/STATUS Specifies that you want to obtain the status of a specified device or of all accessible
devices on the system.
LPTn[:] Defines the number of the LPT port to configure. Generally, this means supplying a
name from LPT1: through LPT3: unless your system includes special parallel port support.
CON[:] Defines the console as the target for configuration or a status check.
NOTE The Mode utility only supports physical devices. You can??™t use it to configure virtual
devices. For example, if you redirect a network printer to use LPT1:, the Mode utility won??™t display
any status information about it and you won??™t be able to configure the device in any way.
However, if you have a physical LPT1 port on your machine, you can use the Mode utility to
configure it. Because every workstation computer has a physical console, you can always use the
Mode utility to configure the CON device and obtain status information about it.
CP Configures or queries the code page information for the selected device. Table 5.1 contains a list
of the code pages that Windows supports natively. You can add support for additional code pages.
SELECT=yyy Determines the number of the code page to use with the selected device.
