To communicate properly with the printer, the
| Parallel DOS Commands |
| Most IBM and AT compatible computers default to a parallel printer |
| port. To ensure that information is sent to your parallel printer port, |
| type the following |
| include it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: |
| MODE LPT1: , , P |
| For |
| MODE LPT1: , , B |
|
|
Note | This example assumes that you are using parallel printer port LPT1. If |
| you are using LPT2 or LPT3, replace LPT1 in the example with the |
| printer port that you are using. |
| Since the MODE command is an external |
| |
| program named MODE.COM is run when the MODE command is |
| invoked), the program file must be contained in the root directory, or in |
| a directory specified in a preceding PATH command in the |
| AUTOEXEC.BAT file. |
| After changing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, reboot the computer to |
| initiate the changes. |
