Setting up PC ports (DOS)

Parallel port setup

If your computer is a PC running DOS and you are using the printer’s
parallel port, use the DOS

MODE

command to disable timeouts on your

computer’s parallel port to ensure that large files will print, even if data
transmission is slow.

1.

Type the following command at the DOS prompt (if LPT1 is not
available, use LPT2):

MODE LPT1:,,P > NUL

See your DOS documentation for details on the

MODE

command.

2.

You can add the

MODE

command to your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file so

that it takes effect every time you turn on your computer. (Refer to
your PC user documentation.)
