USB and Parallel Port Connection Requirements
Using Netira CT with an USB or parallel port connection requires a Windows driver to be installed and the
driver to be set to “Print directly to the printer”. Other connections (e.g. serial and LAN) do not require the
Windows driver or this setting. Install the Windows driver as described in section 3.6. Then follow the steps
below to set the driver setting:
1) Open the list of installed printers on your PC.
Windows XP
Open Printer and Faxes by clicking the Start
button, and then Settings, and then click on Printer
and Faxes.
Windows 7
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start
button, and then click on Devices and Printers.
2) Right click on the printer and select Properties
from the drop down menu.
3) In the Driver Properties window, click on the
Advanced tab.
4) Click the “Print directly to the printer” radio
button. Then click OK.
USB and parallel port connections will now be
available for use with Netira CT.
