TeraTerm (located on the Accessories CD-ROM) is a Windows based configuration utility that allows the
user to make changes to the existing printer setup via a direct connection to the host serial port, or any
port with a Windows driver assigned to it. The following list highlights what operations can be defined in
the different menu sections:
TeraTerm will not be able to connect to the printer if the Windows driver is installed on the same

port. To temporality resolve this issue, re-assign the Windows driver port to "File". This will free the
port and allow TeraTerm to communicate with the printer.
Ports: Configure the COM ports or give the printer an IP-address (network settings).
