IÕm having
problems printing
from Windows 95.
If flashing slowly and you are printing from a
Macintosh, you may have the printer connected
to a serial port which has been added on to your
computerÕs main board. Such add-on ports may
not be fast enough to sustain the printerÕs high-
speed rate of data transmission. To solve this
problem, connect the printer to one of your
computerÕs built-in ports such as the Printer or
Modem port. Keep in mind, however, that you
must be using a Geo-compatible serial port.
If using the print manager of Windows 3.1x or
the standard print spooler of Windows 95, and
your printer starts printing and stops, you may
need to increase your Transmission Retry Value
from 45 to 900. To do this in Windows 3.1x, go to
Control Panel, click on the Printers icon, and
select the Connect button. To do this in
Windows 95, click the Start button, point to
Settings, and select Printers. When the Printers
window appears, click on the Color Sign Printer
icon with the right mouse button and select the
Properties option. Then, click on the Details tab.
Print with either the 32-Bit Print Spooler or the
Write Direct to Port option selected from within
the printer driver setup (see Section 6-C, D, and
E for more information on these options). In
most cases, one or the other of these options will
provide the best results when printing from
Windows 95.
Due to the wide variety of PC hardware and
software configurations, however, some systems
may print more effectively through the system
spooler of Windows 95. If you choose not to
print with either the 32-Bit Print Spooler or the
Write Direct to Port option selected, but instead
wish to print through the system spooler of
Windows 95, the following tip will help you
optimize your system for printing:
1
. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and
select Printers. When the Printers window
appears, click on the Color Sign Printer icon
using the right mouse button and select the
Properties option.
2
. Select the Details tab, then select the Spool
Settings button.
3
. Select the Print directly to the printer option
and click on OK.
4
. Again from the Details tab, select the Port
Settings button.
