Technical Notes

Using Other Bi-directional Devices

If you have another bi-directional device (such as a Windows Printing System printer or a later-model laser printer) installed on your computer and you are attempting to use the same port on which you have the MultiPASS connected, you may experience undesirable results when printing a document.

Be sure the MultiPASS is the only device configured to a particular port. The MultiPASS operates properly only with a dedicated parallel port.

MultiPASS Hardware Cannot Initialize

If you see the following screen during the installation process, try to solve the problem by following the procedures below.

1.Confirm that the MultiPASS unit is plugged into a power source and that the date and Receive Mode are displayed in the LCD before turning on the PC or starting Windows. It is recommended that the MultiPASS be connected directly to an AC outlet and not a power strip to which your computer is connected.

2.Check both ends of the printer cable—at the computer and at the MultiPASS—to confirm that the cable is securely fastened.

3.Confirm that the MultiPASS is configured for the correct parallel port in the Details tab of the Printer Properties. In addition, confirm that there are no port conflicts in the Device Manager tab of the System Properties.
