Establishing Communication

If the printer stops while printing from a DOS application and an error message appears on your computer screen, check that you have included the correct Mode command in your computer’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

For MS-DOS 4.0.1 or earlier, use MODE LPT1:,,P For MS-DOS 5.0 and MS-DOS 6.x, use MODE LPT1:

RETRY=R

Replace “LPT1” in the Mode command with the correct port if necessary.
