Configuration

file > printer setup

Use this option to select your appropriate printer.

file > page setup

Use this option to set customized page settings

Orientation tab

Common custom settings include the following

  • turn off or on auto page orientation
  • set the reports to print portrait, landscape or computer reduction

Advanced options tab

  • Normally 1252 is the correct setting but you may experiment with other settings or contact the printer manufacture for better font settings

communication > configure

communication > configure > setup

*IMPORTANT settings

  • Lexmark, IBM, HP Laser and Okidata printers nearly universally accept HPT (Host Print Transform).
    • If your printer doesn't tolerate HPT then uncheck it and set the font to Modern. That setting may work better.

communication > configure > setup > printer model selection

If host print transform is select try the following settings

  • IBM/Lexmark printers - try 2380, 2381 or 5204
  • HP Printers - try your model number first then try HPii or HPiv if that fails
  • Okidata printers - try your model number first then try IBM 5204
  • Other printers - find your model number next try IBM 5204 or HPii and HPiv
  • If your printer still won't print correctly you must turn HPT (Host print transform) off
