System configuration
MS-DOS system configuration
To communicate properly with the printer, the MS-DOS
®
environment requires the addition or
modification of mode commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Add or modify the mode command(s),
depending on the interface configuration, as follows:
Parallel DOS commands
Most IBM- and AT-compatible computers default to a parallel printer port. To ensure that information
is sent to the parallel printer port, type the following MS-DOS command at the MS-DOS prompt or
include it in the Autoexec.bat file:
MODE LPT1: , , P
For MS-DOS version 4.0 and above, type:
MODE LPT1: , , B
Note This example assumes that you are using parallel printer port LPT1. If you are using LPT2 or LPT3,
replace LPT1 in the example with the printer port that you are using.
Since the mode command is an external MS-DOS command (a program named mode.com is run
when the mode command is invoked), the program file must be contained in the root directory, or in
a directory specified in a preceding path command in the Autoexec.bat file.
After changing the Autoexec.bat file, restart the computer to initiate the changes.
