Difficulty Software "Unable to write to Difficulties LPT1" or "LPT1 (Continued) already in use" Error Message appears. "MFC is Busy" or "MFC Connect Failure" Error Message appears. Video Capture Difficulty LCD does not show "Video: Press Copy Capture Ready." Suggestions 1. Make sure the MFC is on (plugged into the AC outlet) and that it is connected directly to the computer using the bundled IEEE-1284 bi-directional parallel cable. The cable must not go through another peripheral device (such as a Zip Drive, External CD-ROM Drive, or Switch box). 2. Make sure the MFC is not displaying an error message on the LCD Display. 3. Make sure no other device drivers, which also communicate through the parallel port, are running automatically when you boot up the computer (such as, drivers for Zip Drives, External CD-ROM Drive, etc.) Suggested areas to check: (Load=, Run= command lines in the win.ini file or the Statup Group) 4. Check with you computer manufacturer to confirm that the computer's parallel port settings in the BIOS are set to support a bi-directional machine; i.e. (Parallel Port Mode - ECP) Check the video cable connection to the MFC's RCA pin jack. Check that the video equipment is sending a signal (video equipment is turned on and set to the correct setting). TROUBLESHOOTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 21 - 9
