Communications Test and Two-way Communications (Parallel Cable)

When connected with a parallel printer cable, the printer software tests the communication between the computer and the printer, telling you if you have two-way communication. Two-way communication allows information to pass between the printer and the computer. If you do not have two-way communication, your printer cannot send messages to the computer. However, you can still print.

Note: If the New Hardware Found box appears during the installation procedure, click the ÒXÓ in the upper-right corner of the box, or click Cancel.

1Insert Disk 1 into the disk drive.
