Printer Cannot Be Initialized.

❏Is the operation panel blank?

You might have a power problem. Check that the power cord is plugged securely into the printer, and that your electrical source is OK. You should have the printer connected directly to its own AC outlet and not connected to a power strip to which your computer is connected.

❏Is the printer set to the correct port?

Make sure that the printer is configured for the correct port in the Printer Properties dialog box. Check both ends of the printer cable to be sure that it is securely fastened.

Installation Is Displaying Unexpected Behavior.

❏For Windows 2000/XP: Are you not able to complete the installation of the printer driver?

During the installation, you may be unable to continue beyond the dialog box prompting you to connect your printer cable to your port. (If you cannot continue, the system is unable to display the found new hardware wizard, described in Step 6 in the “Installing the Software” section in Chapter 2.)

In this situation, you need to exit the setup, remove the device from the Windows Device Manager, and restart the installation process.

To resolve this situation:

1.Click No in the dialog box prompting you to connect your cable, and exit the setup.

2.Remove the device from the Windows Device Manager. The device may appear listed as Canon FAX-L290 or Unknown Device.
