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 hand-
book for IBM computers applies to the Amiga
as well. There are a few differences which
we'll explain here.
Amiga's BA SIC
The program examples in your printer hand-
book 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.

How to Print Graphics
1. Follow steps 1 through 7 above.
8. Select Graphic Select.
9. Select the shade you want: Color, Gray,
or Black and White. (Be sure to load the
color ribbon for color prints.)
10. Select the OK icon.
11 . Select the Save icon or the Use icon.
(Save makes your selections permanent;
the Use icon lets you use these prefer-
ences until you turn off or reset the
Amiga.)
12. Close the Workbench directory.
13. 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. Other-
wise, you can use the Picture Printing Demo
of the OKIMATE/AMIGA COLOR PRINT soft-
ware to print pictures.
1* Amiga colourPrint -Disk optional.]
Printing Color Pictures*
The OKIMATE/AMIGA COLOR PRINT software
lets you print samples demonstrating various
Amiga and MCS820 capabilities, and print the
pictures you've saved on disk. After you' ve
started the Amiga with the Kickstart disk, the
screen prompt for inserting a disk will appear.
Insert the OKIMATE/AMIGA Color Print disk.
The OKIMATE/AMIGA Color Print disk main
menu will appear and present you with four
demo choices. Use color ribbon for all but the
first demo.
