Troubleshooting the Printer
I cannot print.
❑The default setting for the printer port mode is correct for most printers. If
you cannot print, try changing the printer port mode. In Sony Notebook
Setup, select the Printer tab. If the printer port mode is set to ECP, change it
to bi-directional. If the printer port mode is set to bi-directional, change it to
ECP. See “Displaying the Sony Notebook Setup Screen” for details on using
Sony Notebook Setup.
❑Your connected printer may not function after the notebook resumes from a
power saving mode. If this occurs, follow these steps to reset the printer
connection:
1(Windows XP) Click Start and then select Control Panel.

3Right-click the icon of the printer that is not functioning, and then select
