Fairbanks InterAct FB3000 Series - Manual (Page 102)

These settings must agree with the corresponding settings for the ticket printer. It should be
documented in your printer manual how to determine and configure its serial settings.
Device Type
Select your printer type.
Windows Default and Direct to Printer Port are the only two parallel (using ports LPT1, LPT2 or
LPT3) printers available. When Windows Default is specified, all ticket printing goes through the
Windows print spooler and is output to the Windows default printer. With Direct to Printer Port,
ticket printing bypasses Windows completely and data is sent directly to the parallel port.
All other printers in the list are serial (COM1 - COM8) printers and require serial port settings.
If you don't have a ticket printer, select None from the list.
Connector
Select the port, either parallel (LPT1 - LPT3) or serial (COM1 - COM8), that your printer is
connected. The list may contain ports that are not available on your PC. If you attempt to use an
unavailable port, you will receive the error message "Error 68 - Device Unavailable" or "Error 57
Device I/O error" when you attempt to test the print connection (see Test button)
