(This updates the interface with the new USB Mode.)<\/strong><br>Then please follow the Windows Driver Installation Guide under the Drivers section to complete the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>280 printers with USB interface built before June 2009 will not be compatible with Windows 8.1\/10.&nbsp; You can verify the printer build date by looking at the Serial label on the bottom of the printer.&nbsp; The build date must be F09 or better. (Where a=JAN, B=FEB, C=MAR, etc. and two digit year.)You need the \u201cUSB Mode\u201d option in the Configuration to work in Windows 8.1\/10 as this option needs to be set to \u201cUSB Printer Only\u201d. If this option is not available in the Configuration of your 280 printer, it is not Windows 8.1\/10 compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This option is not available in units older than June 2009 and some specialized or proprietary firmware. (Example: PE2818)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would need to replace with a 280 of newer vintage with standard firmware or our new 9000 printer. Standard firmware may not work with systems that require proprietary or special firmware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOTE: The 280 printer is no longer manufactured.
