Panasonic KX-P6500 - Manual (Page 33)

Using the Printer in Windows
Printer Setup
The Printer Setup displays the primary printer settings
and configuration dialogue that also provides advanced
setting and features.
Connect Port
The Connect Port lets you select a different parallel port
for your printer. You can choose either LPT1, LPT2, or
LPT3. Your PC hardware configuration may limit your
individual options.
PCL Control Panel
The PCL Control Panel displays the PCL Control Panel
window { US’ P. 42). This control panel provides config­
uration options for PCL printing from MS-DOS applica­
tions printed from the MS-DOS icon command line under
Windows.
This setting is effective only when the “Spool as PCL
4.5" has been selected in the DOS Printing Option
window. See below.
DOS Printing Options
The DOS Printing Options provides print emulation op­
tions for DOS printing.
You can select “Spool as PCL 4.5” or “Direct to Port” in
the Printing Mode list box.
Spool as PCL 4.5: makes the PCL Control Panel
settings effective.
Direct to Port: makes the DOS application’s settings
effective.
Some applications may not operate properly if the
“Spool as PCL 4.5” has been selected. In that case,
select “Direct to Port”.
Print Priority
Windows lets you run several applications at the same
time. This helps productivity but means you are sharing
your PC resources among several activities.
The KX-P6500’s priority settings let you control the
priority of the printing activity relative to other applica­
tions running at the same time.
You can select High, Medium, or Low priority. Printing
at high priority produces output faster but may slow
down your system more than the other priority settings.
On the other hand, printing at lower priority lets your
other applications run faster but also means your docu­
ment will take longer to print.
Local Printer Change
Clicking this selection will search which printer,
KX-P6500 or KX-P6100, is connected to serve as a local
printer and automatically change the printer driver to the
corresponding one.
