Configuring the Tektronix Windows printer driver

the Printers icon in the Control Panel.
2.
Choose your printer from the list of installed printers.
3. Choose the Set As Default Printer button if you want to select your
printer as the default.
4. Choose the Connect button; the Connect dialog box appears.
5.
Select the port the printer is connected to. Your printer is connected to
your computer through one of the computer's communications ports.
You need to tell the driver which port your printer uses so the driver
can print your documents.
The two main types of communications ports are parallel ports and
serial ports; your computer may have one or more of each. Generally,
your printer is connected through LPT1: if it is connected to a parallel
port, or through COM1: if it is connected to a serial port. If you have
multiple ports, your printer may be connected to another, such as
COM2:.
Note The printer's configuration page contains the information you need to
set up the printer's port.
For a parallel port set up in Windows: Select your parallel (LPT) port
in the list.
For a serial port set up in Windows: Select your serial (COM) port in
the list. Choose the Settings button to see the Settings dialog box. Fill
in each item according to your configuration, then choose the OK
button. Refer to your Windows documentation for details, or ask your
network administrator for help.
