Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: cant see parallel port from dos - forgot to mention...

the easier way to boot up in DOS is to use the START-SHUTDOWN-RESTART MSDOS
string. This will give you the closest to Dos and then you should see the
printer output. My systen with Desknc works fine. If you want to run under
windows, make sure your Pninter setup is set to Capture DOS on the LPT1
(probably) port. If your still having trouble, please call at 214-375-9848
and I'll see if we can talk you through this.
