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.)
