2Getting Set Up
Setting up PC ports (DOS)
Parallel port setup
If your computer is a PC running DOS and you are using the printer’s parallel port, use the DOS MODE command to disable timeouts on your computer’s parallel port to ensure that large files will print, even if data transmission is slow.
1.Type the following command at the DOS prompt (if LPT1 is not available, use LPT2):
MODE LPT1:,,P > NUL
See your DOS documentation for details on the MODE command.
2.You can add the MODE command to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that it takes effect every time you turn on your computer. (Refer to your PC user documentation.)
