User’s Guide for Select™ Platinum Series™ Printers
•
When the printer is installed, the default spool setting is “Spool printing so
program finishes printing faster.” Use this setting, not “Print directly to printer.”
•
When the printer is installed, “Enable bi-directional support” is selected. This
setting is required to display messages, print test cards, and for normal printer-
driver communication. The printer or driver might stop operating if bi-directional
communication is disabled.
•
When the printer is directly networked to a PC, the Color Settings page can be
used from all PCs. The Printhead page of Advanced Setup should be used only
from the administrative PC.
•
When the printer is networked to more than one PC, make sure to select the same
ribbon type on all network-connected PCs.
•
A user with Full Control permission on Windows NT, or a user with Allow
permission for Print, Manage Printer, and Manage Documents (on Windows 2000
or XP) should use the Properties or Printing Preferences dialog boxes. A user with
administrator rights also can use these dialog boxes. On the client PC when a
printer is shared, a user with Print permission can use these dialog boxes.
