  • Open Windows Control Panel, Printers, search for PC-DMIS xx Converter, right click and select Printer Properties, go to the Ports tab, verify that "nul:" is checked and nothing else. For some reason this may change to LPT1: sometimes, and then you will get a hanging PC-DMIS when trying to produce a PDF.

    Do note that you cannot use the PC-DMIS xx Converter as a 'virtual printer' - make sure that it is not set as Default Printer in Windows, and never select it as your printer in PC-DMIS (or any program)!
