3. Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 Printer Driver Settings

The PH640 comes with separate printer drivers for receipt printing, slip printing, and validation printing.

These drivers enable the printer to operate on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 systems. Make settings at

each of these drivers as necessary to set up receipt, slip, and validation printing.

Note that the Receipt driver supports two print modes: Raster (the default) and Line.
