The diagnostics program verifies
that the adapter has been properly
connected, executes several self-test
routines, and displays the following
information:

• IRQ line used (if any)
• Interrupt line polarity of the
parallel port
• Data transfer method
(unidirectional or bidirectional)
• Node address
• Model name and hardware
version

If the Adapter is not properly
connected or not powered, the
following message is displayed:

or driver already loaded.
This message will also be displayed if
one of the pocket adapter drivers is
loaded. In this case, unload the
driver or reboot the PC.
