■See “Check for a conflict with the parallel port (some other device using the same IRQ or I/O as the parallel port).” on page 1-10. For example, a sound board or fax/modem board may be using the same IRQ. If you discover conflicts, change the IRQ setting on the other device. Refer to the manuals that came with your computer and other devices for instructions.

■If your printer is attached to the CD-Writer Plus drive, printing documents while using the rewritable CD drive (for example, playing audio CDs, writing to disc) will yield unpredictable results and is not a supported function. This is because the printer and CD-Writer Plus drive are sharing the same data cable.
