computer’s parallel port and the corresponding port on the printer.

I want to set up my location to use the internal modem.

To properly use your communications software (e.g., HyperTerminal), you need to set up your location:

1Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel.

2Double-click on Modems.

3Click on Dialing Properties and begin setting up your location. Refer to the Windows manual.

I get a “Not Enough Space for Allocation” error message from the Sleep Manager program.

This is an error message that may appear when Sleep Manager is creating the Hibernation file. There are several different reasons that may cause this error:

The hard disk has enough free space, but this free space exists as small fragments.

The free disk space that Sleep Manager requires needs to be contiguous. To solve this problem, use tools such as Disk Defragmenter to compact these free disk spaces. Then run Sleep Manager again to create the file.

Disk compression utilities are used.

Sleep Manager can work with most compression software. However, Sleep Manager can only create the space on a host drive. A host drive stores original file information and cannot be compressed. The free space on the host drive is usually very small, so the compression software needs to be run again to enlarge the size of the host (uncompressed) drive for Sleep Manager.
