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 that 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 printerÕs conÞguration page contains the information you
need to setup the printerÕs port. Refer to Chapter 8, ÒModifying
Printer Operation,Ó for instructions on printing the
conÞguration page.
For a parallel port setup in Windows: Select your parallel (LPT)
port in the list.
For a serial port setup 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 conÞguration, then choose
the OK button. Refer to your Windows documentation for details,
or ask your network administrator for help.
For a network port setup in Windows: Select your network (LPT
or COM) port in the list. Choose the Network button to see the
Printers-Network Connections dialog box. Fill in each item
according to your conÞguration, then choose the OK button. Refer
to your Windows documentation for details, or ask your network
administrator for help.
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 send a
PostScript document to a Þle instead of to the printer. For more
information about communication ports, refer to your Windows
documentation.
