Connection Method

I would like to use a printer switcher.

Since your printer switcher may not support bi-directional communication,
use a uni-directional interface setting.

I would like to use multiple printer ports for connections.

If the computer is AT-compatible, up to three ports (LPT1 to LPT3) can be
used, as long as they are parallel ports.

Can I use the printer on a network?

Yes, the printer can be used on the network, but only with a one-way inter-
face and when set for one-way communication.

Other problems and operations

How do I delete the printer driver?

For Windows 3.1, go to the control panel and open Printer Setup and select
the driver. Click on Delete.
For Windows 95, see the directions in this guide for reinstalling the driver.

When my display is set for 64,000 or 16,700,000 colors, I run out of memory
when printing.

Windows runs out of memory when there many display colors. Change to
256 colors when printing. Changing the display mode does not change the
print results.

When I print from Notepad in Windows 3.1, the left edge does not print.

This happens whenever you print from Notepad at 600 dpi or more. Switch
to 300 dpi or use a different application.

When I print many sheets continuously, small vertical lines appear on the
right side of the page.

When printing for long periods of time, the print head retains heat and ink
can attach to the paper in places other than just the printing area. After
printing 30 sheets of Letter/A4 sized pages in monochrome or 8 Letter/A4
sheets in color, let the printer cool down before continuing printing.
