Checking system software settings in Windows
Whenever you have problems printing from a Windows application, you should
check the following three things:
✓

✓
Is the printer you are using correctly selected in your application?
✓
Is the correct port selected?
You should also refer to your Microsoft Windows User’s Guide for other
information that might be helpful. If you still experience problems, consult with
your software dealer.
