*1 When the unit is connected through the parallel port, the Print Status Window can only be used when the parallel port is set to ECP mode. To set the parallel port mode, refer to your computer manual or ask the manufacturer of your computer.

*2 Sharpdesk can be installed when using a parallel interface connection, however, the unit’s scanner function cannot be used.

If you are using some of your computer’s memory as a RAM drive, the

printer driver may not be allocated the correct amount of memory. In such a case, reduce the size of your RAM disk, or do not use the RAM disk. Please refer to your Windows documentation for further information.

Is there another GDI printer driver or a Windows Printing System printer driver already installed? If installed, change the printer port setting. For the change of the printer port setting, see "USING OTHER INSTALLED DRIVERS" (p.44).
