Technical Notes

Windows Printing System Users

If you have a printer installed on your computer that uses the Windows

Printing System, you may experience the following problems:

The first half of page one is printed and then ejected. More pages are

printed with one to five lines of garbage characters and then ejected.

Scanning fails.

To stop the continuous print, press

FUNCTION

and then

PRINTER

RESET

on the operator panel of the MultiPASS C3000.

To eliminate the problem, you must uninstall the Windows Printing

System program and remove the Windows Printing System printer

driver.

If you still want to use the Windows Printing System printer, Canon

recommends that you install a second parallel port.

MultiPASS Hardware Cannot Initialize

1. Remove any switch boxes, zip drives, tape backups, docking

stations, scanners, and any software associated with these products.

Make sure that the MultiPASS C3000 is connected directly to the PC

with a bi-directional (IEEE 1284-compliant) interface cable that is 6

feet or shorter.

2. Shut down the PC and unplug the MultiPASS C3000. Disconnect

and reconnect the interface cable. Plug in the MultiPASS C3000 and

wait until the LCD displays the date and time. Once the unit is in

Standby mode (the LCD displays the date and Receive Mode), turn

on the PC.

3. Check that the parallel port is set for ECP or bi-directional mode in

the computer’s BIOS. If you do not know how to enter the BIOS or

make the changes, contact the computer manufacturer.
