9.Fax modem problems

When the communicator is used as a fax mo- dem (see Chapter 10 "System: Fax modem" on page 10-5), use autobauding. The commu- nicator and the PC must be using the same baud rate. For the communicator, this is set in System settings. For the PC, the baud rate is set in the PC’s connectivity software.

If a cable connection is used, fully compatible operation with all PC fax and terminal soft- ware cannot be guaranteed (consult with your Nokia retailer). If you experience prob- lems with your PC fax software, use the in- frared connection.

Connectivity and printing

If you experience problems establishing a data connection with the remote modem, you can try fixing the data transmission rate by using an AT command, for example, ATS35=6, which defines the remote modem as a V.32 modem. Common AT commands (based on the ETSI 07.07 standard) supported by the Nokia 9000i Communicator are listed in the file atcomm.txt on the diskette sup- plied with the product. For information on how to use the AT commands, consult the documentation of the telecommunication or fax application that you use on your PC.

Connectivity and printing

10. Cannot print

Direct printing is possible via an infrared link only. The remote infrared port must be com- patible to the IrDA standard. Check the IR connection, see Chapter 10 "System: Con- necting to a PC" on page 10-6.

You are using an incorrect printer driver, see Chapter 8 "Notes: Printing documents" on page 8-4.

If you fail to establish a working infrared connection, transfer the file to a PC and use the PC to print the document. See Chapter 10 "System: File transfer" on page 10-7. Alter- natively, you can send the document as a fax to the nearest fax machine. See Chapter 5 "Fax: Fax settings" on page 5-1.

11. PC connectivity problems

The PC software for desktop connectivity is not installed, see Chapter 10 "System: Con- necting to a PC" on page 10-6. The software is found on the diskette included in the com- municator sales package.

Check the cable or IrDA connection used. If an infrared connection is used, the IR ports

must be facing each other, see Chapter 10 "System: Connecting to a PC" on page 10-6.

12. Infrared connection

The communicator may be connected to a computer, laptop or printer via an infrared connection.

If you wish to use an infrared connection, the computer to which you want to establish a connection must have an IrDA compatible infrared port; installed and activated IrDA drivers; and Microsoft Windows 95 (for more information on IrDA drivers and their use in Windows 95, contact Microsoft).

If the IrDA drivers are activated on your com- puter, the computer will automatically detect the presence of the communicator.

If you want use a printer which does not have an infrared port, you may try to connect to the printer via an IrDA adapter (not supplied with the Nokia 9000i Communicator).

For further information see readme.txt file on the diskette supplied with the communicator.
