Making general settings before using the printer

The printer driver requires setting items that are common to all print jobs, including the port to which the printer is connected and any optional devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made using tabs available in a Properties dialog box after the printer driver has been installed or whenever the operating environment changes.

The most common settings were made when the printer driver was installed, so you do not usually need to change them. Some items must, however, be changed in the following cases.

Cases where changes are necessary	Applicable tabs
• You want to add a comment to distinguish the printer	General
from others.
• The connection port has been changed on the	Details
computer.
• You want to change the conditions for the display of a
timeout error.
• You want to designate a port to which the machine is
connected via a network. (This setting must be made
on a computer that is connected to the controller via a
network.)
