Installing the Printer and Drivers
2-26 Phaser 550 Color Printer
For a network port set up in Windows: Select your network (LPTx or
COMx) port in the list. Choose the Network button to see the
Printers-Network Connections 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.
Note Disable the Print Manager when using the network.
Other communications ports may include EPT: (an interface for the
IBM Page-Printer, which requires the installation of a special card in
your computer), and LPT1.OS2 and LPT2.OS2, which Windows may
require if you are using certain spoolers or other add-on software
programs. The port FILE: lets you write a PostScript document to a
file instead of to the printer. For more information about
communication ports, refer to your Windows documentation.
6. Set the Time-outs. These options regulate your computer's
communications with its printer ports.
Device Not Selected: (For parallel – LPT – ports only) Type a value of
0, or between 15 and 999, in this text box to change the number of
seconds Windows waits before notifying you that a printer is off-line.
The default is 15 seconds.
Transmission Retry: Type a value between 45 and 850 in this text box
to change the number of seconds Windows waits after a print job has
begun sending characters to the printer before sending an Alert
message that the printer is no longer accepting data. The default
setting is 45 seconds. When using the Print Manager with a shared
printer, you should set this option to a larger value, such as 600
(10 minutes) to avoid the Alert message when printing multiple page
documents.
7. Choose the OK button to return to the Printers dialog box, then
choose the set up button. A dialog box appears with the name of the
printer you selected across the top. Use this dialog box to select paper
source, paper size, and image orientation.
8. Choose the Options button to see the Options dialog box. Make sure
that the Color box is checked to print in color.
9. From the Options dialog box, choose the Advanced button to see the
Advanced Options dialog box. Make sure that the Use PostScript
Level 2 Features check box is checked on.
