6.11 Automatic Handshaking

A common error is mismatched protocol settings between Control Panel and the PostScript driver. The Windows 3.1 driver will automatically download code to the printer to select the appropriate handshaking if the printer is connected to a serial port. If the printer is connected to a parallel port hardware, standard handshaking is used; network connections do not require handshaking. Consequently, the Handshake button has been removed.
