- 2. Select the "Color" in the "Print Color" box
- 3. Select the "High Speed" or "High Quality" button in the
"Print Quality" box. The "High Speed" will result in the
fastest print speed.

Printing Envelopes
==================
When printing envelopes with the BJC-600 and the auto-sheet feeder, move
the paper selection lever on the auto-sheet feeder to the forward
position. This will result in the best paper handling for envelopes.
Also, make sure to print with the option 'Print Current Page' or set the
print range to be from '1' to '1'. This will ensure that the application
will not prompt you to insert a second envelope after printing.

For thick paper, open the cover and set the green paper thickness lever
(inside the printer) to the up position.


Windows System Options
======================
When setting up your Windows system to print with the BJC-600, please
consider the following options to optimize your printing performance.

- Fast Printing Direct to Port: This option, available from within Printers
in the Windows Control Panel, should always be ON for best printing
results.

- Use DOS 5.0 or higher & HIMEM command to make 620 K of 'real' memory
available.

- Ensure a minimum of 4 to 8MB of permanent Windows SWAPFILE.

- Increase your RAM memory to more than 8MB. Increasing RAM memory will
result in faster printing and reduce compatibility problems with
applications. If you must print in a low memory situation, and are
having problems with your application, try turning off screen-matched
color or reducing resolution to correct the problem.

- ATI display driver. If you are using ATI's display driver version 1.5 and
are experiencing problems when printing, do the following:

- 1. Run the program "FlexDesk Control Panel" supplied with your
ATI driver.
- 2. Click on the "Advanced..." button on the main dialog.
- 3. Select "Off" for the "Device Bitmaps" selection.
- 4. Press "OK" to exit "FlexDesk Advanced Settings" dialog.
- 5. Press "OK" to exit "FlexDesk Control Panel."
- 6. You will prompt to restart Windows. Press "Yes" to this query.


Operation under Windows 3.0
===========================
If you are installing the BJC-600 driver version 2.0 under Windows 3.0 and
you wish to use its On-Line help, you need to manually copy a newer version
of the file WINHELP.EXE from the BJC-600 Installation diskette to your
Windows directory. For instance, if your Windows directory is C:\WINDOWS
and your BJC-600 Installation diskette is in drive A:, under DOS you would type:

copy a:\winhelp.exe c:\windows

Alternatively, you can use the Windows file manager to copy this file.
