PRINTER
If you want to print your work on paper, you’ll need to use a printer. You can connect a printer
directly to LPT1 on your WinBook FX. To connect a printer to the WinBook FX, you need a
parallel cable. Some printers use cables with a special connector that plugs into the printer, but
the end that plugs into your WinBook FX must be a standard parallel connector.
WARNING: Make sure the printer is turned OFF before connecting it to the WinBook FX
to ensure that its interfaces are not damaged.
Connecting the Printer
Open the large I/O door on the back of the WinBook FX. This is the I/O door located on the
left side as you face the back of the WinBook FX. Refer to the rear view in Chapter 2,
System
Tour.
LPT1, the parallel printer port, is located on the left side of the large bay. Plug the printer
cable connector into the parallel port, and then screw it into place to secure the connection.
You must have a software driver installed for your particular printer for printing with the
WinBook FX. There are a number of printer drivers included with Windows 95. You can use one
of them, or you can supply your own driver.
