Troubleshooting Problem The PC Card is shown as "Ready," but it does not work correctly. System resource conflicts occurred when using PC Cards. Action Verify that: The resources reserved for the PC Card do not conflict with those for other system devices. Refer to "Avoiding System Resource Conflicts When Using PC Cards" on page 184 or open the ThinkPad Features program to resolve a conflict. The resources reserved for the PC Card match the settings in the application program. If you are using a modem card, check the COM number, I/O port address, and IRQ level. If you are using a network card, check the I/O port address, IRQ level, and memory window address. To check the resources assigned to the PC Card, click on the Status button in the PC Card Director program. If you are using an I/O PC Card, it might work if you add the following in the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS 1.SYS /IO =x (or /IO1=x) Note: x shows the PC Card slot number (1 for upper slot, 2 for lower slot, or 12 for both slots) on the computer and /IO1= shows the slot number for an expansion unit or port replicator that is attached to the computer. See "Avoiding System Resource Conflicts When Using PC Cards" on page 184. Printer Problems Problem The printer does not work. Verify that: Action The parallel port is enabled. (Click on the Parallel Port ( ) icon.) The printer is turned on and ready to print. The printer signal cable is connected to the correct connector on the computer. (For the location of the printer connector, see "parallel connector" on page 13.) If the preceding items are correct and the printer still does not work, run the tests described in the printer manual. If the tests show that the printer is OK, have the computer serviced. 164 IBM ThinkPad 560 User's Guide
