Windows version 3.0 does not supply any Panasonic printer drivers; therefore, you must always set an emulation to print from Windows 3.0.

Windows version 3.1 supplies a Panasonic KX-P1123 printer driver. When you use this driver, set the Epson LQ-850 Italic emulation mode.

IBM OS/2 version 2.0 supplies a Windows version 3.0 emulation package; therefore, you should follow the above instructions for Windows 3.0 to print from a Windows-OS/2 session.

The KX-P1123 printer and printer driver products included here are manufactured by Panasonic, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
