SETTING UP

Using MS-DOS to Specify Serial Interface Settings

For an IBM PC or compatible device, use the following MS-DOS MODE commands to set the computer serial settings to match the printer factory settings:

MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P

MODE LPT1:=COM1

To activate these settings whenever you turn the computer on, write the MODE commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Make sure that the MODE.COM file is included in your root directory.

If the printer still doesn’t work, consult your dealer or someone experienced in serial interface communications.

If an error occurs during printing with Windows, simply printing the page again will cause the printed characters to be garbled. To avoid this problem, execute reset from the control panel or turn off the printer, then print the page again.

You are now finished setting up and testing the printer. To familiarize yourself with everyday printer operations, such as loading paper, selecting print features, and printing, see Chapters 3 and 4.
