Start Infrared Monitor before you print.

Make sure the infrared light path is not blocked.

Make sure Windows is running—infrared printing is supported only while Windows is running.

Make sure the infrared printer is IrDA compatible.

Make sure you have not disabled IrDA support on your OmniBook.

If you have a PC card that uses interrupt 3, try removing it before printing.

If a printer stops when you turn off the OmniBook

If the ac adapter is connected, don’t turn off the OmniBook until the job is finished printing. When you turn off the OmniBook while the ac adapter is connected, it sends a reset signal to the printer. (If you’re not using the ac adapter, no reset signal is sent.)

If the left edge of printed output is missing

If the printer you’re using is a 600-dpi (dots per inch) printer, try selecting a compatible printer driver for a 300-dpi printer. For example, for a 600-dpi HP LaserJet printer, try using the HP LaserJet IIIsi driver (300-dpi). Certain applications may not work properly with 600-dpi printers.

Memory Problems

If a message says you’re out of memory

To find out how much memory is in your OmniBook, run the System Configuration Utility.

Exit Windows, then type win to restart Windows. If this doesn’t fix the problem, exit Windows and reboot the OmniBook.

Pointing Device and Mouse Problems

If the pointer is difficult to control

Adjust the pointer settings using the Mouse icon in Control Panel.

If the pointing device doesn’t work

Make sure you don’t have an external mouse connected to the OmniBook.

If you just disconnected an external mouse, try exiting and restarting Windows to make the OmniBook pointing device active again.

Unplug the ac adapter if present, then press the blue On/Suspend button to turn off (suspend) the OmniBook, then turn it on again without moving the pointing device.

Reset the OmniBook.

If a mouse connected to the serial port doesn’t work properly
