Preface
Welcome to the high-speed PC printing field presented by RISO printers through RISO Printer Drivers. 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 relieving 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.
