Upgrading the Printer Software

If you have problems:

Make sure you are using an IEEE B1284 compliant cable.

Make sure the printer’s parallel port Mode is set to Auto.

If running a DOS window from Windows 95 make sure that one of your printers through Settings/Printers is mapped directly to LPT 1 (not redirected to a network queue). Also check the port settings by selecting the Port Settings... button on the Details tab dialog. Make sure the selection Spool MS-DOS Print Jobs is selected. If still having problems after making these settings, try powering your PC off and on.

(Windows Users) If experiencing time-outs on the host PC (“Problem detected on parallel port, Abort, Retry, Fail”) then you need to set the port to an infinite time-out against busy on the printer. From the command line or as an entry in autoexec.bat type the following command:

mode lpt1:,,b (two commas following the colon)

The “b” option sets the port for infinite time-out. After setting the port to an infinite time-out, try using the copy command again. If the command prompt does not appear within 20 minutes a ctrl-break can be used to abort the copy command without rebooting your computer.

Windows 3.11 users should turn off Print Manager.

In addition consult the section “General Troubleshooting” (page 4-32).
