Printing with the Psion Series 5, 5mx, 7 and Revo
Note: All occurrences of Revo in this document also refer to Revo Plus unless otherwise specified.
This document gives an overview of the various methods that can be used to print from the Series 5, 5mx, 7 and Revo. Further information can be found in the Printing chapter of the Series 5, 5mx, 7 and Revo User Guide. Some basic knowledge of your Psion is assumed.
Note that Revo can only print via Infrared or a PC.
Connecting to a printer
With a Series 5, 5mx, 7 and Revo, you can connect to a printer in a number of ways. The one you should use depends on the printer you are using.
•If your printer has an IrDA infrared port, you can ‘connect’ your Psion simply by pointing it at the printer when you wish to print. Your printer and Psion will need to be within about one metre of each other.
•If you are using a printer that has a parallel port, you can use Psion’s Parallel Printer Link to connect to your Psion. With Revo you will need the Infrared printer link.
•If your printer only has a serial printer port, you will need to use the PsiWin PC Docking cable and a Serial Printer Converter (not Revo).
•You can also connect to a printer using the PsiWin software, printing from the Psion through your PC to a printer attached to it.
Setting up your Psion
When printing a file, you must tell the Psion two things. You must make sure the Psion knows which type of printer you are printing to, by selecting the correct “printer driver”. You will normally also need to specify which method you are using to connect to the printer.
In those applications that have printing capability, there will be a Printing command on the File menu. From this you can select four options: Page setup, Print setup, Print preview and Print.
