Completing the
connection for
Windows 3.1
To print from Windows 3.1 you need to:
•
Set up the KX-P8420 to accept print jobs from your computer.
•
Configure a port on each Windows 3.1 computer for the network or
connection type.
Selecting a printer port
When you install a printer, Windows assigns it to a default parallel printer
port. If the KX-P8420 printer is connected to your computer through a
network or you want to assign it to a different port, you need to change the
port assignment. For information on which port to use, see your system
administrator.
To select a printer port:
1
In the Control Panel window, double-click the Printers
icon.
2
In the Printers window, select the Panasonic
KX-P8420 on LPT1: in the Installed Printers list box.
3
Click Connect.
The Connect window appears.
4
Connect the KX-P8420 to the same port as your
network.
To print to a file, select FILE.
Printing to a file is useful if the KX-P8420 is not at your site.
However, if you select the FILE port, you cannot print to a printer
until you select a network or printer port. (In some applications, you
can select the FILE port from the application's Print dialog box; this
is preferable for temporary use since it doesn't require resetting the
port in the Control Panel.)
