Using MS-DOS to Specify Serial Interface Settings
For an IBM PC or compatible device, use the following MS-DOS
MODE commands to set the computer serial settings to match the
printer factory settings:
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P
MODE LPT1:=COM1
To activate these settings whenever you turn the computer on, write the
MODE commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Make sure that the
MODE.COM file is included in your root directory.
If the printer still doesn’t work, consult your dealer or
someone experienced in serial interface communications.
• If an error occurs during printing with Windows, simply
printing the page again will cause the printed characters to
be garbled. To avoid this problem, execute reset from the
control panel or turn off the printer, then print the page
again.
You are now finished setting up and testing the printer. To familiarize
yourself with everyday printer operations, such as loading paper,
selecting print features, and printing, see Chapters 3 and 4.

environment. Special printer drivers for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0,
