2Preface
Preface
Welcome to the high-speed PC printing field presented by RISO printers through RISO Printer Driv-
ers.
The RISO printers, which are designed to operate as a high-speed GDI printer, enable you to print
various documents you create on different computer platforms very speedily, only if an appropriate
RISO Printer Driver is installed in your computer.
The GDI printer, as you know, uses the bit-mapped image data developed on your PC monitor
screen as print data source, enabling you to print the exactly same image as of what you see on your
PC monitor screen in most cases. Besides, it requires no printer font to print document, thus reliev-
ing you of the restrictions on the use of fonts when you create documents on your PC.
The RISO printers can also operate as a network printer under various LAN environments, with an
additional network interface card embedded inside.
KZ cannot be connected via network.
