but, in order to confirm the present setting in your computer, as well
as to change it if it does become necessary, carry out the following
procedure.

and click on Printers in the submenu which is displayed.
2. The Printers folder will open. Use the right mouse button to click
on the icon for this printer.
3. Make sure that there is a check mark to the left of Set As Default
in the drop-down menu which is displayed.
If there is no check mark next to it, click on Set As Default and
use the right mouse button to click on the icon for this printer once
again.
4. Click on Properties in the menu which is displayed and then click
on the Details tab in the window which appears.
5. Make sure that the LPT1 port is shown in the text box under Ports.
If it is not, use the mouse to click on the drop-down arrow in the
right of the text box and check the available ports from the drop-
down list which is displayed.
6. Click on the General tab and then on Print. A test page will be
printed out.
* If a Status Window dialogue box appears when Properties is
selected and a test page printed out, check to see that….
• The power cord is connected correctly to the printer.
• An appropriate parallel cable is attached securely to both the
printer and computer ports.
7. Once the test page is printed out successfully and operation is
normal, click on OK to close the Properties dialogue box.
(6) Setting the Printing Parameters

There are 2 methods to opening the Properties dialogue box: from

and click on Printers in the submenu which is displayed.
2. The Printers folder will open. Use the right mouse button to click

dialogue box will appear. It is possible to make settings in the
General tab, the Details tab, the Paper tab and the Graphics tab.
Opening the Properties dialogue box from within an
application

click on Print in the drop-down menu which is displayed.
(Depending on the application in use, the name of the menu
commands may vary, and, in some cases, access may be through
the printing command.)

the text box and select this printer from the drop-down list which
appears.

Paper tab
In order to print out one page of a file at a time directly from within an
application, it is NOT necessary to open the Properties dialogue box.
However, in order to change such settings as the number of copies
desired or to change the orientation of the printout, it is necessary to
change the Paper tab settings.
* There are some applications which allow you to make settings such
as the number of copies from within the application itself. In
general, such settings should be ignored, and only those settings in
the Properties dialogue box used. If the settings within the
application are used, they may be applied simultaneously with
those in the Properties dialogue box and unexpected results may
occur in the printout.
• Paper size
Select the size of paper that is presently set in the printer. To change
the setting, use the Paper size drop-down list to select the
appropriate paper size.
Acceptable sizes of paper for use with this printer: A4 and FOLIO
• Paper source
If the Optional Cassette is installed, select the desired cassette for
paper feed. In this case, selecting Auto will allow the fax to
automatically select the size of paper most appropriate to the job.
