SoftWindows, ImageWriter II, Type 1 Errors When Printing (7/94)

I have an ImageWriter II connected to my Power Macintosh modem port. I can print fine from the Macintosh environment, but whenever I try to print from within SoftWindows I get a type 1 errors part way through or at the end of the printing process, and SoftWindows quits. I have Epson LQ2500 emulation selected in the SoftWindows printer port selection under the Setup menu.

SoftWindows defaults to assigning com1: to the modem port. This can cause errors when printing, and often causes a type 1 error to come up. The solution recommended by Insignia is to have both com1: and com2: serial ports set to "none" within the "PC serial port" selection under the Setup menu, this will prevent the conflicts from occurring.
