207 T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G A N D M A I N T E N A N C E MFC 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 MFCs have a bi-directional parallel port function. Since Windows® 3.xx does not support bi-directional communication on the parallel port, each peripheral vendor has developed and supplied a bi-directional device driver, which will be installed into Windows® 3.xx. If you install two or more different bi-directional device drivers into Windows®, they may conflict with each other and cause problems. Please make sure you have installed the MFC driver, by executing SETUP.EXE from your CD-ROM drive, following the instructions on the CD-ROM label. The bi-directional communication may be disabled when the driver is installed from the Add menu in "Printers" of the Control Panel. Please restart Windows®. 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.
