Guest Gareth Rankin Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The 5240 has been a good printer for ETS use, the only negative is the lag time between finishing unikon base station prompts and the printer to start printing, must be around 6-10 seconds, Taurus system is even slower with a lag time of 12+ secs before printing begins. If anyone knows of a faster printer then it would be great to know for when club is going to renew?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Our club has this printer - anybody know which connection is used ( on the back of the base station) when installing the printer driver? There is a choice of about 10!! SELECT CONNECTION Select the port your printer is connected toCOM1COM2COM3COM4FILE: LPT1LPT2LPT3SHRFAXUSB001XPS Port UNIKON offer no help....! We are assuming that - because it is a parallel port - it will be one of the LPT options - any help anyone? (Parallel port to printer - and parallel port to base station - it will not be connected directly to the laptop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paulrstokes Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I thought the idea of a parallel printer port to parallel printer port was it uses a computer language so no drivers need to be installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCHEQHEN Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I thought the idea of a parallel printer port to parallel printer port was it uses a computer language so no drivers need to be installed I think there is then a connection from base station to laptop.................to do the result I didn't (and don't) set it up.........
