The Windows Printing System software that is included with your F-2700M offers a
wide variety of enhanced features for controlling the print jobs that you send from your
computer applications to your printer. This system has been especially designed to
work in conjunction with Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3. lx, and
Windows 95 to yield optimum printing performance and ease of operation.
Windows Printing System makes it possible for the printer and the computer to
communicate interactively with each other. This means that you can be continually
kept up to date on the status of the print job. Status message displays show how many
pages have been printed, how many pages still remain, and also whether any
problems such as a paper jam have occurred.

MS-DOS, Windows NT Win-OS/2, orotheroperating systems. You can, however, print from
MS-DOS applications running under Windows by means of the PCL emulation mode.
To change your computer’s vitiual memory settings, see “Changing viflual memory settings”
in this chapter.
If you are using some of your computer’s memory as a RAM drive, Windows PrintinQ System
may not be allocated sufficient memory. We recommend that you disable or at least reduce
-.
the size of the RAM drive in order to make the most efficient use of your computer’s memory.
The system requirements given above are the minimum required to install and run
Windows Printing System. However, performance will be improved if you use an
upgraded system. We recommend using a computer with a 486/33
Mhz processor or
better and 8 MB or more of RAM to get the full benefits of fast printing that Windows
Printing System offers.
