Features and Usage (continued)

Some printers may not function correctly because their drivers are expecting a true LPT port for communication. If you encounter problems with bi-directional communication, check to see if your printer driver allows you to DISABLE bi-directional communication. You can do this also by clicking on “Start”, select “Settings” then right-click on your printer, choose “Properties” and then the “Details” tab. Then, click on “Spool Settings”:

Click on “Disable bi-directional support for this printer” then click OK. If it is grayed out, then your printer driver does not support bi-directional communication in the first place.

You can also try replacing the current printer driver with a Raster or Output-only driver. This can be obtained from your printer manufacturer’s web site, or from their technical support.
