Understanding
The Microsoft Windows Printing System manages the communications between your computer and your
pritner. It divides the work between the two, helping the pritner and the computer work together to
optimize performance.
The Microsoft Windows Printing System processes documents from any Microsoft Windows application
faster than traditional methods, and lets you quickly see the status of your print job. If you install the
included sounds files, your computer will actually tell you verbally what your printer is doing.
The Microsoft Windows Printing System includes on-line help, which will answer most of
your printing questions. During a print operation, press F1 or select the Help button in the
dialog box to view the help information.
Printing
One-way communication from computer to printer has been the standard for years. The Microsoft
Windows Printing System offers dynamic two-way communication. With the Microsoft Windows
Printing System, your computer knows what your printer is doing.
To take advantage of the dynamic two-way communication, one end of a bi-directional parallel cable
connects to the printer and the other end connects directly to your computer.
You must use a bi-directional cable for proper operation.
