•Your cable may be broken or you may have the wrong kind of cable. If so, the WinBook notebook will not be able to communicate with external devices. Try replacing the cable.

PROBLEM: My external printer is not working.

ACTIONS:

•Make sure the printer is ready to print. Check the printer’s power cable to see that it is properly plugged into the printer and the electrical outlet. Also see that the printer’s communication cable is connected properly to the WinBook notebook’s Parallel Port and to the port of the printer.

•If the printer is turned on, there should be a power indicator that illuminates. There is also usually an indicator showing that the printer is “ready” or “on-line”. If this indicator is not illuminated, check to see that the printer has paper, and that the paper is aligned properly in the paper tray.

•Some printers require communication with the system when you boot up. If you connected your printer after starting your WinBook notebook, try restarting the computer.

•If you have a parallel device with a pass-though (such as a scanner or external drive) between your WinBook notebook and your printer, make sure that the connections are secure and that the parallel device is on (many pass through devices require power to allow parallel signals to pass through).
