enter MS-DOS from
Windows (click on the DOS application icon, or click on the MS-DOS icon and
run your application from the command line).
Set up your application to print to the parallel port LPTI (or LPT2 or LPT3 if you
have OfficeStyler set to print to one of these ports instead). Be sure your
application’s PCL driver is installed. Select a printer driver.
When ready to print, start your DOS application and print from your application as
you normally would to LPTI (or whichever port OfficeStyler is connected to).
Printing PCL and ASCII Files from MS-DOS
If you have a file in PCL or ASCII (text) format, you can print it from the
MS-DOS command line within Windows. At the command line prompt, type
PC-PRINTING
COPY/B ame.ext LPTI
where ame.ext is the name of your PCL or ASCll-formatted file. (If you have
configured OfficeStyler to print to a different parallel port, give its name instead
of LPT1 .)
Printing ASCII Text Files
You can output plain ASCII text files to the OfficeStyler T1Oprinter by following
this simple procedure.
Click on the “Notepad” application provided with your Windows 95
c1
system.
Open the file you wish to print.
El
Print the file.
El
Exit without saving changes.

Selecting the Printing Mode
Advanced Operation
When using Print Manager(of the OfficeStyler T1O), the following functions can
be used.
~ Manual Duplex Printing
IJ Reverse Printing
Cl Overlay Printing
For details, please see “GDI Mode, Printing Mode”, described later.
Selecting the Printing Mode
You can select either of the two printing modes, GDI mode or PCL mode,
according to your requirements. If you cannot determine which printing mode
is best suited for your printing applications under Windows, we recommend
you always use GDI mode first.
GDI mode has the following features:
~ GDI mode prints what you see on your screen.
~ Faster printing as much as four to five times faster for some files.
~ Manual Duplexing
~ Reverse (Last page on top)
Cl Overlay
Cl Scale
~ 2up/4up
Cl Image
PCL mode is effective in the following cases:
~ when you want to print a file created with MS-DOS application.
~ when you want to print a PCL format file.
GDI mode works very well with most software packages. However, some
applications can create output that is too complex for Windows to display
accurately on the screen - a file with a sophisticated embedded graphic image
might be an example. Here GDI might work fine for draft copies but falls short
of the quality needed for final output. For these situations OfficeStyler TI O
provides a PCL mode.
Changing the printing mode
There are four methods to change the printing mode, GDI mode or PCL mode.
