Section 2: Printer Drivers
Printer Drivers Installing Printer Drivers Windows 3.x The Printer Drivers that come with the IP-411 Print Controller are actually software programs that enable you to control all the printing settings for the selected printer. Before you can print from your application (e.g., spreadsheet or word processor), the appropriate printer driver must be installed on your computer system.
Printer Drivers Installing Printer Drivers Windows 3.x Assigning a Port By default, LPT1 will be assigned to the newly installed printer. 1. To assign a different port, click on the Connect button. 2. In the Ports list, select the port you want to assign to the printer. NOTE: When installing to a network, up to three LPT printers can be assigned (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3) without having to add more through the WIN.INI file.
Printer Drivers Checking the Version of A Printer Driver Windows 3.x There may be times when you need to know if you are using the most up-to-date printer driver. Use the following procedure to check the version of a printer driver. 1. Highlight the driver in the Printers dialog box. 2. Click on the Setup button. 3. Click on the About button. 4. The About dialog box will be displayed with the printer version shown.
Printer Drivers Printing Modes Output Quality High Mode (PostScript) High Mode produces 256-level grayscale printing with 8 bits per pixel. Text Mode (PCL/PostScript) Text Mode performs normal quality 2-level grayscale printing. Normal/Reverse Print Order Some applications have a Reverse Print Order setting; if selected, the setting will do exactly as it indicates. Duplex Mode Stackless duplex means that the duplex mode makes unlimited 2-sided prints.
Printer Drivers Printing Modes Real Time Mode Print The print controller performs page printing and starts printing as soon as it starts receiving a print job. This is different from document printing, where a printer starts printing only after receiving the entire print job. Dual Access The Dual Access function provides an efficient means for the printer to simultaneously handle different types of printer/copier jobs.
Printer Drivers Tray Selection/Paper Selection The system selects the paper size and paper tray in the manner specified below. ? When Paper Size is Not Specified When a print job does not specify paper size, the default paper size will be used. ? When a Paper Tray is Specified When the print job specifies a tray, one of the following occurs: (a) If the requested tray contains paper, the printer will use the requested tray.
Printer Drivers Font Selection Standard fonts of the PostScript and PCL 5e languages are displayed on the following pages. The PostScript fonts shown are the visual equivalent of the Adobe fonts with the same names. A PostScript compatible file system is provided for storing downloaded fonts or other files. At this time, PCL 5e does not support storing downloaded fonts on a hard drive. Fonts that are downloaded with a print job are lost when the language changes or when the power is turned off.
Printer Drivers Font Characteristics A font is described by its Symbol Set and font characteristics, such as, Typeface, Point Size, Pitch, Spacing, Stroke Weight and Style. Symbol Set: A Symbol Set relates to the unique set of all available alphanumeric, punctuation, and special symbols in a font.
