To print directly to the printer, you can use the default setting of 5 seconds.
3. In your computer’s BIOS settings, set Parallel Port Mode to Compatible.
To access the BIOS settings, restart the computer and press the key indicated on your
monitor as soon as the computer starts up. You may have to scroll through several
screens to reach the parallel port settings. After setting the Parallel Port Mode to
Compatible, save your changed setting and exit.
TO PREPARE THE PRINTER FOR PARALLEL PORT PRINTING:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Printers.
2. Click the DocuColor printer icon and choose Properties from the File menu.
3. Click the Details tab and make sure the box “Print to the following port:” reads exactly
as follows: LPT 1: (Printer Port).
NOTE:Check this box carefully. It may read LPT 1: (ECP Printer Port), which is not
equivalent to LPT 1: (Printer Port).
If this box does not read LPT 1: (Printer Port), change the port setting now, as
described in “To prepare the port for parallel port printing:” on page 24, and then
return to this procedure. You may need your Windows 95 system CD.
