2 Getting Set Up
2-18 Phaser 300X Color Printer
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.)
