PROBLEMS PRINTING FROM WINDOWS Cannot configure for parallel connection. Possible cause The computer does not support bi-directional parallel interface. Parallel cable does not meet specifications. The interface is disabled. Configuration procedure was not correctly followed or cancelled. Parallel cable is disconnected or faulty. A converter, buffer or extension cable is being used. Remedy There is no fix for this problem. You should only use a computer that does support a bi-directional parallel interface. Use a bi-directional parallel cable to IEEE 1284- 1994 standard. Check that the parallel interface is set to enable. Configure again from the beginning. Reconnect or try another cable. Test by connecting printer and computer directly.
