TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

The Machine Connect Failure or Bi-directional

Communication Error

Recently, some printers have included a function to show the printer

status on the PC display. Such printers use the bi-directional

communication parallel port between the printer and the PC. Our

machine also has a bi-directional parallel port function. If you install two

or more different bi-directional device drivers into Windows

, they

might conflict with each other and cause some problems.

Please make sure you have installed the machine driver by running

SETUP.EXE from your CD-ROM drive, as instructed on the CD-ROM

label. The bi-directional communication may be disabled when the driver

is installed from Add menu in “Printers” of Control Panel. Please restart

Windows

after installing the drivers.

Remove the conflicting situation caused by one of the following printer

drivers. Review the following sections that apply to any additional printer

drivers you may have installed into your Windows

software.

HP LaserJet series II, IID, IIP, IIP+, III, IIID, IIIP or IV Plus

LexMark WinWriter 200

Brother HL-6/6V/10h/630series/660series/960/1260/

WL-660:

The Resource Manager for the machine may not work if the printer

driver for the above models is installed after the installation of the

machine printer driver.

In this case, please install the machine printer driver again or copy BI-

DI.386 from the CD-ROM to the Windows/System directory. (NOTE:

BI-DI.386 on Disk 1 is not compressed.)

HP LaserJet series II, IID, IIP, IIP+, III, IIID or IIIP:

If Microsoft Windows

Printing System for above models are used, you

have to modify the “win.ini” file which is in the Windows directory to

turn the printer’s bi-directional function off.

We recommend you take a back-up before you modify the WIN.INI or

SYSTEM.INI, just in case.

Open the file “win.ini” by using the “Notepad” application. You can find

the following statement in the [spooler] section.
