Connecting the Machine
Parallel Cable Requirements
The PC INTERFACE KIT TYPE 180 connects to a computer via a parallel port
and a parallel cable. It is your responsibility to provide the cable necessary for
the interface between the computer and the PC INTERFACE KIT TYPE 180. This
cable is not provided with the machine. The machine’s parallel connection is a
standard bi-directional parallel interface. It requires a standard 36-pin parallel
cable compliant with IEEE P1284 and a parallel port available on the computer.
English
Note
❒ Do not use a parallel cable longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
❒ Connector type 57–30360 (AMPHENOL) or equivalent.
❒ “IEEE Std 1284–1994 compliant” is printed on a P1284 compliant cable.

OVERVIEW
How to Connect to a Computer
Connect the machine to a computer using a parallel cable compliant with IEEE
P1284 (supplied by you).
Follow these steps to connect the machine to the computer:
Make sure you have the correct cable.
A
Make sure both the machine and the computer are turned off.
B
Attach the ferrite core provided with the PC INTERFACE KIT TYPE 180 to the
C
printer cable. The ferrite core should be attached to the cable close to the parallel port.
Plug the 36–pin end of the parallel cable into the parallel port on the left side
D
of the controller cover on the back of the machine.
Squeeze the wire clips on each side of the connector together until they snap
E
into place. The clips hold the cable securely in place.
Plug the end of the parallel cable into the computer's parallel port.
F
Note
❒
The WinStyler T180 uses the bi-directional data transfer mode through the
LPT port of your PC. Consult your PC owner's manual to find out how to see
if the LPT port is set for bi-directional data transfers.
Turn on the machine and then the computer.

Making the Multipurpose Feeder for Printer Only
Reference
Refer to the “User Parameters (function 63)” in the Facsimile Operator's Manual. (SW10, Digit5 1; for Printer Only)
Note
❒ Due to the heat used in fixing toner, postcards come out slightly curled. Be-
fore you print on the opposite side, either straighten the postcards out or introduce a curl in the opposite direction.
❒ When loading A5 paper into the multipurpose feeder, set the paper so that the
long-edges are parallel with the side fences. Set the size for the multipurpose
feeder to “OTHER SIZE” using the operation panel. You can set “A5 (210 x
148 mm)” only for receiving faxes.

2. Setting up — Software
System Requirements
Operating System
Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0
PC
Any computer which meets with the requirements specified by Microsoft for
running Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0, can support the WinStyler T180.
For optimal performance, the following CPU's are recommended.
Windows 95/98 Pentium 120 MHz
Windows NT 4.0 Pentium 166 MHz
Note
❒ The WinStyler T180 cannot run on a 286 or earlier system.
I/O
Standard PC parallel printer port and cable.
Memory
English
Check the amount of memory of your PC. Adding more memory to your PC will
increase overall system and printer performance.
Recommended memory:
Windows 95/98 32MB
Windows NT 4.0 64MB
Disk Space
About 4 MB disk space for files, and up to approximately 12 MB disk space for
virtual memory. You can access Virtual Memory settings through the System
utility in the Control Panel.
If you have more than 8 MB RAM, you won't need all 12 MB of virtual memory.
Total PC RAM plus virtual memory should add up to at least 16 MB.
7
Setting up — Software
Allocating Virtual Memory
It is recommended to let Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0 automatically handle virtual memory. If not, you can allocate virtual memory by yourself via the
System utility in the Control Panel. The WinStyler T180 software requires 16 MB
of total memory, divided between your PC memory (a minimum of 8 MB) and
Windows virtual memory. If your system has 8 MB of PC RAM, then you must
allocate at least 8 MB of virtual memory. If you have 5 MB of RAM, then you
need at least 11 MB of virtual memory, and so on.
Reference
Refer to the online Help on Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 for information on allocating virtual memory.

PC-PRINTING
Windows 95/98/NT 4.0– Printing a
Document from Windows
The procedure for printing is different for each application. For full details on
printing, see the online Help that comes with your application.
12
Windows 95/98 — Printing from a DOS Application
Windows 95/98 — Printing from a DOS
Application
The WinStyler T180 was designed to print from DOS applications as well as
from Windows applications. The WinStyler T180 also provides a PCL Control
Panel for DOS PCL printing. This allows you to change the printer settings of
DOS print jobs.
Note
❒ This function only works in Windows 95/98.
❒ Some DOS applications may override these settings.
❒ No cartridges required
• Some conventional printers include cartridge slots that allow you to install
additional fonts into the printer. Since the WinStyler T180 creates printer
page images on your system before downloading to the printer, installing
a cartridge could not affect the final printout. Instead, the WinStyler T180
uses the fonts installed in your Windows system.
❒ The WinStyler T180 PCL is compatible with PCL4.5.(HP LASER JET IIP)
How to Access the PCL Control Panel from Windows
Adjustments made to the PCL Control Panel will have no affect on print jobs
made from Windows applications. These settings will only affect print jobs that
are made with applications running in DOS.
