File names
If you plan to share your files with a computer using a pre-
Windows
®
95 version of the Windows
®
 operating system, the 
file name must be no more than eight characters long. 
Typically the file name also has an extension, consisting of a 
period and up to three additional characters. 
You may use all the letters and numbers on the keyboard plus 
these characters: _ ^ $ ~ ! # % & { } ( ) @ and ‘. MS-DOS
®
 
file names are not case-sensitive and must not contain spaces.
Using a file extension 
Most programs assign an extension to the file name that 
identifies the file as being created in the program with a 
particular format. For example, Microsoft
®
 Word saves files 
with a .doc extension. Any file name with an extension of 
“.doc” is assumed to be a Microsoft
®
 Word file. Creating your 
own extension is usually unwise, since the program is 
unlikely to recognize a strange extension and may refuse to 
handle your file correctly.
Printing your work
Your computer must be connected to the printer before you 
can print. Depending on your type of printer, you may also 
need to install printer software (drivers). For more 
information see 
.
HINT: You only need to set up the printer the first time you 
connect it. If you use more than one printer or are changing 
printers, you will need to set up the Windows
®
XP operating 
system to run with the additional printer(s).
If you are connected to the printer and have installed the 
necessary printer software, you are ready to print.
