Problem: Printer does not print or prints garbage.

Solutions:

•Disable the printer's bi-directional software (see attached document).

•When connecting one computer to four printers, make sure the switches are set correctly. See page 7.

•Confirm that the cable from the PC to the AutoSwitch is straight-through, Belkin Part# F3D111-XX. If you have a Belkin Part# F3D508-XX (or any Interlink™/Direct Cable Connection cable), it will NOT work.

•Check to make sure your printer is on line.

•Make sure that you are using the correct printer driver. If you are, try downloading the latest Raster or output-only printer driver from your printer manufacturer's website.

•Add power supply,

9V at 300mA, sold separately.

• Avoid using cables longer than 4.5m.
