Free: 5,120

Note: On this 720K diskette, you will not be able to install a printer whose .PRS file is more than 5 Kb in size. HP Laserjet Series II is 11,503 bytes. As a result, while in the process of installing a printer like HP Laserjet Series II, you will encounter the following message or messages: "Printer [filename] Is Not Selectable" or "Disk May Be Full". With a 1.44MB diskette, it should be fine. (RE: Drive/Diskette Compatibility). Another option is to delete or move the marked files (*) above to make room for .PRS file.

OR

Change location of Printer Files in Setup to B: then select printer and have .PRS file saved on the printer (.ALL) File diskette. In this case, printing from disk will not be possible - documents have to be retrieved before printing. This setup is ideal for printers with lots of soft fonts and large .PRS and .ALL files.

NOTE: a two floppy system is ideal for not-so-large documents and dot matrix printers with small .PRS files.
