Making General Settings Before Using the Printer

The printer driver requires setting of items that are common to all print
jobs, including the port to which the printer cable is connected and option-
al devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made us-
ing property sheets available from the Properties command after the
printer driver has been installed or whenever the operating environment is
changed.
The most common settings were made when the printer driver was in-
stalled, meaning that you do not usually bother to change them. Some
items must, however, be changed in the following cases.
Cases where changes are necessary
You want to add a comment to distinguish the printer
from others
You want to share the machine with other computers
connected to the same network (this setting must be
made on the computer directly connected to the ma-
chine)
The computer's connecting port has been changed
You want to change the conditions for the display of
a timeout error
You want to designate a port to which the machine is
connected via a network (this setting must be made
on a computer connected to the machine via a net-
work)
You want to restrict use condition of printer.
You want to change settings in spool condition.
