Media
Select a media size that is currently loaded into your printer. You can specify custom media sizes by selecting
Other from the list and then editing the Height and Width values. Height and Width display the size of the
media being used, not the total printable area.
Margin
Displays the margins from the edges of the media. Margins are the areas on the edges of the media where
nothing will print.
Ports [Windows only]
Selects the port to which the printer is connected. Only change the Port selection if you physically change the
port to which your printer is connected.
Parallel Ports (LPT ports)
Parallel Ports are probably the most common method of sending data to output devices. Devices
connected to a Parallel Port are connected directly to the computer with a Parallel cable. There are
several print modes available to Parallel Ports. The most common Parallel Port modes are Standard and
ECP. The recommended mode is ECP port. The mode defines the method of communication between
your computer and your output device. Typically, you set the communication mode for the Parallel Port
in your computer BIOS. To find out how to access your computer's BIOS and change the port setting,
consult the documentation that came with your computer.
Note: To enable ECP mode you may need to turn off the Use standard LPT driver checkbox in the
Communications tab of the Setup Properties.
File Ports
The File Port behaves like a save to file option. Instead of sending data out through a port on your
computer, the File Port option will write the data to a file and save it to a specified location. Use the File
Port to transfer files to another computer, or to troubleshoot a specific output device.
TCP/IP
You must enter an IP address, which maybe obtained from your printer. Use this option if your printer
supports network.
USB-PIA Ports
USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports will automatically appear in the list of ports in RIP Software if you have
properly set up and configured your computer to use USB devices. USB comes standard for most newer
computers, and has become popular for its fast data transfer rate, and its easy connectivity.
Note: USB Ports are only supported on Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000.
