Item | Description |
Printer | Select the printer type. Xpanel supports inkjet and laser printers supporting PCL4.
|
 Port | Select a port that the printer is connected to. If the printer is connected to the Xpanel via the USB host port, select the [LPT1:]option. The LPT1 port is automatically detected and displayed when the printer is ready. If the printer is connected with the network, select the [Network] option. In this case, the ‘Net Path’ field will be enabled. |
Net Path | If you wish to connect to a printer on a network, you must enter the following path: \\PC_name\Printer_name |

Draft Mode | If the option is deselected, the size of the printed image decreases though the image is clearly printed out. |
Color | This option is enabled when you select ‘PCL Inkjet’. |
Print Range | Indicates the target pages to be printed. The options except ‘All’ are disabled. |
Orientation | Assign the orientation of the printout. |
Margins | Assign the margin of the printout. |
d) If the ‘Port’ is chosen as ‘Network’, the Xpanel tries to connect the PC via the network and the ‘Logon’ dialog box will appear. Enter the correct user name and password and press the [OK] button.
e) If the login information was entered correctly, the following message will appear. If [Yes] is chosen, the entered password will be permanently stored in the system. Otherwise, the Xpanel will ask for the password every time you try to use the network printer.
