Redirect printing
Redirects printer output. You must be a member of the Administrators group to redirect printing.
Note
To set up your system so that it sends parallel printer output to a serial printer, you must use the mode command twice. The first time, you must use mode to configure the serial port. The second time, you must use mode to redirect parallel printer output to the serial port you specified in the first mode command.
Syntax
mode LPT<n>[:]=COM<m>[:]
Parameters
Parameter
Description
LPT<n>[:]
Specifies the number of the LPT to configure. Typically, this means providing a value from LTP1: through LTP3:, unless your system includes special parallel port support. This parameter is required.
COM<m>[:]
Specifies the COM port to configure. Typically, this means providing a value from COM1: through COM9:, unless your system has special hardware for additional COM ports. This parameter is required.

Examples
To redirect a serial printer that operates at 4800 baud with even parity, and is connected to the COM1 port (the first serial connection on your computer), type:
mode com1 48,e,,,b
mode lpt1=com1
To redirect parallel printer output from LPT1 to COM1, and then to print a file using LPT1, type the following command before you print the file:
mode lpt1
This command prevents the redirection the file from LPT1 to COM1.
